Bruins Fanbase Turns Against Head Coach Amidst Concerning Rumors

Wait 5 sec.

Fate can turn very quickly in the sporting world. Ask Joe Sacco, the interim head coach of the Boston Bruins, who is experiencing one such encounter currently. Soon after his elevation as the head coach of the Bruins, Sacco made a fast start, winning six of the eight games. However, things seem to have taken a turn for the worse for Sacco and Bruins as they went down fighting against the Maple Leafs in what was their fourth straight loss and second consecutive overtime defeat. As a result, Sacco faced the heat from Bruins fans, who showed their frustration.As if the Bruins’ downfall on the ice wasn’t enough, there were also concerning rumors surrounding their star player, Brad Marchand. With the trade deadline fast approaching, there were talks in some circles that their captain, Marchand, would get traded. This increased the frustration of the Bruins’ fanbase and Sacco came under fire.On the other hand, Sacco made an honest revelation about his team losing the game in the key moments. “We have to get our defensive game in order. We have to shut down teams. We have to try. This is how we have to play, and I do believe we have the offense in this room to score enough goals to win, but we have to nail down the door here,” he said. However, the Bruins’ fans were unhappy with their interim head coach as the team’s winless streak continued.Fans slam Joe Sacco as Bruins’ form goes from bad to worseInterestingly, Sacco was announced as the interim head coach of the Bruins just months back after the team parted ways with Jim Montgomery in November last year. While it hasn’t been much time since Sacco took over the head coach role, the criticism has grown with the negative environment surrounding the team. As a result, a section of fans felt that it was a decision out of compulsion rather than a choice for the Bruins to announce Sacco as their interim head coach. A fan commented, “Its almost like they fired their head coach and picked another coach that was already on the team or something.”NHL, Eishockey Herren, USA Carolina Hurricanes at Boston Bruins Nov 25, 2022 Boston, Massachusetts, USA Boston Bruins center David Krejci 46 handles the puck during the third period against the Carolina Hurricanes at TD Garden.

Some of the fans were so frustrated that they felt that Sacco didn’t deserve to be the head coach, let alone a sack. One of the fans took to Reddit and wrote, “Saco does not have the sack to be a head coach. Horrible hockey yet again.” Further, a fan was critical of Sacco and felt that the sack was nearer than ever for him. However, the fan also felt that the team was more poor than their head coach. “Sacco is indeed a mediocre head coach, he likely won’t be back. The roster in front of him, however, is even worse,” a fan wrote.While the Bruins enjoyed a good season last year, it has been a massive downfall for them this season, and off-field challenges have only made matters worse. With the uncertainty surrounding their coaching staff rising, one of the fans made an honest revelation, saying, “Seriously… We need a better coach. A coach capable of winning the Stanley Cup.” On the other hand, a section of fans were brutal in their assessment of the interim head coach, Sacco. Highlighting the team’s problems, one of the fans put Sacco at the top of that list. The comment read, “Sacco isn’t a head coach. That’s just one of the obvious problems the Bruins have on this team. That’s said, he inherited a bucket of s**t and had no chance of straightening this team out.”The Bruins currently lie third from the bottom in the Atlantic Division and it would take a monumental effort from them if they were to advance to the Stanley Cup playoffs.
