Re: Notes on Bruins and NHL Telecasts.

Not necessarily.  The Bruins understand that he is a talk show host, and
that he can't be expected to totally tote the B's corporate line in his
other ventures. They knew that when they hired him in the first place, and
he has been critical of Harry Sinden and Jeremy Jacobs in the past.  If Dale
isn't back next year, it'll be because his contract ran out, and I'm sure
Jacobs would want to save a few bucks by hiring an inexperienced announcer
to replace him.  I seriously doubt that his content has anything to do with
any impending departure, unless Dale himself has already made the decision
not to return.
