NHL | Parsnip without a coach. Boston has taken a radical step

The decision of the Bruins management was announced by the general manager of the club Don Sweeney on Monday evening, three weeks after the elimination in the first round of the playoffs with Carolina.

“It simply came to our notice then. His coaching statistics at Bruins are impressive and Bruce is valued both professionally and personally, “Sweeney explained.

I’m proud of the boys, what way we went and how great a group we had, says David PastrňákVideo: Sport.cz

Cassidy, who worked for Bruins for a total of 14 years, took over the team from his predecessor and colleague Claude Julien, who won the 2011 Stanley Cup with teams around Zdena Chára, Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, David Krejčí and Tuukka Raska.

Cassidy led the Bruins to the playoffs in all seasons. In 2019, he fought his way to the Stanley Cup final with the Bears, in which they lost seven games to St. Louis. But since then, under his leadership, Boston has not made it through the second round of the playoffs.

There are a number of possible candidates for the vacancy. Overseas, Barry Trotz, Pete DeBoer and John Tortorella are mentioned.
