Bruins coach Cassidy undergoes surgery

Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy has had no other choice but to unplug from hockey since undergoing knee surgery to fix and old knee injury this summer. 

On Friday, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney met with media and gave an encouraging update on Cassidy’s condition, stating that the coach was “doing well and up and about after undergoing knee surgery on Thursday.”

We are sure Cassidy will not be resting for long. After losing the Stanley Cup to the St. Louis Blues in seven games earlier this month, he told reporters at the NHL Draft he would have kept going after Game 7, which is motivating to hear ahead of next season. 

“I would have went right back to work right after Game 7,” Cassidy said on Friday from the floor of Rogers Arena. “It’s weird. This is the longest I’ve coached, the longest run, but I was ready to go back to work the next day. It was just a good group. You know you like your job and your environment when you want to go back even when it’s this late. I think our players will tell you the same thing. I think they like being around each other.”

Let’s hope he remembers to rest to be back 1005 in September.
