''I did what I could here.''
Monday night was an emotional one for Bruce Cassidy, for more ways than one.
He made his return to Boston after coaching the Bruins for six seasons, was given an incredible video tribute and came away with a win.
Cassidy spoke to the media post-game and discussed the video and standing ovation from TD Garden:
''That's something that I'll get choked up about, obviously, probably in about three seconds. But I appreciated it It's that simple. I appreciate it. I did what I could here to help the team win. Now it's on to Vegas.''
Cassidy continued, stating that a return to Boston is more than just hockey, too. It's about family.
''Like I said, I really enjoyed my time here. I've been focusing on Vegas, but this game, you know, it's kinda one of those ones -- my kids are like, 'Can we come.' No, you have school. Different things like that. It's just not an ordinary game.''
