Boston Bruins fans demand Don Sweeney dismissal after Oilers shutout
The Edmonton Oilers are coming off a no-contest win, stomping the Boston Bruins by a whopping score of 4-0.
The Boston Bruins are having a tough year to say the least. So far this season, the Bruins have already parted ways with former head coach Jim Montgomery and have failed to maintain any traction whatsoever.
The Boston Bruins had another bad night on Tuesday, losing to the Edmonton Oilers by a 4-0 final score. The Original Six club was outplayed in every area of the game and notably had just 12 shots after two periods. Due to this, they have now lost five straight games.
After another poor performance, Bruins fans let their frustrations known and directed them at general manager Don Sweeney. During the third period of the contest, Bruins fans started a "Fire Sweeney" chant from the balcony that was loud enough to be picked up on the NESN broadcast.
I think it's safe to say the Edmonton Oilers may have broken another NHL franchise here.
This game gave me flashbacks of the Oilers 6-2 win over the New York Rangers a few months ago, where GM Chris Drury put his whole team up for sale following the defeat.
The Edmonton Oilers now climb into 6th place in the NHL, posting a 25-12-3 record.
On the other hand, the Boston Bruins continue their downward spiral and risk falling out of playoff position. The B's record falls to 20-18-5
