Felger & Mazz: Neely Says Thomas, B's Have Understanding About Facebook
BOSTON (CBS) – The Tim Thomas-Facebook fiasco is becoming more and more a thing of the past, and for Cam Neely and the rest of the Bruins, that's a welcome development.
"I'd like to see it calm down. I think that'll happen, eventually," Neely said on Felger and Mazz on Tuesday. "Even though the reporters want to hear from him and he says no comment and they know he's going to say no comment, they'll eventually stop asking about it."
When it comes to how the team would like Thomas to handle his Facebook page going forward, Neely wouldn't offer much detail.
"Yeah, I don't want to get into too much of what goes on internally here," Neely said, "but I think everybody knows at least inside the organization that we have an understanding of what we'd like to see happen."
Neely was also asked about the trade deadline of Feb. 27 and whether his team is proceeding as if injured forward Nathan Horton will return from his concussion.
"I personally think that we'll see him again. I'm kind of a glass half full type of guy anyways," Neely said. "I think we'd see him back in the lineup but that's a guess more than anything else. … We certainly might look at things differently if we get definitive word, which we haven't. He's gotten better, we're expecting him to continue to progress to the point where he'll get back in the lineup."
Regarding the trade market in general, Neely said the Bruins are in the same position as many other teams in that they want to improve but aren't necessarily eager to move players.
"There's been a lot of seeds planted over the past month or two, and it's still pretty quiet. It's a slow growing season," he said.
Neely also discussed the slump of David Krejci, the significance of Tuesday night's game against the Rangers and what the Bruins need to do to build consistency.
