On Tuesday, the Boston Bruins parted ways with coach Jim Montgomery after a tough start to the season. Joe Sacco, who had been with the Bruins as an assistant coach for 10 years, was promoted to interim head coach. Sacco’s first job was to help the team find some consistency.
Sacco’s debut came on Thursday night against the Utah Hockey Club. He took a calm, thoughtful approach to the day. Instead of going home between the morning skate and the game, Sacco stayed at the rink to gather his thoughts.
“I stayed at Warrior (Ice Arena) today, and I was just able to just relax and kind of get my thoughts together. I want to try to enjoy the day too, as well as the night, because I knew that this was the first one. And to make sure I remembered it,” Sacco said (via boston.com).
