I hear ya...generally, a dman cost a tad more than a quality forward. And who knows? We are dealing with PC so maybe we could get RNH for Kampfer and 7th rounder. It'd be nice to see us win at least one deal with him involved.

MONTREALâ ââ Lately, Bruce Cassidyâs frustrationâ levelâ has beenâ tangible, with comments, grimacesâ and other smallâ signsâ indicating that itâs neverââ been quite so high during his tenure as coach of the Boston Bruins.
It only got worse after back-to-back losses to the Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres over the weekend. When the Bruins arrived at work Monday morning at Bell Centre to prepare for the Montreal Canadiens, the players learned just how frustrated Cassidy has become with the teamâs lack of accountability in all areas of its game.
The coach held a 10-minute meeting and it grabbed the attention of the players. Hours later, the Bruins thrashed their division rival, 4-0, and leapfrogged the Canadiens in the standings.
âIt was no bullshit,â said one Bruins player of the meeting.
Another player explained that the meeting was âboldâ and âhad a purpose.â
Cassidy didnât call out any individuals. It was simply a matter of âthis is what we need to do in order to win.â The message was to start with a better checking game. Play with a purpose. Be accountable. To a man, the Bruins responded.
âNo passengers at all,â said Cassidy, who acknowledged his recent frustrations. âWe did what we had to do.â
He wonât use the excuse that the team is without Patrice Bergeron, Zdeno Chara, Jake DeBrusk and Kevan Miller due to injuries. The reason for Cassidyâs high level of frustration of late is due to the fact the Bruins werenât paying attention to the details. Every time they had a breakdown, the puck ended up in their net, especially against the Penguins and Sabres.
Monday morning was a matter-of-fact moment for the Bruins.
Cassidy is the type of coach who knows when and when not to let his frustrations show. Timing is important with these types of meetings. It was a gutsy call for Cassidy to do it prior to the second game of a back-to-back. If players are tired, both mentally and physically, any message might not be received, no matter how impassioned its delivery.
Itâs the second time this season Cassidy has held this type of team meeting. The other came before a 6-3 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Dec. 8 at TD Garden, which was one of the best performances by the Bruins this season.
Bruins defenseman Torey Krug said that the players can tell how Cassidy feels about a loss by gauging how engaged and intense he is the next morning at practice or skate.
âSome nights it just isnât your night; you play a good game and you just werenât rewarded and heâs done a great job being able to brush those things off,â explained Krug. âBut, when those losses, those types of games start to pile up, he comes in with that intensity the next day. He grabbed the bull by the horns today and took over in our meetings. He made sure everyone was focused and ready to go.
âWhen you see your bench boss with that attitude, it forces you to come out firing on all cylinders and do your job.â
It didnât help that the Bruins lost to a pair of goalies Cassidy described as ânot household name(s)â in the Penguinsâ Casey DeSmith and the Sabresâ Linus Ullmark. There was no way the Bruins could come into Montreal with a lackluster effort against Canadiens goaltender Carey Price and expect to win.
âWe got spoiled at the start of the year with our goaltending, in terms of when we broke down they would bail us out,â explained Cassidy. âLately, we sort of turned the corner offensively, then weâd break down and we wouldnât get the big save and the other team would.â
When players are frustrated they turn to the coach for guidance. Whom does a coach turn to when his frustration is starting to peak?
âI actually got a pep talk from my wife this morning,â Cassidy said with a smile. âWe always talk because she knows how juiced up I get (especially) against a rival like Montreal. She said, âJust coach tonight. Get out there and get it done.â It was a quick pep talk, so Iâve got to go text her now and thank her.â
The term âcharacter winâ can be overused in professional sports. This victory against the Canadiens, however, was unquestionably a character win. Now, it will be interesting to see how the team plays.
âStandings are getting closer and closer, and I know every game matters, but points are really starting to come at a premium,â Krug said. âIt definitely builds some character, and hopefully we can build on it for sure.â
Canadiens coach Claude Julien said it best: âThey came here on a mission to win. We came just to play.â
Price agreed.
âThey definitely worked well as a team. I thought they played a pretty excellent road game. They definitely accomplished what they wanted to tonight,â the Montreal goalie said.
So did Cassidy.
