Thoughts from the media
Shawn Hutcheon: “Since his hiring as head coach on February 7, 2017, former Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy coached 399 regular-season games going 245-108-46. In 2019-20, he won the NHL’s Jack Adams Award as the league’s Coach of the Year.”
Andy Strickland: “Have to wonder if Bruce Cassidy being let go will influence Patrice Bergeron to return.”
Chris Johnston: “Bruce Cassidy had one year remaining on his contract with the #bruins. The team qualified for the playoffs every season he was behind the bench.”
