Does this mean the B's will hoist the old mug like the Devils did a couple years ago? 
e-mail from the Bruins...
The Boston Bruins have relieved head coach Robbie Ftorek and assistant coach Jim Hughes of their coaching duties, it was announced tonight by Bruins General Manager Mike O?Connell. Assistant coach Wayne Cashman will remain with the team in the same role.
O?Connell will assume the head coaching duties on an interim basis. Mike Sullivan, who was in his first season as head coach of the Providence Bruins, will join the Boston staff as an assistant coach and Gerry Cheevers, who has worked as a goaltending consultant with the team this season, will continue in that position. Providence assistant coach Scott Gordon will assume the head coaching reins with the AHL Bruins for the remainder of the season.
?This change is being made at this time because of this team?s record over our past 46 games and the fact that, fairly or unfairly, the coach is judged on the record,? said O?Connell. ?This team?s record over that span is 14-24-5-3 and I have not seen any indication that our direction is changing. We are looking now at the final nine games of the regular season and my focus has to be on winning those games, clinching a playoff position and getting this team performing in a consistent enough
manner to do some damage in the playoffs.?
