Coaching the Boston Bruins was more than a job for Bruce Cassidy
Matt Porter covers the Boston Bruins for The Boston Globe, and he shared a quote from head coach Bruce Cassidy.
He shared that being the B's bench boss was more than just another job, but a dream come true. Cassidy is from Ottawa, Canada, but the team he has always rooted for is the Boston Bruins.
Matt Porter recently shared this quote on his Twitter:
"I would love � love � it if you look back and say. �Hey, that guy was a coach for the Bruins,' and the Bruins fans say, 'He did a pretty good job,' he said. "Because that's been my team my whole life."
"This whole story, to be able to make a comeback, and to do it with Boston? It's a little surreal. It could have been 30 different teams. Why Boston?"
"People believe in what they believe in, but maybe the hockey gods said, �OK, maybe we took a little away from him with some knee injuries and some lousy medical care, but we're going to give a little something later on."
"I believe that in life, you get out what you put in it. They probably thought, you know what, he worked hard, he coached the minor league team and did a decent job, let's throw him a bone."
"I got an opportunity, I think I was ready for it, did a good job and got rewarded. It's that simple. Me and a lot of guys."

It's a pretty cool story that Bruce Cassidy had his playing career cut short from terrible injuries, but it was all worth it as he got to be the head coach for his favourite team since childhood.
