2015-2016 Providence Bruins All-Purpose Thread

[Ratty]

I never get to watch Providence but if they go out in 3 straight is it time for Cassidy to go?

5 seasons at the helm, a DNQ, two 1st rd exits, two 2nd rd exits if they lose this series.

The standards are different in judging the effectiveness of minor league coaches than ML. Sure, winning is important, but it is not the be all, end all of a coach's evaluation. Player development is. As you point out Cassidy has gotten his clubs to the playoffs four times in his tenure.

If Cassidy is not retained you won't see JFJ's announcement cite his inability to win a Calder or get them to the finals.

As I said earlier, you absolutely play the kids.....

I don't think so its development but it would suck if they lost - I'm not counting them out they are good enough to win this

 

[Ratty]

While I stand by my post that Mi coaches are judged by their development success, I realize that season ticket holders and regular fans want to see a winner, too. So do I, though I don't go to many games now that Lowell is no longer in the circuit, winning does build confidence.

Hoping the Baby Bs can pull this series out so there will be more of Heinen, O'Gara, Carlo and Senyshyn for us to talk about.

 

[Burt Reynolds]

Gonna be there tonight. Hopefully tonight isn't the end of our run already.

 

[TwineTickler]

P Bruins chokin hard. Down 1-0 early

 

[DKH]

Providence looking like a hot mess

 

[DKH]

Tommy Cross is an animal

 

[DKH]

Wow 2-0 Pens

 

[DKH]

They are playing like they had Thanksgiving dinner 2 hours ago

 

[GarbageGoal]

Not ready to play. Desperate to start a fight and the Pens are not biting.

 

[Mantis]

Thanks for the highlights.

Your announcers suck.

I am a Bruins fan haha. I am WhiteMandingo but the mods made me change my name because it had an adult movie stars name in it.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Any of you guys have a stream for the game?

 

[DKH]

Down 3-0 ugh

 

[Burt Reynolds]

3-0. Pretty bad call to give WBS a PP.

 

[DKH]

Vatrano being Vatrano at least - two quick shots in traffic

Carlo looks 6'7"

 

[Saxon Eric]

Time for Cassidy to put a for sale sign in his front yard

Betty White was in adult movies?

 

[Saxon Eric]

Never mind they'll fire one of the assistants and blame the kids for not stepping up...

Really? That's pretty lame

Saw the location and thought you were just running our noses in it, my bad.


Wonder if Cassidy gets moved up to the big club and they bring in a guy like Leaman to work with all the yutes?

 

[DKH]

4-1 Pens after two

 

[DKH]

Cassidy looks pissed

 

[Burt Reynolds]

Cassidy looks pissed

His team looks like a box of buttholes so I'd be pissed too.

 

[Fenway]

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Cassidy looks pissed

He's probably pissed that he decided to go with a rookie in Z-Mac instead of the more experienced Smith? I'm not at the game, but 4 goals on 13 shots doesn't seem like a strong outing?
