Boston Bruins officially fire head coach Bruce Cassidy
Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney announced that the club has relieved Bruce Cassidy of his duties as head coach. Cassidy has served as head coach of the team since February 7, 2017.
The search for the next head coach of the Boston Bruins will begin immediately.
Sweeney released this statement:
" Today I informed Bruce Cassidy that I was making a head coaching change ... After 14 years working with Bruce, this was an extremely difficult decision. I want to thank and acknowledge Bruce for all his work and success with the Bruins organization. His head coaching record for the Bruins is impressive, and we are appreciative of Bruce both professionally and personally. After taking some time to fully digest everything, I felt that the direction of our team for both this season and beyond would benefit from a new voice. I want to wish Bruce, Julie, Shannon and Cole much success as a family and with their future opportunities."
It honestly seems like Bruce Cassidy was just the guy that management decided to put the blame on. Not the right decision, in my opinion.
Bruce Cassidy will have no problem finding another job in the NHL, as he'll certainly be at the top of the list for teams that are searching for a new head coach.
