By now, everyone knows about the fiasco that Cam Neely and Don Sweeney got themselves into over this past weekend, but if you need a refresher, read more here.
Recently, retired NHL defenseman and co-host of the Spittin' Chiclets podcast Ryan Whitney did not hold back his strong feelings toward Bruins' management.
''How f***ing dumb is Don Sweeney? ... Your team is off to the best start they've ever had in their franchise history, and this is the move you do?''
Whitney, a Scituate, Massachusetts native, who also spent three years with the Boston University Terriers, was drafted fifth overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2002. The defenseman played 481 NHL games for the Penguins, Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers, recording 50 goals and 209 assists.
Does Whitney make a good point, though?
