Two Shaughnessys In One

Shank, two and a half weeks ago:

Are we still supposed to be patient with coach-for-life Claude and the Bruins???

Shank, four hours ago:

Bruins should never be forgiven for firing Claude on the morning on the Patriots parade. Beyond weak.

So, is Shank now fine with the firing, but not cool with the timing? Seems to me the timing doesn't matter much and is likely a function on securing a new coach before you go ahead and fire the current coach. Anyway, if you're looking for a bit more IQ behind the firing (not a high bar to clear with Shank), check out this Deadspin article.
