The Golden Knights won 13 of their first 15 games with Cassidy and finished atop the Western Conference despite goaltending injuries and other adversity that might have knocked them off course - like it did last season, prompting Peter DeBoer’s firing as coach. His ability to adjust in game, and his ability to see what’s happening within a game and change on the fly or or pull a different lever - changing lines, getting a certain matchup changing the forecheck, changing neutral zone sets - if you do it, you are successful as a team.” “If you have a team, a veteran team that is ready for winning, I’m not sure there’s a better coach right now in hockey than him,” Cohen said. When the Golden Knights wanted a coach with winning experience, they hired Cassidy.
Cassidy was a midseason replacement for Julien early in 2017 and coached the Bruins to the playoffs six seasons in a row before a first-round exit last year prompted Boston to let him go.
