Bruins fire Jim Montgomery, name Joe Sacco interim head coach

[Aashir Mallik]

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

From there, who knows what happens.

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

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").

"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!
