True though.

My team: Boston Bruins

Overall:
History and Tradition: A+ (original 6)
Division: A- (Maybe the Leafs suck but it's 5 teams with history and fans)
Uniforms: A (My favorite jersey of any Boston team, but I think a lot of people would disagree. Unique colors that are classsssic)
Ownership: B
Location: A
Arena: B+
Fans: B+ (A lot of crazy fans. But many, like myself, are sort of killing time until baseball season)

2007-08 Season:
Regular Season: B- (the start was good...)
Talent: C
Coaching: C

Greed, Failure, Mismanagement and Mediocrity "highlight" Jeremy Jacobs 33 years as owner of the Boston Bruins. The Miserly Jacobs has highjacked the team and taken advantage of the loyal fanbase for much too long and all but rendered this once proud Bruins franchise to expansion team status.

BRUINS OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT HAS COMBINED FOR JUST ONE PLAYOFF ROUND VICTORY IN THE PAST 14 YEARS

My Team: Atlanta Thrashers

Overall:
History and Tradition: C (expansion team in 1999. With such a young franchise, I can't really give it a higher grade).
Division: C (Weakest division, but one that has been home to a couple past Stanley Cup Champions: Carolina Hurricanes & Tampa Bay Lightning)
Uniforms: A+ home uniform (sky blue), C+ away uniform
Ownership: B (have brought some good talent to the team throughout the years: Kovalchuk, Heatley, Savard, Hossa, Holik)
Location: A+ (Right in downtown, beside the CNN Center, Georgia Dome, Centennial Olympic Park, Georgia Aquarium, & World of Coke Museum, and right along the subway line)
Arena: A+: Philips is among the best in the league.
Fans: C+: A dedicated base, but we really need more fans for a metro of over five million.


2007-08 Season:
Regular Season: D: (Started out promising and fell apart)
Talent: B (good players, but something is no longer gelling).
Coaching: D (Bob Hartley is apparently not what is needed).
