if the replacement is just one of his assistants or a coach from Providence then he probably won’t have mercy games. Those usually happen when they’re going outside the organization. Like when Edmonton hired Knoblauch and had to poach him from the Rangers. Woodcroft got one more game after an embarrassing loss (can’t remember if that was to the Sharks or not, but there was definitely a bad loss to the Sharks late in his tenure) and I think it may have even been a win, but it was clear they were working the phones to negotiate with the Rangers prior to that.Montgomery probably gets a mercy extra game or two while Bruins hire a replacement. Unless it was already decided to fire him before tonight and this was his mercy game,

Dammit. Hope he's okay. It would suck to see the season he's having get derailed like this.
