It seems like the Boston Bruins search for their next head coach is coming to an end after a recent announcement revealed the Boston Bruins have found their guy.
They took their time during the process, making sure they got who they wanted, but they also missed out on a lot of good head coaches during the process.
Both the
New York Rangers, and
Philadelphia Flyers took two head coaches off the board from the Bruins in Rick Tocchet, and Mike Sullivan. The Bruins were reportedly in the running for both of them, but missed out on both.
It was later revealed that
Tocchet did not want the Bruins coaching job because of GM Don Sweeney. Sweeney has a bad track record with head coaches, and he was also entering his final year of his deal, which scared Tocchet away.
