One thing is for sure: the fan outrage forced Morgan Center to send out this letter.
Though he should never have gotten that extension in the first place, Alford is at least taking responsibility.

One would think that this does take a year off of Alford's buyout, since the buyout was extended a year along with the base extension.

@RobDauster @BruinReport Alford's a better Tom Crean- I hope the Bruins give him time.
