Former Boston Bruins head coach and new bench boss for the Vegas Golden Knights, Bruce Cassidy is ready to win a Stanley Cup with a team he seems to think has more finishers than the Bruins.

As reported here earlier this week, former Dallas Stars head coach Jim Montgomery and former Providence Bruins head coach and current Seattle Kraken head coach Jay are interviewing for the Boston Bruins head coaching job. The Worcester Telegram and Gazette is now reporting of three more potential Bruins head coaches interviewing this week.
