Does Joe Sacco Deserve to be Officially the HC of the Bruins in 2025 2026

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I am well aware of the timeline.

I am also well aware that Harry Sinden was a next generation iteration of Jack Adams, for good and ill.

If you can elaborate as to Sinden's hostility toward Burns, I would like to understand.

If not, no problem.
@GordonHowe Harry has never said why.

Harry holds grudges - Ask Cheevers and Park. Maybe Harry got a speeding ticket from him.....

Red Fisher would nag Harry in print anytime he knew Sinden was in Montreal, but he would not budge.

I spent an afternoon working on a video shoot at Burns' home in 2009. One of his neighbors was Bill Lee. Burns lived in Quebec, but the only way to drive to his home was in Vermont.

Guess I'll add this to the list, legion as it is, of petty Harry stories.

As if more were needed to prove the point.

At one time a great hockey mind.

That had its last gasp in 1990.

I can't say I'll be sorry when he's gone.
 
The only way I want Sacco back is if Mike Sullivan is made available by Pittsburgh. Sullivan loves his teams to play as soft as he did. He hates hitting, fighting and overall physical play. Again, like himself.
Also, I think Country Club Charlie would be worse with his father-in-law behind the bench. I would like to see Torts behind the Bruins bench. I have no need for a “players coach” and I really don’t care if the players like the coach or not. We need results, not more coddling.

What a bad take on Sullivan.
