On Monday, NHL insider Jimmy Murphy criticized the Boston Bruins' leadership and culture on social media. Murphy claimed some players urged management to fire former head coach Bruce Cassidy in June 2022. Cassidy was let go after six successful seasons, including a Stanley Cup Final appearance in 2019 and six playoff berths.
Murphy tweeted,
"A group of #NHLBruins players went to management and urged them to fire Bruce Cassidy in June 2022. Cassidy went on to win a #StanleyCup in his first season with #VegasBorn. If Jim Montgomery gets fired, what does that say about those Boston's players who are still here? At what point do they admit their so-called culture is gone? Time for some major changes, and not just the coach this time."
