Feels like Sweeney is the one that lost the room. The bruins need to take a look at their money situation and Sweeney doesn’t seem to want to at all
Bruce didn't really do anything, he's had a good record. Look at the Bruins cap and stupid contracts. Their stars took deals, they signed mediocre players to larger contracts, and they didn't properly replace Krejci and Krug. Cassidy seems like a scapegoat for a bad team.
Maybe Sweeney thought the Bruins didn't get enough respect in the handshake line this year.
Cassidy did the best he could with the broken roster that Sweeny handed him. I hope the best for Cassidy, the man is one hell of a coach! Let's pray that the B's can roll it back and keep pushing
While it's a bad look now, the real damage is going to become apparent when the Bruins go shopping for a new coach. Maybe Boston is such a coveted coaching spot that candidates will ignore how Cassidy was treated, but maybe not. And who wants to go to a team where your bosses might not all be rowing in the same direction? Next stop for Pat McGuire?
Bruins are feeling the effects of the 2015 draft now.
I’m not particularly upset at the Bruins going into a rebuild, as a Bolts fan. They’re constantly overrated, and it’s always fun seeing them lose
Cassidy has a lot of issues as a coach. One of the main reasons why they moved on from Julien was that Julien struggled to bring young players in and develop them. If they didn't come in ready to go they never seemed to improve. Several years on we've seen pretty much the same thing with Cassidy. Young players who aren't just good or just figure it out themselves never seem to emerge in Boston's system. And then to me the bigger issue is asset management. A head coaches main job isn't seeing that the guys are ready to play. That's a myth. All the coaches, and all the training staff do that. A head coaches main job is setting the lineup. Deciding who plays with who and how much ice time they get. The first half of the season for Boston was pretty bad and it was pretty bad mostly because of a couple of really dumb lineup decisions that once correct Boston started rolling. There was no reason Coyle should have been the 2nd line center for 40 games. None. Haula made more sense in that slot. Jack Studnicka made more sense in that slot. That was a bad decision and it cost them a lot of points in the standings. The other super baffling decision was with Mike Reilly. When they brought him in at the trade deadline he played with McAvoy. It was the best pairing they had. And then for some reason through the first half of the seasons they just insisted that not be the pairing. It was dumb. They played everyone else with McAvoy but refused to use Reilly. Despite know not only that it worked but that it worked at like an elite level. And when they fixed that the team was much better. Those two issues alone are enough that you should be considering firing your head coach. 100%.

Yea idk why they did. If the bruins get rid of Sweeney everything will be fine
As a bruins fan I've gone into each of the past 3 seasons thinking they will do ok not great squeak into playoffs. I think cassidy has done a great job with a mediocre group and a struggling defense to 4th least GAA
I'd take what Sweeney said about Cassidy losing the room with a BIG ol' grain of salt there, Jesse. We pretty much have only his word about that, and I haven't heard any of the players confirm that. It really does seem more like Cassidy is taking the fall for Sweeney's management turning the Bruins to a mid-level team. And the way the firing went down (telling Cassidy his job is safe, letting him fire his assistant coach, then firing him two weeks later) is pretty scummy.
Please no DeBor, I'd rather become a leafs fan than root for a team with DeBore at the helm
Wasn’t Bruce. It’s upper management.
You guys are so enjoyable WHEN you dont talk constantly about the leafs.
Nah Jesse, I get that’s your initial reaction but you should look more into the Bruins management history. The team was no contender but was propelled by Cassidy.
Lol problem is the had Taylor hall for a season. No team wins with Taylor Hall.
Sweeney and Neely suck!!!! Cassidy should have stayed. He took the fall for Sweeney’s crappy management!
The gm and pres are more to blame than Cassidy.
To many coaches letting players make big decisions. Boston and Winnipeg both going through it.
To your point of haula playing with elite talent in hall and pasta yes but because they had to slot pasta down there to make up for haula they had a left shot debrusk on line one Rw
They made Cassidy the scapegoat he didn't sign ullmark to that dumb contract they could have added another wing or defenseman with that money.sweeney is the one who can't draft dumb decision.
Both Sweeney and Cassidy needed to go.
I hate how many betting adds are showing up now
Stanley Cup Reality:
You wanna win the cup, you gotta get by Tampa Bay. An experienced team of talented players totally dedicated to team defense with a world class goalie.
Bruin's roster probably doesn't get by TML anymore.
Or Florida.
Or Carolina with a 1A goalie.
Or the NYR with Igor.
There ain't much more to get out of this team even for Barry Trotz to find.
Firing Cassidy = Great Move for Bruin Haters.
Go Sweeny!!
NJ needs to hire Cassidy. Plz Fitz. Make this happen.
I really hope this is the beginning of the bruins window FINALLY closing.
Answer: Bruins ownership is extremely stupid and listened to don sweeney and cam neely.
I don't know. Seems like whenever a coach is unexpectedly fired, you then hear whispers why? Supposedly the younger players weren't fans. He goes right to the top of the list with Trotz to be hired. I think if Bergeron comes back, they'll try for one more run. If he doesn't, they may go full rebuild. Even with all their question marks, unless OTT, CLB, or DET makes a big jump, they're still probably a playoff team.
😂 Don Sweeney 1/3 in 2015 Draft = Kyle Connor (Thank You BTW) Jets Fan😅
I agree with the one-year sentiment about Bergeron. There's one last significant milestone he's on the cusp of reaching (1,000 points), which he'll easily reach if he plays one last season, but then after next year, things are gonna look waaaaaaaaaay different in Beantown.
Bruins firing of Bruce Cassidy was racist.
Hit the nail on the head ….the system. opposition coaches figured it out and Cassidy was lost. Also When injury to a player he elevated players from each line messing up every line is a bad formula PERIOD!
Babcock has entered the chat
Anyone else find themself browsing the SDPN YouTube when you run out of videos from the Hockey Guy? lol
