Good for Monty. Obviously, the problem with the Bruins hasn’t been the coach.
Bruins fan. It's no coincidence that Sweeney was the GM who fired Julien, Cassidy, and Montgomery. He keeps bungling the salary cap every offseason. He can't put a Cup team together, so he blames the coach to cover his ass. Also…Swayman will not be a top 10 goalie playing a 55-65 game season. If Sacco doesn't return to the 41 game goalie rotation, Swayman will continue to fail. He's only in his 4th season, he plays like a rookie and he still can't stop a 1 on 1 shot.
Cassidy and Monty were a combined 365 – 149 – 69 in their 8.25 seasons behind the Bruins bench. It was never the coaches fault. Fire Sweeney.
Bruins f'kd up firing one of the winning-est coaches in Bruins history.
Good Luck to Monty….one of the best, from a seasoned Bruin fan.
All it did was scare the crap out of the players.
No wonder they are playin' better.
The Blues have been wanting Montgomery for a while.
Buddy, STL is in a retool. They aren't going to raid UFAs. They are waiting on the 5 first rounders they are developing to arrive. That team could be an absolute monster in two years
I am so HAPPY FOR HIM❤❤❤ Love him as a coach and a person!!! Bruins made a big mistake
