Fans are not happy with this decision by head coach Joe Sacco, as they feel Trent Frederic needs to come out of the lineup with his play lately.

Frederic is not meant to be a center, he can fill the void here and there for the Bruins, but is meant to play on the wing, but head coach Joe Sacco keeps rolling him out there and fans are not happy with it.
