We should have a thread of fatherisms (and momisms)

When I was working on something, he always would say , instead of get your work in front of you , he said " get your ass behind you"
My dad working on the boiler...

Dad: Pass me a hammer.
Me: I don't see a hammer.
Dad: Anything can be a hammer!

Now anytime anyone asks for a hammer in my house everyone says "Anything can be a hammah!

1. Im GM I need to know if it was this coach

2. Sacco temp ~ I’ll find my coach in offseason when assistant coaches are available and pool of head coaches is expanded

I’ll grocery shop at Whole Foods or Wegmans not White Hen Pantry or Seven Eleven, thank you

3. Jan 1 I’ve just had 6 weeks and 20 games without Monty

38 down and 44 to go

A. What’s our position
B. How we playing
C. Good place and add or hopeless and subtract

Steps need to be taken

and soon. Sweeney heading team Canada must be distracting.
Four Nations BS is just that.
I only care about one team, Boston Bruins.

Only in Boston would we have a coach who is 120-40-15 as Head Coach, a top six with 2 top six players on it and he is the one at risk of being fired NOT the management team...

Heard, but it’s also about the mental execution and that finger points at Monty. It’s not just that they need some more skill, it’s that everyone is playing like an idiot.

When the tournament comes up with my hockey buddies I call it the Bullshit Cup. Look at the talent that won't be there. Kucherov, Draisaitl, Pastrnak, Shesterkin, etc.

They should of just done a Canada vs. USA best of 5 or 7. That would of been much more interesting IMO. Your not playing any games in Europe. I wonder what the tickets sales will be like for Finland vs. Sweden games in NA.

There's a very "good" reason Sweeney personally shouldn't fire Monty right now.

Very little heat on him at the moment. Almost all of it on Monty. But what happens if Donald cans James and the team still sucks all the same?

I'll buy a ticket to that.

Can’t operate like that - they might as well replace Monty with the weatherman Phil Connors from Ground Hog Day for the third period

They are destined to go down the drain as is ~ he needs to move on

Monty is a good guy, good coach, but this is like a gazillion relationships where for whatever reason there is no passion - and without passion you are 8-8-2

Sweeney needs to act asap they aren’t even a quarter in but as Yogi Berra said ‘it’s getting late, early’

I simply can not believe that the Bruins are as bad as their record. I know what Berra said but on paper this looked like a big hard hitting team that needed to add one or two players with a scoring touch.
In the playoffs of '23 Monty didn't know what to do with the new additions except to confuse them.
Right now almost everyone looks confused and Montgomery looks as though he's checked out.
No answers.
Start with a new or an interim coach and see how the
rest of the season goes forth.
NO time to waste this must be done post haste.
That day is here.
