OctoPulse podcast: Hiring ex-Bruins coach Cassidy carries risk, Cutter Gauthier interview

The Detroit News

ON TODAY'S PODCAST: Episode 72

Ted Kulfan lists the pros and cons of hiring ex-Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy, updates the coaching search with three assistant coaches with the Lightning, and USA Hockey's Cutter Gauthier of Northville is the interview guest.

"I was flabbergasted he (Cassidy) was fired," Kulfan said on the podcast. "This is a guy who coached that team to 100 points every year and runs a well-run operation. I actually thought he got a lot out of that roster this year. I'm not sure what direction they're heading but I can't imagine they'll find a better coach than Bruce Cassidy.
