The red hot Boston Bruins are facing the top team in the Western Conference tonight at TD Garden, bringing in the Vegas Golden Knights for an East/West showdown. But the key storyline coming into tonight's game was the return of former Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy, who was unceremoniously dumped by Boston management this past offseason.
Not unsurprisingly, the Bruins had a video tribute for their former coach prepared during tonight's first period, and it was obvious that a wave of emotion overtook Cassidy as he watched. Take a look for yourself:
Cassidy certainly was emotional as he watched the video, reminiscing on the good memories and relationships that he built during his many seasons behind the bench for the Bruins.
