Boston Bruins new head coach Joe Sacco issued first statement with the team
The Boston Bruins have hired Joe Sacco as the interim coach for the team after Jim Montgomery was fired yesterday.
Don Sweeney and Cam Neely had to make the tough decision to fire the Jack Adams award winner. Today marked a new day for the Bruins as Joe Sacco led practice.
He was quick to issue a statement on the next step for the team to take this season. It was a statement, that Bruins fans are going to love.
He wants the Bruins to play at a high level, which we've seen some of this roster capable of in the past.
But the key point of the statement was to make the Bruins tough to play against, a return to the "Big, Bad Bruins" would generate the right kind of hype for the team this season if Sacco can come close to delivering that product for fans.
The team's goal differential has been dismal with a -21 differential and are in the bottom five in the NHL with goals scored.
Nikita Zadarov's undisciplined play, along with Hampus Lindholm being absent from the lineup hasn't helped the Bruins situation either.
We'll see if Sacco can deliver as he will be bench boss behind the Bruins when the Utah Hockey Club takes on the B's in TD Garden on Thursday.
GM Don Sweeney has placed his full faith in the newest hire:
What has Joe Sacco accomplishedbefore his arrival in Boston?
It is a harrowing sight to see now that the Bruins have fired three Jack Adams Award-winning coaches. While Sweeney and Neely pretend to have all hands on deck, while the status quo remains.
Maybe it isn't the coach's fault in this instance? Is it the players, or the front office?
