His record is based on two seasons, and the first one season (which skews as a very positive outlier) they still had Bergeron and Krejci, while Marchand was around point per game, and Pastrnak jumped from point per game to the 110 point level.
He may have had a record seems season but he inherited a team that had won 52 games the year prior and been to the SC finals pretty recently as well (2019)
He does seem to have a pretty short shelf life, based on his stints in Dallas and Boston
We will see what he is

I dont think either club wanted to fire him, but both were forced to for very different reasons.
He is a great coach, but his alcohol problems cost him in Dallas while this last time was the fairly typical "cant fire 20 players so you have to fire the coach" scenario. If you've watched a lot of Bruins games this year, its hard to argue with it either.
There is a reason he got a 5 year deal right off the hop.
