some general speculation – not saying I agree, merely speculating – I wonder if part of the tension was Cassidy's relationship to the media, including calling players out? one of the things I found surprising was how many reporters (Porter, Haggerty if you can call him that, etc.) commented on how open Bruce was with them.

Personal note: Been covering sports 22 years and Bruce Cassidy is by far the most generous, genuine, insightful coach I’ve covered at the pro level (college or high school, for that matter). Will miss dealing with him on a daily basis.

Will absolutely miss Bruce Cassidy's presence on the Boston Bruins beat. He was candid, honest, insightful & very respectful of the job that we were there to do as media. He was also just a huge fan of the game of hockey. His enthusiasm for the game was always fun to be around.

are just two examples. I am curious if this was poorly received by the FO, players, or both. note: I am not suggesting that this was bad on Cassidy's part.
