The Boston Bruins are stumbling at the worst time. Despite starting off their tenure under Bruce Cassidy with explosive play and fast-paced action, the team has regressed to their old ways at the worst time. With Claude Julien at the helm, the Bruins were often criticized for being inconsistent and lacking a true will to play in the big games. This was the downfall of the team in each of the last two seasons, and the Bruins’ ultimately decided they needed a change. Cassidy was the logical replacement as the team’s interim head coach, and things started off well enough – but the team is starting to show cracks in their armor that reflect the team they once were, begging the question – was the coach the issue?
