The team massively overachieved this year. The coach should get a lot of credit for this.

[@coreysoderlund1376]

We should be focusing on the players who dropped an absolute goose-egg in the play-off’s, not Monty.

[@johnleonard8311]

Monty is a good coach !

[@marcgallant5270]

Monty did everything possible given the roster he had.... who expected to us go deep with four #3 centers?

[@sso9442]

Monty is a great regular season coach. He's overachieved both years. Last season's team was band aided together and he still almost won the division. Two years ago, he had best record ever that no one expected at the start of that season. In the playoffs, he has his issues for sure ... either tinkers with lines too much or staying with Ullmark too long in the 2023 Floriday series, which cost them big.

[@user-xy3fo7rk8u]

In Shweeneys, 9 Years, they've gone beyond the 2nd round 1 time, so it ain't all on the coach. The debacle that took place regarding the 2015 draft, has had a lingering affect on this team, and that wasn't the coach.

[@brent8113]

Monty is single handily responsible for all the too many men calls in the playoffs!!! How is no one talking about this???? I was pissed watching those games and he had guys mix matching lines every shift! It was ridiculous!! I never seen a coach get a pass for this too many men calls on the team!! Unbelievable!!

[@Jeffnardo62]

7 of those calls vs Florida that’s the difference in the series. That’s 7 power play we gave them. Awful

[@johnleonard8311]

All the off season Boston coaches! Go take your seats and chew on your lollipops

[@marclefebvre7071]

Looks like Draisaitl won't be a Oiler next season. It would have taken real balls to hold off in free agency but right now we could be pivoting to sign him as our 1st line left Winger! Hopefully he does not sign with an east coast team!

[@quanchi371]

wish I could find Montgomery's original comments...

[@Site17]

Just said that they can't be expected to win every game 2-1

[@maxcinelli5739]

You fire Monty you lose all the culture he’s built it’s. Or his fault that you had guys like JVR and Morgan geekie and other mid players 😂

[@misterm7086]

Sadly, it’s what have you done for me lately in sports

[@kang7664]

He's in the barber's chair.

[@atgn70]

How about Don Sweeneys last season,which shouldve been 2016.

[@joegaspari8153]

no one around from that 2015 draft now

[@robertauclair2278]

​@joegaspari8153 that's the problem

[@Site17]

The absolute brain rot from you three.

[@atgn70]

@Site17 Explain in detail,especially how great sweemey has been with his draft assets and the return on his investments which he only ends up with for 6 weeks. Any knucklehead can buy free agents. Do explain.

[@Site17]

@@atgn70 Bruins have the 2nd most wins in the past 10 years. 5th in playoff wins. Results are what matters.

[@joegaspari8153]

and why didn't Sweeney try to resign often maligned Debrusk or even Heinen? Sure, they got stuck with that mediocre goalie in the Ulmark trade that chewed up the cap space.

[@Site17]

"why didn't Sweeney try" Didn't know you worked in the front office!

[@Jeffnardo62]

You have to win 2-1 and even 1-0 in the playoffs. Go back to 2011 when Boston won it all.

[@handconstructed]

Slow news day?

[@nickpete165]

yall are reaching. typical sports talk bs

[@Shootafam02124]

Montgomery has done a decent job. Sweeney needs to get off his ass and get creative. This team should’ve won a Stanley Cup already within the last 5 years.

[@peterm4486]

I won’t be sad if he’s gone

[@johnbrowne2170]

Monty does very well during the season but is having trouble in playoffs

[@peterm4486]

I couldn’t care less about regular season record…see Winnipeg coach

[@dim4757]

I think last years playoffs is enough to question his capabilities. Particularly with the goaltending. You can clearly tell by game 5 that Ullmark is playing hurt, but instead of going with Swayman for game 6 you play Ully again and finally suit up Swayman for 7? It was too late dude. If he had played Swayman in game 6 who knows what happens from there. I like Montgomery, he seems like a great person to be around, but if he has another poor playoff showing then I wont be against looking for a replacement. Yes, credit is due when you consider he took them to the 2nd round last year and took the series against Florida to 6 games given the roster he had. But, the Bruins seemed to have a really hard time staying away from too many men on ice penalties. Thats a coaching issue. I dont know if the Bruins wouldve ever beaten the Panthers in a best of 7 this year, but stuff like that doesnt help.
