maybe sweeney is an evil genius and he constructed this roster to finish bottom 5 and get a shot at james hagens.
ok he's not, but maybe they are bad enough with monty right now to bottom out. if so, no reason to dump him now.

I think it probably is a little bit of all that has been mentioned, bottom line none of it good.
Boston media only cares about the Pat-riots, and the Celtics. The Bruins are doing exactly as the media wants them to. Be a non-factor.

You are asking about a front office that waited for a Super Bowl parade to start to fire Claude?
Allow me to rebut, though not in detail.
I think this roster is good, and can be very good. They need more scoring. They will get more scoring at some point.
The Bruins woes are almost entirely, and I would say, entirely about competent coaching, or lack thereof.
You could put *me* behind the bench and get a better result.
Montgomery must be fired. Post haste.
That is all.
It will happen. Sooner rather than later, one hopes.
Ownership is not going to tolerate missing out on the expected playoff gate after shelling out the dough they did in the off season.
I expect them to make the playoffs. If they do not, it may finally be curtains for Sweeney and Neely.
By then it will be too late.
They have to guarantee a playoff appearance. Playoff gate is all that matters to ownership.
I'll grant that Charlie Jacobs wants to win, unlike the old man. But what is most important to ownership is playoff profit.
It's a Bruins season continues to go down the tubes in the next few days, which I expected to do, Montgomery should, and will, be fired.
Jim Montgomery is feeling the heat. But there’s plenty of blame to go around for the Bruins' dreadful start.
Jim Montgomery might be on the hot seat, but he's far from the only party responsible for the Bruins' dreadful start.

A few minutes into the 2nd period of the Dallas game, I noticed us not connect on a few consecutive passes. I spent the rest of the period counting how many consecutive passes they could make, 5on5, before making a bad pass/play that led to a turnover.
They made more than 2 consecutive passes twice. TWICE! Breakout pass, turnover leaving the zone. Win a face-off, pass, lost puck. Pick up a loose puck, pass, passed into skates. Pass, pass deflected. Pass, pass missed for icing. Win a battle, pass to support, pass handcuffed the shooter wide open in the slot (Pasta)...
They were working hard, but the execution was... gross. I can't understand how a team of professionals, a team that got to the second round last year. A team that everyone here expected to finish in the top3, can't make 3 god damn passes in a row.

Bruins are in 11th place in the East. 18th in the NHL.
I know it seems like there's a lot of time to fix things, but historically teams who are not in a playoff position by Thanksgiving (6 games from now) only have a 23% chance of climbing over the teams ahead of them and getting in.
