Sweeney should be the bloke to go. Not sure Montgomery's resume deserved the firing, but Boston do Boston things.

 

[TheYardMachine]

Wow! What a terrible season start for the Bruins

 

[SI90]

Damn.

 

[GreytWun]

Yet Yzerman keeps Lalonde around…

 

[Iggys Dome]

He’ll have a new job within a week

Florida Panthers have broken them in more ways than one

Sacco is such an incredible downgrade in coaching it's nuts. Someone is going to swoop in and get a great coach.

 

[FoxYou727]

Neely and Sweeney strike again lol

 

[Barrie22]

Liked Don Sweeney as a bruin defensemen, but what has he actually done to deserve staying GM for as long as he has?

Sully next. Let's complete the Sully and Monty swap

 

[TheBeerNerd]

I get that they had to do something to jumpstart the team, but it's not Montgomery's fault that Sweeney and Neely gave him a lousy hand. The Bruins are insanely lucky to have only felt the consequences of their mismanagement now, instead of a couple years ago.

He'll go somewhere else and do a great job. Here's to a new age of darkness in Boston.

Oilers getting ready for their annual coaching swap

 

[LevelingSolo]

Shouldn’t Sweeney/Neely be gone at this point too?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I think he is a legit good coach and Joe Sacco is an interesting choice lol

 

[Score08]

Sweeney and Neely should be sharing the Uber with Monty to the airport

Sydney Sweeney would do a better job.

 

[bossram]

I guess after 100++ point seasons back-to-back, Monty just forgot how to coach. Damn, what a shame.

Expectations were high after Sweeney's masterful offseason additions of Lindholm, Zadorov, and dithering around with Swayman.

 

[GKJ]

We all knew this was coming.

 

[Satan]

never go full monty

 

[OVO16]

Are the habs bout to pull a Claude Julien 2.0

 

[BB88]

If they are serious about anything that’s not going to be enough

At best there’s one offensive player you have to be aware of. Prime Marchand and Bergeron are long gone and they are so easy to play against because of it

 

[TLEH]

Interesting that they appoint the guy who is running their 11% powerplay to be the coach. Seems like a downgrade.

 

[Barsky]

This is so going to bite them in the ass and I'm totally here for it!

 

[OVO16]

Firing Montgomery doesnt change the fact their roster is super mid and guys like McAvoy and Carlo have regressed badly

Elias Lindholm also looks completely washed
