NHL mentions B's assistant director of scouting Scott Fitzgerald, who is home in Wilmington recuperating from car accident, to warm applause.
Wilmington Patch recently caught up with Fitzgerald, in the midst of the Bruins playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Fitzgerald said he kept an eye on the team during the playoffs, and received visits at the hospital from members of the organization on a fairly regular basis.
“The longer the team goes in the playoffs, it’s therapeutic,” said Fitzgerald. “I know when I go to sleep every night that I’m getting up the next morning excited about the game. Whatever therapy I have to go through that day, I know I have the Bruins at the end of the evening.”
“We’ll talk regularly,” said Scott. “He’ll hope his team works hard and becomes successful, and I’ll hope the same. I just hope it ends up being a good, solid series, that isn’t decided by controversy or something fluky.”
