Considering how much money he has, Jacobs is now eager to sell the team captaincy. The Bruins won’t likely win the Cup again until he is willing to do this.
While there are a number of reasons why the Bruins haven’t won the Cup in a long time, most Bruins supporters place the blame squarely on one man: Jacobs. The Bruins were worth just $10 million when he purchased them in 1975, but now their market value is $230 million. You could argue that because he acquired the team during a period of poor performance, that’s why the team hasn’t won since he took over, but that simply isn’t true. The Bruins were among the best teams in the NHL and were only three years removed from winning it all in 1972.
Now there are many different reasons why the Bruins have yet to win the Cup for so long, but most Bruins fans pin the blame all on one man. Jacobs bought the Bruins for a mere $10 million in 1975 and now the Bs are listed as being worth $230 million.
Of course you could say he bought the team when they weren’t so good so that’s why they haven’t won since he took over, but that just isn’t the case. The Bruins were just three years removed from winning it all in 1972 and were one of the premier teams in the NHL.
