As the coaching carousel continues to turn, the Boston Bruins have officially revealed their next head coach – a name that had been tied to them for more than a week.

The Boston Bruins might be coming off of one of their worst seasons in recent memory, but their fans still have a rooting interest in the Stanley Cup Final. Brad Marchand started the 2024-25 season as the Bruins captain but was moved at the trade deadline to the Florida Panthers.

How is Marchand's pursuit of the Stanley Cup different from Bourque’s 2001 vision quest with the Colorado Avalanche? Let us count the ways.

But to their credit or detriment, the Bruins ‘ front office took a big swing. With Marco Sturm, they chose to chase the potential of a high ceiling rather than the safety of a probable high floor.

The NHL’s coaching carousel spins fast once again, with seven teams changing bench bosses after their season ended.

It all started after the Cup came back to Boston," the Bruins legend said on an episode of Julian Edelman's "Games With Names" podcast.
