Bruins respond to CLUTCHPA

The Boston Bruins, through their public face, General Manager Joshua Anderson, have issued a response to CLUTCH Player's Association President Mike Modano and all their assorted lawyers.

Anderson, holding court on the ice as he likes to do sometimes, withdrew the statement from the inner pocket of his suitcoat. Slowly unfolding it, Anderson coughed once, then read slowly into the microphone -

"To the CLUTCHPA -

While we respect your right to determine what is right for the majority of your members, we do not respect your decision in regards to Oleg Saprykin. You want to use your fancy legal jargon to discuss rights and things, and that's nice.

As you put it, let me put it clearly and into Headline-Speak, since I know that is what the Players Association likes - B's say to CLUTCH-P-A... GFY"

With that, Anderson left the ice to stunned silence. Finally, Boston Herald reporter Hope Clinton began to giggle, which set the entire press corp into fits of laughter.
