High Noon for Sunny Jim? (That's me, not the podcast).
As noted previously, imho, Jim Montgomery is ultimately responsible for 90% of first round playoff debacle against FLA.
If you want chapter and verse, please see past posts on the subject. Unfortunately, the list is a long one.
Whatever one thinks of him, Mike Milbury makes a fair point.
Sunny Jim's calling card has been, if you will, the white hat. At some point, the black hat may be necessary. Given what little I've gathered, I'm not certain he's capable of credibly making that switch.
This may simply be who JM is, and he may find ways to spur his horses to victory with a pat on the head rather than a kick in the ass.
Genuine adversity is calling this season and going forward. Montgomery has had success at every level, and I can't imagine all of those teams fired on all cylinders, as the impossibly successful regular season Bruins did in 2022-23.
Surely, JM has confronted bad play and sorry streaks before, and presumably understands how to meet them.
Montgomery deserves another opportunity and I sincerely hope has learned from his mistakes. I am not certain his latest remarks affirm this.
To the point, pick up @ 21:15,
....but didn't we fire our last coach because he was a dick and the players hated him?
