The Boston Bruins fired head coach Bruce Cassidy on Monday evening. Reactions poured in from all over the sports world, including from several notable Boston sports figures.
In seven seasons with the Bruins, Cassidy compiled a 245-108 record. He took over for Claude Julien in the middle of the 2016-17 season and lead the Bruins to the playoffs that year.
He had several notable accomplishments during his time as bench boss for the Bruins. He led the team to the Stanley Cup final after leading them to a 50-20-12 regular season record in 2018-19. He was given the Jack Adams award in 2019-20, given to the NHL’s best coach.
