It wasn't surprising to see the Bruins give up the game winning goal with eighteen seconds left in the third period yesterday to the Atlanta Thrashers, but it was interesting to hear that Dave Lewis got the word that he'll be back next season as the Bruins head coach. According to an article on BostonGlobe.com, Lewis said:
"I talked to Peter and there's nothing to worry about. We have to get better as a group. We have to get better as a team. We have a road ahead of us that we know the direction we're going. Now it's up to us, the coaches, to get better for next year. We have to have a better start. Obviously, we didn't have a strong start, fell behind, and we haven't been consistent."Even Bruins owner Jacobs gave GM Peter Chiarelli the option to fire Lewis if he wanted to. From an article on BostonGlobe.com, Jacobs said:
"If [Chiarelli] feels he wants to make a change, he has the wherewithal to do it. He can fire him or keep him, that's up to him. He is not going to be second-guessed, in either case. Whatever the decision is, he's going to make it. More than once, I've told him, 'If you feel the best thing to do is make a change, then you have to make it.' He would not be second-guessed, by me, or anyone."A little later today the Bruins will play at the New Jersey Devils.
