Dave Lewis dismissed from the Bruins

[Drury77]

The year long experiment that led to an extremely frustrating season for the Bruins has ended today with word getting out that the Bruins and Chiarelli parted ways with Dave Lewis, and now the hunt for another coach is beginning.

Who would you like to see?? Me personally, while it's probably unlikely, I'd love Pat Burns.

here is the story from the Boston Globe:

The Bruins Friday dismissed coach Dave Lewis, a little more than two months after first-year general manager Peter Chiarelli said the 53-year-old Lewis would return for a second season with the club.

Lewis, not immediately available for comment, coached the Bruins to a disappointing 35-41-0-6 record in 2006-07, in what turned out to be his only year behind the Boston bench. Just last summer, he was signed to a four-year deal believed to be worth $800,000 annually to take over as Mike Sullivan’s successor.

The dismissal was confirmed by a source with direct involvement in the decision.

Chiarelli, who surprisingly endorsed Lewis after strong comments from owner Jeremy Jacobs in April that hinted toward Lewis’s dismissal, was not immediately available for comment.

According to the source, the Bruins have yet to name their next coach. Perhaps a leading candidate would be Pat Quinn, ex-coach of the Maple Leafs, who reportedly told a Toronto radio station today that he regretted not taking the Boston job when it was offered by Chiarelli last summer.
