The following question was posed to the list regarding rumors that Jack
Parker may coach the Bruins:
 
"Personally, I ask "Why?"  He's king of Commonwealth Ave
and has one of the most visable programs in the USA.
Does he need a new challenge???"
 
Do we really need to ask this question?  Would we ask a successful single-A
manager why he wanted to move to the major leagues (probably less of a leap
than from D1 college to the NHL -- flame away if you want)?
 
I love college hockey as much as anyone, but if given a chance to coach the
best in the world, I'd take it.
 
Also, as I'm now living in Boston, I can confirm what was said by previous
posters about the devotion of Boston to the Bruins.  Some people in Boston
really like BU hockey (a few of them are even unaffiliated with BU), but
the Bruins are beloved; and the next man to bring Boston a cup will indeed
take his place next to Ted Williams and Larry Bird in the hearts and minds
of the people of Boston.  Now, the next perosn to bring Boston a World
Series will have a new gospel written of him. . . :-)
