That's a relief. I had to watch the Philly feed because that's what NHLN used, and they had their rink-side reporter chime in shortly after it happened and they report that "he has a major back injury" which to me was a stupid thing to report before he even got to the hospital to get checked out. Great job, idiots.
Well, as someone else pointed out they're likely backing the Brinks Truck full of cash onto Joel Quenneville's driveway.
I'll give Sweeney credit, at least he wasn't a dick and left Monty twisting in the wind like Rutherford did with Boudreau. Once you've decided to fire a guy, fire him and just put an interim in his place. Don't negotiate behind his back.

gerard gallant would have been the best option for the bruins. Guy gets the most out of the players he has

Why do NHL teams have to be so f***ing weird and obtuse when someone is going to miss time? If you are hurt, it's not a personal leave of absence. It seems like everything has to be shrouded in mystery. I am fully onboard with players with mental health or substance or other non-hockey issues not having to declare what's wrong, but if this is a LOA due a shoulder thing, there's a thing for that, I forget what it's called... L...as Vegas?

Very true but they don’t have the time to sit on there hands and wait, like I said gerard gallant would probably be a way better option and you don’t have the hoops to jump though like you’ll have to deal with in Quenneville, just another distraction with the media when that guy gets back

You always have a much better chance of winning when you start the game on time.

Bruins kind of stink if you look at their team, seem hopeless and un fun. Are the Wings or Pens coming up next?
Dude hurt his shoulder and going on IR and it's called a personal leave of absence?
Isn't that just a hockey injury?
Oh no, Gallant would be the absolute WORST choice they could make, they just fired the guy who took a hardnosed approach with the players. They need to try someone who's more of a players' guy, like Boudreau or Quenneville.
And really, the Bruins don't give a f*** about "distractions," this is the team that publicly forced Jeremy Swayman back to the negotiation table and also for no reason signed Mitchell Miller to a contract (which I believe they're still paying).

Hahahahahaha Joe Saccotatoes back as head coach, I love it!!! (Since it's not with the Avs)
I think that team will have a resurgence at least initially since Montgomery seems to have really alienated the guys on that team...probably said some stuff you can't come back from.
Heheheheh we'll see. I don't think I believe that. No way do they stick with Sacco unless the B's just totally dominate the next month or so.

When this thing with Sacco and Boston explodes, I actually suggest Sakic take a good long look at Sacco for GM.
Think about what our record would be like if we started the SEASON on time.

You can have your take on gallant, guy get everything out his players tho. The swayman contract both parties have to take it on the chin there. They have the bruin way and swagman wanted his money. The bruins looked bad when the number came out but swayman hasn’t played handy to 8.5 million. The team is screwed they have no offence other than pasta and Marchand looks old this year. Monty wasn’t the problem regardless his record was 120-41-23 for a .714 point percentage that’s crazy
