Cassidy Roasts His Former Team As He Returns To Boston
While the sting of his exit from Boston remains, Cassidy finds solace in the championship ring he now proudly wears.
«So anyway, we got that over with. It's nice to come back with a big, nice shiny ring on your finger too � always a good visit with that.»
Following a significant coaching shakeup in 2022, both the Bruins and Golden Knights saw success under their new leadership. With Jim Montgomery at the helm, the Bruins set records with 65 wins and 135 points, earning another Presidents' Trophy. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights, under Cassidy's guidance, rebounded from a playoff miss to secure the most points in the Western Conference and return to the postseason.
Though it seemed like a Hollywood script was in the making with a potential Stanley Cup Final showdown between the Bruins and their former coach, reality diverged from expectations, particularly with the Bruins' early playoff exit.
While Cassidy cherishes his time with the Bruins, he's proud of the championship he helped bring to Vegas. Despite facing challenges like injuries to key players, the Golden Knights remain contenders this season.
Reflecting on the Bruins strong performance this season, Cassidy isn't surprised, noting the team's core players and consistent performance year after year.
Overall, Cassidy remains grateful for his time in Boston and the opportunity to bring success to both the Bruins and the Golden Knights.
