Tonight while driving home I heard former player agent and Maple Leaf official
Bill Watters state that the Boston Bruins of the late 60's early 70's should
have been a dynasty and won 4-5 Stanley Cups with the talent that they had. He
also claimed that in their losses to Montreal in 1969 and 1971 as well as Philly
in 1974 they were outcoached and placed the blame for those losses on Harry
Sinden, Tom Johnson and Bep Guidlon. He also said the same about the Don Cherry
era Bruins in so far as their loss in 1979 to Montreal.
I agree that with the talent on the Bruins in the early 70's they should have
been more successful - but outcoached? Hmm not sure. Any thoughts?
