Management Bruce Cassidy II

[BNHL]

Beleskey instead of Spooner was a mistake

 

[Spanky185]

I think Bruce did a great job.... I'm just saying I wouldn't mind them interviewing other candidates. If Bruce ends up being the right man for the job going forward I am on board but I'd like them to explore all options.

This is how I feel as well. Have no problem with Butch getting the job, but don't close any doors just yet

I can see your making your rounds. Neither player was going to make an impact so who cares?

Kind of like having two options for dinner: chicken crap or horse crap. Dinner is going to taste nasty no matter which one you choose.

 

[Gordoff]

Who else could get this result out of this team though???

I heard it enough when Fraud Julien was here leading them to 2 straight season ending dumps, so I figured I'd throw it back out there for the hell of it...

Exactly, and furthermore Julien didn't go any further than the Bruins in terms of one and done. Only difference is that CJ had a healthier team and started off with a lead in the standings with Montreal.
Cassidy started off with a deficit but ended up getting all anyone could've gotten out of them.
Too many injuries too many passengers but yet he/they almost got past the most boring damn team going.
I did not expect them to get this far 4 months ago. The B's have a great future starting very soon with young guys like Carlo, McAvoy etc etc.
Let Cassidy start fresh, possibly allow him to pick his assistants and let's see what he can do.

Bruce will take it as a form of disrespect from the management if they interview other candidates, if they do interview other people I bet Bruce moves on and takes a job elsewhere

It was apparent during the PP,they just don't have enough talent,so let's dress the guy who hits but can't put a puck in the ocean.

But then I choose the meal with the better side dish. In that case the PP-abilities that come with Spooner.

Really liked what Bruce dido with this team. I'd give him a 2 year deal and let him pick his staff (later Sacco).


Though Dafoomie tweeted a horror show scenario earlier. Not linking the direct tweet because language.

I'll miss Cassidy's cheap suits when they hire Bylsma and **** up everything they've build towards.

Oh my God that's a nightmare scenario if it ever happened.

Then convince David Quinn to leave BU and become the asst

Agreed. He did a damn good job after inheriting a very messy situation. Love to see what he'd do if he were here at the start of a season.

Not happening. Frankly I'm not all that impressed with Quinn as a coach either. Great recruiter, just an okay coach.

What about Norm Bazin?

 

[duffy]

Absolutely. I don't pretend to know if he's best longterm coach for this team.

That said he was sort of given an ultimatum..... temporary unless you make PO's

He delivered the goods and IMO coached an extraordinary series given our injuries on D and missing Krejci.

Deserves the job next year.

Agree with all you've said except for the Krejci part.
I believe the Bruins played their best with him out of the lineup, and if we could got Pasta to stop the blind back passes he learned from Krejci wed be even further ahead!

Tough choice between the sackless and the legless.

 

[BillnyeTheHockeyGuy*]

Tough choice between the sackless and the legless.

Not a tough choice for the doom and gloom crew. Whichever one Cassidy had went with, the complaint would have been the other way.

Exactly.

 

[Dellstrom]

Beleskey, Spooner, Hayes, or call up ANOTHER rookie with no experience. Can he win?

I hope he's back next season. Tough series for him but you can't ignore everything he did right.

 

[Chief Nine]

Agreed. He did a damn good job after inheriting a very messy situation. Love to see what he'd do if he were here at the start of a season.

My gut tells me that they will make him the head coach. I'm fine with it, he did a heck of a job with what he was given.

 

[DitClapper]

I'm not really a fan of his timid approach. His 'do the right thing' way will get us pushed around night after night.
But all in all he did a great job. They don't get in without him. I would bring him back.

 

[DKH]

I didn't know he was single and 24

can't see that happening...Bylsma just got canned...AGAIN! I think the book is out on him and he may be hosed for a while...until LV hires him.

 

[Hali33]

I'm happy to see him behind the bench next season.

I thought he did a great job with what he had.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Hard to rate his performance when the refs decided so many games.

 

[rocketdan9]

dafoomie must be joking

Blysma is finished...

Cassidy will need to take accountability for the teams stupid penalties...

flipping pucks into the stands and too many man on the ice.

Otherwise he did a fine job with what he had to work with....the situation he adopted

he also helped end the 3 year playoff drought


Its up to sweeney to provide him the pieces next season for better success.
