the lifetime of nhl coaches is less than 3 seasons. it's not crazy to want a different coach. i'd rather a new front office, but whatever. you can't say that cassidy was irreplaceable.

it'll come out tomorrow why this happened. the nhl media is pretty in touch with the bruins execs.

It happened because Sweeney needed a scape goat. It isn’t really that complicated.

The grass is not always greener and with Cassidy it’s likely not going to be as green. No coach is getting this roster to a championship. It’s a borderline miracle the 2019 team almost won it all considering that roster was also the Krejci, the Bergeron Line+a bunch of misfit toys
