A recent announcement just revealed that the Boston Bruins definitely made the wrong choice in firing Bruce Cassidy as head coach of the organization.
Don Sweeney has had a terrible track record with firing head coaches in the NHL, and a recent announcement just proved it.
When the Boston Bruins were looking for a new head coach in the off-season, rick Tocchet was a top candidate for the position.
Tocchet ended up revealing that Don Sweeney's past track record with firing head coaches, played a big role in him not wanting to take the job.
Now, a recent announcement just confirmed that Don Sweeney does have a terrible track record with coaches.
Firing Bruce Cassidy was a big mistake by the Boston Bruins
Former Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy was just named to Team Canada's coaching staff. Peter DeBoer, Misha Donskov, and Rick Tocchet were also named.

This is going to be the first time Bruce Cassidy makes an appearance for the Winter Olympics.
If this isn't enough to make people believe that Don Sweeney made the right choice firing Bruce Cassidy, he also went on to win a Stanley Cup with the Vegas Golden Knights during his first year with the organization.
Cassidy spent six years with the Boston Bruins as head coach, and one before that as an assistant.
He spent some time with the Providence Bruins as well, being an assistant coach for three seasons, and head coach for five.
Cassidy had a really good record in his 6 years of coaching the Boston Bruins with a record of 245-108-46.
