No McQuaid pinch no Cup ?
I believe he was an assistant there a couple of years ago- not sure what happened last year. Maybe he took a Covid leave?

The Rangers just drafted Othmann, Korczak and Grubbs in the first 3 rounds bypassing world class talent to get 200 foot guys because they have Lafreniere Kakko Kvartsov Kreider Zib & Strome and Bread Man
When your freezer is full of meat you buy vegetables. The Bruins drafted based on having Bergeron Krejci Marchand Pastrnak and they thought DeBrusk
the Lysell & Harrison picks tell you all you need to know
Studnicka Beecher Frederic Lauko Kuntar all guys taken in top 3 rounds 2016-20 to supplement the high end guys
The Rangers could have taken Lysell, Chibrikov but they were rumored after Boucher and eventually took Othmann but he’s skilled and gritty
I’m not saying the Bruins have taken the right guys but since they did a seismic shift in drafting philosophy in 2016 and restructured and expanded their scouting they have targeted players the hoped would compliment the stars they have

Two things:
1. I could watch the clip of Horton's goal every damn day and it will make me happy inside every time
2. I always forget that Quaider got an assist on that. Great work to keep Subban from clearing it past him, allowing Lucic to get the puck out of the air and set up Horton.

I like Kelly, I like McQuaid. Good leaders, tough guys. I can't complain.
Also, I'd pop if during a must-win game, Kelly came out to coach on the bench wearing a full cage.

Non-hockey item:
"On July 12, 2012, Mougenel jumped into the Boston Harbor to rescue a man who was drowning in the harbor and helped bring the man to dry land. The unknown victim was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital."
On vacation with his wife, Kim, a Boston native, and the couple’s 3-month-old daughter, Reese, Mougenel was speaking on his cellphone with a prospective player and pushing his daughter in a stroller on Boston’s Long Wharf when he saw a man walk up to a railing near the water and strip to his underwear. The 54-year old man, who Mougenel said was clearly intoxicated, then crossed over a chain and fell 20 feet into the water.
“By the time I said ‘Bud, what are you doing?’ he jumped off the pier into the (Atlantic) ocean. It was so slow. It was bizarre,” Mougenel said. “He did a couple strokes to get away from the pier and he was distressed pretty early on. By the time I ran down looking for a boat, he was submerged.”
Mougenel then plunged into the harbor to save him.
“I looked at my wife, and she looked at me like ‘Don’t you dare,’ but I’d already ripped off my shirt and was in the ocean,” Mougenel said. “By the time I got to him, he was bright purple.”
Hero head coach. I like it.

Maybe next year.
For the last three years, but was part of several organizations before that. Hopefully, that has an influence.

Kelly for Pandolfo is quite an exciting upgrade. Well earned for McQuaid as well.
A shame the Bruins cannot bring Savard in for the PP.

Wilson is far overrated as a fighter. Any true fighter can handle him without terrible difficulty. McQuaid was always willing. A lifetime Bruin. One of my favorite McQuaid videos:
Hendricks thought he was going to take the easy path away from Thornton, but I know I'd rather fight Thornton any day.
Another:
I hope McQuaid's emphasis on "Player Development" is on being a good teammate and defending each other. As well as teaching Frederic how to fight.

I forget which poster it was, but they posted a classic after that Hendricks fight. They said skipping Thornton to fight McQuaid was stupid because Thornton fights like he wants to beat you up, McQuaid fights like he wants to hang a wreath on your mother's door.

He's also a good coach that has a solid track record with defensemen

INTERESTING.
He seems, stat wise, he was a gritty/tough player. Would love that style to pour into his coaching/mindset.

Not sure it`s ever a bad thing when an organization decides to onboard two guys like this, character, well respected, not stars and not blessed with all the talent in the world but know precisely what it takes to make the NHL and more importantly, how to stay there, great hires

can`t teach toughness but one can certainly teach technique and that is precisely what Frederic needs
On another note, how long til Z signs on as an assistant or something else in the organization?
Me too! I don't know about the PRO coach, but remain a great fan of Adam and Chris. Hiring these two is a great move.
Now win me a Cup!

Lmao facts. Hiring familiar faces has almost never come back to negatively impact this organization, right? Hahaha
Honestly I’m not a fan of the constant hiring within. More often than not it’s a bunch of like minded people who know how the organization does things and won’t go against the grain. We’ve seen it with Sweeney being Neelys “yes man” and it really is getting to the point where there’s too many former bruins in the organization.

He made a fool of that tough talking Vancouver player if I'm recalling this correctly.
