Time for some "Sacco Magic"? I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

 

[Healthy Wrap]

Now do Sweeney

The first deck chair has been repositioned.

 

[lopey]

Inevitable. Tram looks lost right now. Hope they get their shit together

 

[Kate08]

It would be funny if it wasn’t so infuriatingly predictable

 

[LSCII]

3rd coach this core has quit on. Sweet.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Sacco it to 'em

 

[Clode]

Had to happen. He's far from the only reason this season has gone belly up but you can't fire 23 players and at the end of the day its the coaches job to get his players to buy in which clearly has not happened in the slightest. I don't expect anything to change with Sacco at the helm.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Sacco far from the answer but for the now it could work. Any change at all was needed.

ryan kennedy mentioned david carle as an offseason target and i'm here for that all day long

Monty is an absolutely incredible person with an amazing story. I wish him absolutely nothing but the best. His first 2 seasons here are so, so memorable even with very little playoff success. Great guy and I'm sure he'll be picked up quick.

Seeing how this team responds will be another thing. If they miraculously start exceeding expectations with Joe f***ing Sacco, you know the reason why he left.

This core will be looked back on as the should have done more core

 

[BergyWho37]

And they say things can’t get worse..

 

[xStanleyCupsFor]

Never should have fired Bruce

 

[TD Charlie]

It’s been real

For a bit there it was fun

But it hasn’t been real fun

Best of luck, Coach.

Bruce was a meanie, Monty was a nice guy. Who can Coach these guys?

Also, time to move on from Donny. No, I don't have a replacement in mind but it's time for this team to move in another direction.

 

[Bridges31]

Doesn’t Sacco run the PP? I’d imagine he’d do well with the 5 on 5 aspect of the game.

It’s time to move on from Donny and the core players of this team.

 

[UncleRico]

Have to imagine it will be difficult to hire any legit coach when they know they have approximately 2 season and change to accomplish anything

 

[GatorMike]

It won't change anything.

Jim Montgomery was WAY down the list of problems with this team.

Historically, I've been one of Don Sweeney's biggest defenders on this board. But he lost me forever this summer. The return on the Ullmark trade was ridiculous. And the Lindholm and Zadorov deals look like boat anchors that'll make it hard for this franchise to keep their head above water in the coming years.

In a 96-hour period, Don Sweeney set this franchise up for years of failure.

If you think Jim Mongomery was a problem and wanted change, then that's fine. But don't tell me the roster that Don Sweeney put together isn't a bigger problem at this point.

 

[veganbruin]

Hell yeahhhhhh!

 

[Memokerobi]

Not a Montgomery guy by any means and this is probably well deserved especially when you take our playoff shortcomings in context. But him getting canned the first time he hits a rough patch in the regular season in 2+ years while the guys who signed a 3rd pair Dman for big money for the billionth time still get to make decisions on this team doesn't sit right with me. I hope they are gone after the season too

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Never should have fired Bruce

Absolutely needed to.
