A coach with emotion!
Sign us up. Bruce is a very good coach but perhaps a better assistant.
I like Cassidy a lot but my biggest concern with him is that when things dont go well, he has a really hard time adjusting. When the bruins look good, they look great, and all is right in the world. but when they struggle, bruce tends to have no answers
i also, much like with claude, disagree strongly with his line up choices a lot of the time. Too much conventional wisdom and not enough of a feel on the pulse of which guys will give it their all and which wont
last year, to this day, i think game 7 would have gone differently if backes was in the line up
i recognize he was slow, washed up, whatever. but there is no way in hell that man would not have given it everything he has, on and off the ice had he been in the line up. After all, he was still an nhl player for many years. He might have given us a big goal, a big speech, or a stretch of take it straight to the net play that could have changed that game
with tampa, i don't like that he changed the line up from the line up that beat the canes in 5. I recognize the bolts are a better team than carolina, but its about setting the tone and playing your game, not over thinking it and trying to match the other team
