Bruins fired Jim Montgomery

He'll be fine. Maybe they were right that he wasn't getting what they thought they should be getting out of the team, but I think that team isn't built to remain in contender status anymore and they're trying to run on fumes to stay elevated. My guess is that Sweeney and Neely will try and salvage something and still come up short as they stave off trying to do a rebuild. Might land them in that zone just outside the playoffs for a few seasons. That team has all the resources though so if they do bottom out, they'll still be able to attract free agents to supplement a rebuild or retool.

Keller had more pts. than Ovi last year. You guys aren't giving Strome enough credit, and maybe Schmaltz too much.

Strome is fine, where he is. Do you actually think he'd be more of an advantages on our roster than Schmaltz? Or are you just stirring the pot?

Bruins fired Jim Montgomery

Interesting..... Smith could this be the precedent that motivates Smith to do likewise?

It is just crazy looking at the Edmonton D roster tonight and seeing them play Josh Brown, Troy Stecher, Travis Dermott, and Ty Emberson.
