Good interview. Bruins need a left D and a second line winger. Spooner not benched because of D,he was benched because of O. Colin Miller hit a wall,but believes he's got more,too early in his development. Krejci took a long time to recover and he was missed. Likes Chara with Carlo. Maybe Zboril or Lauzon can step in like McAvoy and Carlo.......

Montreal broke my heart too many times as a kid - Bruce Cassidy

I'm a little older than Bruce, and the habs broke my heart quite a few times too.

The Bruins and habs both had very talented teams in the 70's, but for some reason they had our number.....and so did the refs!:laugh:

If you look at it realistically, back in the 70's the Habs were uber talented compared to the B's, we were really tough and talented, but those Habs teams were on a different level. Don't even get me going on those refs, probably why to this day I don't feel the B's get a fair shake.

I love the fact that the B's have a coach who once again hates the habs.

I always thought that wasn't the case with Claude.

I think the habs definitely had a better coach (Bowman) than the Bruins, and although I hate to admit it, they had more overall talent and better goaltending.

...and better reffing!:laugh:

I should quantify my statement to mean that the post Bobby Orr Bruins were not as talented as those Habs teams, with Orr in his prime we were the best and most talented team. The Don Cherry gang despite not being nearly as talented as the Habs gave them all they could handle. That too many men on the ice call cost us the cup, and despite Cherry saying that the call was legitimate, I doubt that that call goes against the Habs back in those days.

The Habs have the unwritten rule their coach must be bilingual, so I think it's fair that the Bruins have an unwritten rule of their own stating their coach must hate the Montreal Canadiens with a passion.

Let's not go overboard here. If Cassidy was out looking for a head coaching position and Montreal offered him the same contract they just gave Claude he would sign it in a heartbeat.

Either way I like him and glad he is Bruins head coach.

No way in hell that penalty would've been called on the habs in those days....the NHL league office was in Montreal back then.

...that call STILL haunts me to this day!

It's refreshing to hear a coach that actually has a personality, and is extremely candid.

Really excited to see what Bruce brings to the team.

I'd like those who excoriated Claude for throwing Spooner under the bus and ruining his confidence to comment on Cassidy's absolute skewering of Ryan in this interview. Because compared to Claude's treatment, Bruce just roasted him over an open spit, then threw his bones to the lions. :laugh:
