I'm with Dom on this one, Dale Hunter for me, I think his hiring would energize most of the fan base.
What This Means for You:
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.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord ServerThis, I want someone who will allow the younger players make mistakes, not by ignoring them if they consistently make the same mistake but not staple that kid to the bench for 55 minutes a game if they do, problem is with Dale Hunter, will he leave one of the best gigs out there in London?I don't know what who I want as a head coach, but I do know I want someone with zero connection to the Bruins, BC, or BU. I want a complete outsider to give this organization a fresh perspective.
There is zero chance Don Sweeney & Bam Bam would hire Tortorella, given his antics and resultant shelf life.
Bruce Boudreau has been around the track nearly as many times, with nothing to show for it. Also, he is a ridiculous character.
IMHO, other than perhaps coaching their kids, neither Chara nor Bergeron possess the DNA or interest to set up shop behind a bench. Especially an NHL bench.
Hired to be fired at that level? Nah. They have executive material written all over them.
General Manager (Z, already with one footin the door) & President of Hockey Operations (Patrice).
Again, it will probably be Leach, long groomed and, naturally, one of their own.
I still hate SweeNeely.
Where's that ejector thing Mike from Everett is always on about?
what style of play does Carle coach with Denver?David Carle is my first choice
If it's Torts then I want Brian Burke as GM, they'll be oozing truculence
He’s from ConcordNo thanks
I voted other.
Should be me.
Otherwise I am with @Saxon Eric and go Carle. But I would love Dale Hunter.
Torts would be too tough, I say tough. I say by Thanksgiving; Bergeron will go up the backstairs to management office and will inform them that the coach is to mean....interpretation Torts will go off and win a cup the following yearSullivan sucks too. I take Torts over him quite honestly.
Monty IMO was too nice of a guy. Deep down he wasn't respected. Tried to act like one of the boys. Then he tried to get them to play a different style of defense this season. and it never gained any traction. Then he wasn't here long enough to get his new systems in place before he got canned.
Sullivan would be my pick, but I really don't know.He’s from Concord
He we’ve to Salem State
He’s a Red Sox fan
He drank at Major McGlicheys
He’s one of us
But Sacco is coming back and I’m a Joe guy going way back but if decides he doesn’t want me job - Torts or Sully
Joel Quenville the coach, not Joel Quenville the asshole.............. Interesting had this conversation the other night about him, neither one of changed their mind.![]()

Unlikely but preferred: Joel Quennville.
Highly likely, unfortunately: Jay Leach.
You heard it here first.![]()

Agree here.What is the Bruins' organizational philosophy under Cam Neely and Don Sweeney?
What kind of hockey team do they want to be?
What's the vision?
What kind of players do you want to draft and develop?
What kind of system do you want to install and implement?
Time to take a long, hard look in the mirror before choosing the next steps in the path.
I think the players felt the Monty D system didn't work against Florida in the first 2 games against them of the season (games 1 and 4 of the year) and basically gave up on it after that.Sullivan sucks too. I take Torts over him quite honestly.

Can you stop with Quennville. Dude isn't even that good of a coach![]()

Gotta be Torts
I want someone who represents us ~ he’s like many HF posters but actually coaching not pissed off all the time
Close the thread we got a winner
Don't you think this team is in the perfect spot for a Rick Bowness return?
Energizing the fan base is not a reason to hire a head coach....I'm with Dom on this one, Dale Hunter for me, I think his hiring would energize most of the fan base.
Yep.I think it will end, or need to be, a two year or three year sacrificial lamb coach. Because they’re gonna be in trouble for a few years.
Gotta go with Bill Peters. His system generates offense and Lindholm had his better moments coached by him.
