(frank)ing ridiculous. Why did they wait a month after Bruins were eliminated to do a procedure that has a 6 month recovery timeline?

Bergy wins Selke...

In the past 11 seasons, 1732 Selke ballots have been submitted.

Patrice Bergeron's name has been on 1605 (92.7%) of them, and he was ranked 1st on 749 (43.2%) of them.

Gotta wonder if he was starting to lose the room …. Will be telling if Bergeron and Krejci come back. And what happens with Jake…

Pasta - UTE - Hall? Boner alert 🚨

Great move. Probably Sweeney's best so far.

All coaches have a shelf life, but it wasn't Cassidy who signed useless players and lousy drafts early on...the list is long of missteps supported by Neely...

Wrong guy was fired today imo...

The good ‘ol boys’ club just bought themselves a little more time. Cassidy was the sacrificial lamb. Completely fair? Nope. But not without reason.

Cassidy was forced to take a roster with holes in it year after year and make it work, and to his credit, he did just that and then some. I think the problem was that the coaching style he needed to deploy in order to make that happen wore on some of the players and created sour relationships over time. Bruce was tough on guys, but he had to be. There was a little room for error if he wanted to ice a winning team.

Donny and Neely created the situation, Bruce dealt with it the only way he could.

Is it fair that Bruce was the fall guy? No, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Thanks n a perfect world, they all go.

Like I said earlier, it will be very interesting to see if Jake rescinds his trade request, Bergeron comes back, and Krejci returns.

Not Cassidy’s biggest fan but Sweeney is a joke.

Can only sum it up by saying Sweeney has been worse than his fellow Harvard Alum. Let's give Suffolk a shot maybe. Jesus. Fire him now you idiots.

Bruce Cassidy says multiple teams have already reached out about head coaching jobs. "I wanna get back to work. Hopefully it's a really good fit for both sides."

Cassidy said he was told at the end-of-year meeting that he would be coaching the final year of his deal.

"It'll be status quo," he was told.

Oof.

They should all be relieved at this point. Time to break up the boys club and clean house of Neely and Sweeney. Start fresh.

Yeah, that’s not a great look at all.

Hope Cassidy ends up out west, not in Philly. I see Trotz more of a fit there. Not really high on Quinn here. Jay Leach may be our guy 🤢

6 days after getting fired... perhaps Bruins (frank)ed up?

Vegas wasted no time. Great fit for both.

Bruins list of official candidates to fill Cassidy’s void is underwhelming at best …. Out of that list, I’d want Leach.
