Who's in Control?

I question the Boston Bruins decision to fire their ex-general manager Peter Chiarelli.  Chiarelli has made some questionable moves in the past few years like trading one of the NHL’s top goal-scorers Tyler Seguin and the dominating defenseman Johnny Boychuck, but he also established one of the most successful hockey teams in the past decade.  I feel as though the Bruins management team were manipulated into firing Chiarelli because fans tend put the blame of missing the playoffs on Chiarelli for these questionable trades.  People overlook the success Chiarelli organized including a stanley cup win and only associate him with trades.  This could be a result of people feeling the need to point a finger at someone after missing the playoffs.  In any case the Bruins still fired Chiarelli.  How can the management also be so ignorant to fire a man who built the foundations of this hockey empire?  I guess the fans possess all the power and all management cares about is the money in the fans wallets that purchase the tickets.  Management was manipulated into firing a successful GM because they want the fans to spend their money on tickets.  Now the management’s decision is manipulating me to write this blog.  This seems to be a chain reaction manipulation.

There could be behind the scenes things that Chiarelli did that I do not know about.  He could have been the biggest asshole known to mankind and the management just refused to put up with it any longer.  The Bruins never provided any explanation to this move so I am left assuming it was because the social hysteria Chiarelli incited after the trades he made.  The fans are left judging the moves he made after they didn’t end up working out in the Bruins favor.  Anyone can make perfect decision ex post facto.  I am frustrated by both the Bruins and the Bruins fans, yet I agree with their decision to fire Chiarelli.
