Bruins fire Jim Montgomery, name Joe Sacco interim head coach

[Aashir]

The mythical post-coach firing bump should get them into a playoff spot

From there, who knows what happens.

 

[centipede2233]

Sames as Cassidy did in Vegas.
and Keefe will do in Jersey?

Amazing how shanahan and Neely can do no wrong but yes it’s always the coaches fault lol. If shanahan and Neely can be a president, I should be a god

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

You’re not much of a facts person are you?

You mean McAvoy, Swayman, Pastrnak and Marchand? All under 30 except Marchand. Next question?

The top 6 forwards, 4 top dmen and top goalie average 29.1...

You state that as if it's a bad thing. Of course your veteran core is going to be older than the average, duh! (And by the way, nobody would call half the forwards and 2/3rds of the defense a "core").

Shanahan. Hockey politician.
Sullivan. Same

Exactly why he lobbied for dubas, dubas would ensure his job security, smart decision

"Veteran core" ?

Now a core has to be comprised of veterans ?

And doesn't the core of a team consists of the Top 6 forwards, Top 4 dmen and the #1 goalie ?

Unless you're a big fan of Lewis Caroll's Humpty Dumpty (Through a Looking Glass).

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’"​

Good grief, only on HF main boards would some idiot argue that a team with the 7th youngest average age in the league is somehow considered old. Maths is hard!

That's what I pointed to calling him a hockey politician.
His "smart decision" was self serving ti keep his job.........but he hasn't made a smart coaching decision in years.

 

[wintersej]

The defensive structure is night and day.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

They are just tearing it up out there. 3 GF in 2 games!

 

[Sigh]

They are just tearing it up out there. 3 GF in 2 games!

Do GA next!

 

[BallardEra]

Montgomery probably wants nothing to do with going to Pittsburgh.

 

[Richiebottles]

Next Habs coach

When did anyone claim they were old ?

It’ll come down to Detroit and St. Louis most likely.

Give me Shanahan and Berube. Talk all the crap you want, but that's what I'd settle with given the choice.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

2 wins to start are nice, but if he really wanted to impress me, he would have made sure tonight was a shutout as well.

 

[McGarnagle]

We're now living in the era of Sacc Adams

well, I can say Mr President to both, but one thing is sure, you ain't god and unlikely will.

Yea after turning the whole operation over to Kyle Dubass Dubas for 5 years!...... shanny finally goes back to real GM and an NHL coach with a winning resume . Better late than never.

 

[The don godfather]

1 goal against in 2 games . Something has changed for sure.

One thing is for sure, you must be a real treat to talk to

He would take the job if it was offered but then you'd have to assume FSG gave permission to fire that idiot Mike Sullivan.

I sometimes have difficulty reading stupidity and arrogance in the same sentence.
