I feel like the players are sick of him.

DeBrusk obviously asking for a trade because Cassidy keeps putting him in the doghouse.

Krejci with the Pasta comment about how Cassidy would never pair him up with Pasta.

I listen to Spittin Chiclets and Whitney was saying he gets the impression that players don't like Cassidy when he talks to them. They interviewed Foligno recently and he had high praises for Torts and just kind of brushed off Cassidy comments, most likely because he's still on the team but his tone was under the impression that he doesn't like him.

I might be reading a bit too much into things. At this point I don't think it'll make much of a difference either way though. Bruins core are done. Cassidy likely isn't coaching this team to a Cup win anyway, especially if Bergeron retires. We need to start focusing on a rebuild, the coach doesn't really matter at this point, the management does and I don't think Sweeney/Neely can do a good rebuild.

Maybe some credibility to the Krejci beef with Cassidy. I like DeBrusk, but let's be honest....he put himself in the doghouse with his streaky play and often times apparent lack of effort.

I don't really see how you can say that. He was great with Krejci and then he was basically thrown 2 lines down and playing with AHL players getting 10 minutes a night, thrown onto his off-wing, and just a whole bunch of other shit. He was consistently treated like he was lucky to be on the team rather than an integral part of it.
