Management Jim Montgomery

[Alan Ryan]

Hiring the new Head Coach is Domino #3.

Sweeney . . . Bergeron . . . Montgomery . . .

Who/what comes next? Krejci/Pastrnak/coaching staff/draftees/free agents/trades?

It's great to see positive movement toward another successful season for the Bruins.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

The status quo continues.

Who did you want? This doesn’t even make sense.

 

[GordonHowe]

Well you know what this calls for.......

Christmas in July?

 

[Mione134]

If anything, he'll fix our abysmal pp.

 

[quietbruinfan]

He was by far the best of the lot. Now, Sweeney, do your job for once. Cap dump a few of your garbage players and get Montgomery someone decent.

 

[DKH]

He should stick to reviewing arena nachos and hot dogs.

He is only as good as his source unfortunately for him the person or persons gave him bad info

Those Denver teams were something

 

[CDJ]

Very interesting hire, did not see that coming but not at all disappointed by it

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Why is it the Claude route?

His teams pack their own end and can't score to save their lives.

The 1 year in Dallas they were 2nd in GA but 29th in GF.

Every thing people say about Claude hating offense and wanting to win 0-0 is actually true with Montgomery

Montgomery made the playoffs his only full season in Dallas

Christmas in July Cookies!

 

[Over the volcano]

I’m hoping he’ll leave that to Savard

If anything, he'll fix our abysmal pp.

The 1 year in Dallas they were 2nd in GA but 29th in GF. They missed the playoffs despite getting .934/1.98 from Bishop.

I vaguely remember that, but that is the only way this team will be occasionally competitive.

Never heard this theory on Montgomery

His style

[DaStinger]

I like it. He's had his past issues. Most of us struggle with addiction at some point in our lives. Second chances can be earned and he put in the work.

After losing his job just over a year ago, Jim Montgomery finds himself behind the bench again, this time as a St. Louis Blues assistant.

Players did seem to like him.

When he was fired Seguin said: I was looking forward to him being my last coach in Dallas."
Benn also said "this one was a little tougher, I had a great relationship with him. I loved playing for Monty."
Joey Mac: Former Bruin and current NHL player on Montgomery: “Jim Montgomery is great coach and even better person. The guys will love playing for him and he will make this team a contender.”

Can the Athletic hire Joe McDonald?

Very nice of Torey Krug to say that about him

 

[DKH]

Yah clearly - and he ran that power play

Well Krug and Krejci were BFF

And Krug 99.9 % gave Joey Mac that quote ….

See where I’m going here

 

[HHHH]

I like the hire as well; can't say I knew a ton about every single one of the candidates but I am glad they went with someone from outside of the organization and I like what I have read about Montgomery.

Welcome to Boston!!

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

Mr. Burns hired a Monty…seems appropriate.

 

[Flannelman]

Let’s go

Too bad the first domino sucks.

 

[Gordoff]

Great hire, I hope he gets the support from the FO in terms of player upgrades asap. Welcome to Boston Monty!

 

[OV]

And not just (gag) "competitive," Sinden style (and, I fear, Sweeney style). From what little I know, they will play hard, they will finish their checks, and MM will not accept poor play.

I like it.

Months ago, I read about Montgomery's time in Dallas. It was not a good look. But, he appears to have righted the ship.

Whatever happens -- and I don't think we're in Dave Lewis territory -- I am rooting for him.

Welcome to Boston, sir.



Wait, what?

"He's hip.

"He's bald.

"He's Alex Auld." (TM)



Not an expert, but do a little digging. An intriguing selection.

Give him a chance.

I am giving him a chance....I'm just not sold. For the record, I didn't like when they hired Cassidy
as I'd heard he constantly threw his players in Washington under the bus. However, I did come to like
him to the point that I felt it was a huge mistake to fire him. (Cam's birthday present to himself on June 6th??)
He was a good coach for the Bruins that was a consistent winner even though he didn't have a full
slate of good players.

So maybe I'll come to like this hire, but for the moment I'll take the wait and see approach.

I certainly won't wish him bad luck. I hope he does well...time will tell.

The Joey Mac ‘official Bruins news breaker’ is a very entertaining

Since appears Dastardly Don has Fluto’s two Athletic columns on his ‘to do’ list - doing the opposite of what Fluto said would happen

Gotta figure next is sign Krejci and extend Pastrnak
