I mentioned it in the other thread but why exactly are some people convinced Monty is the coach we need?
I understand the St. Louis ties and he seems universally liked as a person, but I'm just wondering why he's such a hot topic around here. True, he's had a lot of regular season success lately but I've also read comments from Bruins fans that he got severely outcoached in the playoffs and didn't take responsibility for the team's loss.
Obviously he was hyped a lot during the Bruins record breaking season but his stock has fallen since then and the Bruins are a shitshow this year. I honestly can't see the Blues firing Bannister this soon into his extension but if Monty takes the rest of the year off then maybe he comes here next summer. I'm just not as sold on Monty as some other people I guess.
