Former Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy is making a strong statement in the Eastern Conference Finals as the leader of the Vegas Golden Knights. His success with the Golden Knights, including a pivotal Game 2 victory against the Dallas Stars, puts the spotlight on the Bruins' decision to let him go.
Cassidy's achievements with the Golden Knights provide an intriguing contrast to the Bruins' postseason collapse under their new coach, Jim Montgomery. While the Bruins had a remarkable regular season, their journey ended in disappointment as they squandered a 3-1 series lead against the Florida Panthers in Game 7.
