Interesting thought, and not really an outlandish one.  The Bruins are not at
all opposed to hiring college head coaches.  BU Coach Jack Parker was offered
and turned down the B's coaching job in '91.  It's too bad Sutter was fired.
I thought that he was a good coach with a good team that needed 1 or 2 more
players to do well in the postseason.
