It’s extremely bizarre as well, that in general, the media is completely ignoring the fact that the guy breaking all of this news in the NHL, Kevin Weekes, said in plain English that he’s spoken with “enough” people in Boston that have told him the players were “just kind of over” Cassidy and his message.I swear the Boston Media has spent more time pining over the loss of Cassidy then talking about potential candidates to replace him.
I'm not defending the media here... but with the way people disregard what they say, while would anyone care who the media think are potential candidates?I swear the Boston Media has spent more time pining over the loss of Cassidy then talking about potential candidates to replace him.
Their job is to cover the local sports team, Not the past coach of the local sports team who is now on the other side of the country. Especially if that coach spend 6 years here and didn't win anything. I mean Claude won a cup and didn't get the red carpet treatment.I'm not defending the media here... but with the way people disregard what they say, while would anyone care who the media think are potential candidates?
"It's just xxxx, so that means whatever they say won't happen."
"yyyyyy has no connections, that can't be true."
If Bruins are tight lipped about it, all they offer is speculation, and it's a damned if they do, damned if they don't situation right now.
These threads offer more insight and options that I would respect over many "published" articles by Boston media at this point.
Checks username to see if you have skin in the game sarcasm of coursebu who would hire Neely or Sweeney that fast, or at any time ?
I don’t think any team would hire Neely. He’s a mediocre hockey mind and apparently has a huge ego. If he never played for the Bruins he would never have gotten his current gig.i don't think Cassidy is a good coach, bu who would hire Neely or Sweeney that fast, or at any time ?

Sweeney would likely get an AGM job but I doubt it would happen as quickly as Bruce getting snatched up. Heck, if Chiarelli was able to get a GM gig after getting canned it’s possible Sweeney would, too.

if they want to run stories about Belichick for a 10 year period after he eventually leaves so be it. but Cassidy? its sour grapes and silly.

Well they probably know the coach is Leach, Sacco or Kelly maybeI swear the Boston Media has spent more time pining over the loss of Cassidy then talking about potential candidates to replace him.
How about he takes some of that money and fix the crappy ice?I'm sure no other owner cares about making money just JJ
What pattern of mediocrity has been established now?It's summer and there is not much to talk about with the Bruins, so it has legs. As soon as they hire someone, or when Bergeron makes a decision, they will move on. And, more important, I think it has less to do with Cassidy and more about the fact that Don Sweeney still has a job because sacking Bruce, whatever merits it might have had, was rightly seen as a poor attempt at deflecting blame from where it mostly belongs.
Clode didn't get this because Sweeney was new in the job, and there was no real pattern of mediocrity established. Sweeney also got the benefit of being new in that it was perceived as him remaking the franchise in the image he wanted. I would guess that if it had been five years into Sweeney's tenure it would have looked different.

Sweeney's wizardry with the cap earlier in his career - especially in getting Pasta, Bergeron & Marchand signed to very team-friendly deals - has always been his calling card. He would not be unemployed long (although he likely would get hired as an AGM somewhere).Sweeney would likely get an AGM job but I doubt it would happen as quickly as Bruce getting snatched up. Heck, if Chiarelli was able to get a GM gig after getting canned it’s possible Sweeney would, too.
Julien was also fired midseason (and in the middle of the Patriots' Super Bowl parade). Lots of other stuff going on and there was Bruins news. And the team was clearly faltering and looking to miss the playoffs for a third straight year.Clode didn't get this because Sweeney was new in the job, and there was no real pattern of mediocrity established.
