Bissonnette speaks out against owner Jacobs
Paul Bissonnette - W - Phoenix Coyotes
Nov. 22, 2012 - 8:50 AM ET

While most of his NHL brethren has chosen to target NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, Phoenix Coyotes tough guy Paul Bissonnette chose to make Boston owner Jeremy Jacobs the subject of his frustration.

"I'm more upset with a guy like [Boston Bruins owner Jeremy] Jacobs," he said in Wednesday morning interview with Sirius XM Home Ice Radio. "It just sounds so hypocritical for him to think the last CBA was so awful and how garbage it was, and then go out and sign three of his top guys right before the last one expired. If it was that bad, why rush to sign those guys? Why not wait until the new CBA comes?" The Bruins signed Milan Lucic, Brad Marchand and Tyler Seguin right before the lockout to long-term deals.
