Who is the Next Coach of the Boston Bruins?
Mike Sullivan and Rick Tocchet are both available now, and I would think they would jump to the top of the Boston Bruins wishlist.
What do you think of either Mike Sullivan or Rick Tocchet being the next head coach of the Boston Bruins?

Who would you want as coach?
i dont think you can keep sacco. Hes been part of the last 10 years running the pp and its been dog shit. Need a whole new coaching staff for a fresh start
Also like to hear about assistants. D coach Jay Leach has been "put on waivers" – given clearance to talk to other franchises about coaching jobs.
Our assistants and development coaches will be crucial.
Keep disrespecting Claude Julien all you want, he's laughing all the way to the playoffs.
You can cover plenty of problems with FAs but sooner or later you need to hit some picks in the draft. It has been a while since the Bruins have made and difference making picks in the draft. I am not convinced who the coach is will matter much if we don't start getting some good draft selections. That said, I like Sullivan and wouldn't mind seeing him here. I bet he got tired of not wasting Crosby's remaining years by wasting his remaining years one by one. He might be able to provide a cautionary tale to Sweeney of spending years in perpetual retool. I don't know though I think the Pens are Sweeney's role model.
There's no doubt these coaches are both good options for the Bruins. Personally, I don't enjoy the whole just rolling out the red carpet and giving family members and friends/people with ties to the area jobs.
Of course that's not the only factor in play here, but to me it shouldn't be a factor at all. I've seen it multiple times in my part of the world where being in an environment where there's numerous family members and friends together does not make for a dynamic where people are all held accountable and where professional behaviour runs throughout.
I think it is about finding the next coach who could be as good as Sullivan, Tocchet, or someone like Jon Cooper, who has won multiple Stanley Cups in Tampa.
Marco Sturm looks like a great fit, but Sweenis' ass is on the line, as this coming season is a contract year for Donny boy. He'll try to get one of these two, if not both (losing out on their first choice).
id bring sully back for sure. although he was our coach during the epic collapse against montreal in 04, i still think about that one occasionally.
Interesting, … the talking heads on radio do NOT like the idea of coaching a son-in-law
Personally, I want Sullivan as I see him as the best coach for the job. He'd be a better choice that a retread older coach who doesn't play rookies or youth, from Providence.
BUT end of day, I am not overly confident in the GM and President, as they want the safe route. There's no way they can pass the blame off any longer, on coaches. Too many Jack Adams have coached, been fired, then gone on to win or go deep in playoffs!
I am with you: Sullivan is the fit for Boston and Tocchet is the fit for Philly. The real question is: who becomes my ISLES GM?
Please be Sully 🙏🏼
I would like the Bruins to hire Mike Sullivan. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. I dont want Rick Tocchet. He would be great in Philly. I dont want Tortorella either.
No way Sullivan nepotism Charlie Mac can just float along without a care in the world just like he did last year.
I don't know much about hockey but maybe I could be their new coach?
We saw how drama played out in Boston. We need hockey leadership and talent.
Woodcroft with his offensive minded system would be my pick
Yes I think Mike Sullivan would be a great fit, but I think NY outbids Boston?
not sully. gone to the rangers already. i would like tocks.
I like the fact that Sullivan got hired by the Rangers. Wouldn't want him as the Bruins coach, specifically because he's McAvoy's father-in-law. The amount of potential conflict of interest drama that will be a non-stop talking point for anything and everything regarding this team just isn't needed after we already had a year of drama.
New news just posted.. he's going to NYR
Mike Keenan will be Head Coach of the Flyers. In spite of the fact that he had Open heart surgery a year ago and at 75, still has the motivation to Coach.
Looks like you were right about the Rags landing Sullivan. Reported this morning on the WWL.
We must tank next year too. We need to aquire some high pick type prospects to build. Its starts this year but will take time. Years and not months. Its going to be agonizing but the process is a must.
Sully is gone. Rick won’t even get a call from Boston. The job is going to Pandolfo
The New York Rangers have hired Mike Sullivan as coach, days after he left his job with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Sullivan's deal is for five years and will make him the highest paid coach in NHL history, sources told ESPN's Emily Kaplan.
Jacobs needs to sell the organization or fire Neely and Sweeney they are toxic to any forward growth 🙄
If I were them id do anything to get David Carle
It’s kind of a dud story with the comment saying he’s been hired by the rangers
