@ Yeah and i feel thats the only way to save the season to fire Monty even thought it isnt all hes fault , the whole team is playing like their hangover, theres no will fire or compete their just looking so casual out there
Cassidy was an outstanding coach. But he was a better Coach by the time he got to Vegas because of the lessons he learned from the situation His very first press conference in Vegas - he stated directly he was going to "trust his players vision" I followed him to Vegas - listen to many of his interviews. In the first press conference I swear, he was talking directly to some of the Bruins! So the Cassidy Vegas got wasn't exactly the same version of the Bruins. Live and learn Then go get your cup in Vegas!
As someone who recently got into hockey, I applaud your knowledge around hockey and history of the bruins. It is exceptional and is quite impressive. On another note, I find it so bizarre that if players have bad games it's pinned on the coach somehow. It seems like it happens way more in hockey then any other sport. Anyways, keep up the videos.. i look foward to them almost everyday!
@@jal252 thank you so much for the kind words. I hope you’re enjoying g the game of hockey. Yeah statically the coach takes the blame more in hockey than any other sport
@@bruinsdiehards Sweeney would promote from within as you suggested. An outsider, be it Gallant, Quenville or whomever wouldn't be an improvement in terms of knowing player tendencies, strengths, weaknesses, what makes them tick. Sacco would likely be the guy for the remainder of the season.
II/02- 3:39 pm, Now that was so much better, great job by Korpisalo, glad he got the shutout ! As far as I am concerned, Pasternak might as well have stayed home today and just phoned it in, absolutely useless. Also, I agree with you, the coach has to work with the players given, Sweeney, & neeley should be on the hotseat !
@@bruinsdiehardsSome say Pasta is trash when he doesn't show - like he's expected to sink a couple every game. Today he was much more responsible with the puck. Sometimes we forget its high risk/high reward with him. He's the focal point of the offense with right now, very little help.
@@bruinsdiehards It just seemed to me that Pasternak is going through the motions only. He doesn't fight in the corners, nor aggressively seek the puck either, "in my estimation" ! I am old school, I remember when the players earned their money by the added bonus's. So many goals, getting on the all star list, number of points, etc.. I guess knowing you'll get your $11,500,000 annually regardless, one might tend to lose one's incentive, again, "in my estimation" !! Have great day !
@@BillD1307 you see what you see but I see a game breaker when we need it and a guy that played a pretty good defensive game today against the Flyers. The Marchand, Lindholm, Pastrnak line was the best line on the ice
“I’m always about forgiveness” re Q was a breath of fresh air Court. There is way too much cancel culture out here. Certain people get 2nd, 3rd 4th chances and others get cancelled. ✝️
Fire him and hire a new coach the results will be the same year after year. The players are soft and overpaid. They are too comfortable and also fire Sweeney he should’ve been fired after that massive failure of the 2015 draft. He had 3 first round picks in one of the deepest drafts in years and flopped on all 3. How the fuck do u flop on all three. Imagine if we had barzal, conner, and chabot.
Totally agree! Sweeney has filled this team with over glorified 3rd and 4th line players. IMO, Pasta should be a prime trade piece for a haul of top notch assets but only if Sweeney is fired so he doesn't f-up said trade. Sure, Pasta can score goals but he's useless in every other aspect of the game.
so knights head coach cassidy is credited by one of their players as being the reason they won the cup, but monty defenders in boston say it is the players' fault. yes, sweeney has overpaid players he fell in love with ( coyle, foligno, etc. ) and every time he does that, he cannot pay another player he needs. that is why this roster is top heavy with bottom 6 forwards. it is all the money sweeney has left after paying his stiffs. then there is bad GMing , such as trading ullmark before signing swayman. i like swayman but he doesn't look like an 8 M per goalie right now. he probably could have been signed for less when ullmark was still a lever of influence, and maybe the money saved could have signed a top 6 forward instead of a bottom feeder. each of these millions of dollars missteps by sweeney means one more league minimum guy. sweeney knows his crappy job is under scrutiny, too, so the only card he has left to play if things continue to tank is to fire monty. it will buy himself some time to hope things correct themselves or the new coach fixes things, either by doing something new, or just because he is new. lastly, to all of you out there who have ever played a team sport, who was the day to day most important, most influential, and most consequential person in the locker room besides perhaps a captain or star player ? A : the coach. he controls everything. to say monty is not the reason this debacle continues week after week is to simply not understand his effect. who should replace monty ? i dunno. but we don't need a players' pal in the driver's seat. a coach should be aware of the pressures and bad influences that can hurt young athletes and treat them as worthwhile human beings, but he should also remind them daily that they are there to do a job and it is big business, and they have the choice of being engaged or indifferent. the coach should make them remember that he is there to ice a winning team, and if you are not on the bus, we'll drive away without you. get your head in the game or we'll find someone who will. talent level is less important than devotion level. i will take a team full of hard working and coachable fourth liners than a team full of indifferent has been stars.
Derek Lalonde? Bill Bilichick? Hey, if Canadiens could win with an illiterate coach . . . Okay, serious now, I think McClellan would be the better pick. Although you’ll need to learn how to pronounce his name🤔 (McLennan?) I like the Julian/Cassidy comparison and that he spent more than 4 years with 3 of his previous teams and had success. Court, you are excelling in this medium with a humble and measured “forecheck/back-check” approach. Quick to listen and slow to speak are terrific attributes to possess in any vocation. Keep up the good work.
... they have to show this form with some consistency. Today was great to see but it shouldn't be considered a turning point. One game. That's it. On to the next one with hopefully the same mentality.
I don't think this is a coaching issue. Might I suggest that this is a culture issue? Did Sway's contrat stance divide the dressing room? Watch the last two "Behind the B" episodes. Something is not right in the dressing room. The team is not as close as it was under the Bergeron captaincy.
@soup31314 last year was the centennial hype. Many players had career years and now we are seeing them come back to earth. Do you really think a centre core of Lindholm, Coyle and whoever is going to translate to success? Sway has been nothing but average this season. He's had one or two solid games and a bunch of average games. Not the level of a 8 million dollar goalie. My point is Sway took money over team success. Good for him. A couple of decent seasons and he holds out for 8 million. He better perform like Thomas in the 2011 playoffs every game for that money. I'm not a Bruins basher. I live and breathe black and gold. This team ain't it and it has nothing to do with the coach.
@@PSF1 lmao so the 100 year anniversary is going to make players play different lmao what talking head show you hear that from lol? Lindhom was suppose to be some great player but i highly doubted that. The defense is showing how shitty it truly is/was. Swayman has played amazing for having no support at all! You can whine and complain about him “getting paid”, but don’t hear you whining about how pasta and mcavoy both get paid more and haven’t done shit
@bruinsdiehards management does. Paying Sway like he was a vezina winner or cup winner has now pushed the team right against the cap. They can't do anything. It's a Sweeney issue. If you go about the FA market you will always pay more. This is a GM issue. Did Sweeney think Bergeron and Krejci would play forever? They drafted zero centres of note and look where they are now. And for the 2015 bashers that ws almost 10 years ago. Jesus, look at Toronto and how they have managed their cap. Sweeney f'd up with Ullmark and was pushed into a corner with a player that knew he could take advantage of the situation. But its Monty's fault? OK....
I wonder if the players analyze the way you do in getting another coach. The leafs did a good thing removing the old with the new in the summer. I see the leafs doing well. As for replacing Montgomery they won’t make the playoffs this year. Look at the Jets they’re one hot Canadian team now. If the Bruins want to win all they have to do is play each period like is there last one, simple
The special teams coach needs to go for sure. Letting Sacco take over i think is not right either. For sure not quinville. But this is why i am not an nhl gm lol
Do they even watch tape of the game afterwards? I know it’s hard playing every other day. But, they need to. It’s the “multiple” things over and over. I wouldn’t even know where to begin because so much is broken.
I'd try to find whom in the league i could bring in to gel the team and have them play as a organized unit that play together to win. PERIOD, just play your asses off, make smart choices and lets get this guys for fuks sakes!
As you know I want Monty fired, but you need to have his replacement. Quin, not a bad choice, I have seen worse. The Bruins need a defensive minded coach, bring back that defense that Bruins were known for.
I'm not sure the Bruins would want to deal with the political firestorm that would come from Quennville. All that baggage and additional scrutiny is very "un-Bruin" like. For whatever reason, I was never really a fan of McLellen. No real reason why, just never struck me as a good coach. I really hope this purge trends upward to Don, and hopefully Cam. I think whoever makes the coaching hire is not with the organization yet; but the Jacobs are in a really bad spot. Cam has been pretty awful in his role for a good number of years, but since so many Bruins still hold him in high regard from his time as a player, the backlash of firing might be very severe (even though letting him go is absolutely warranted).
@@bruinsdiehardsyou wouldn't think any team might hire him. But I firmly believe by their own interviews, that have gotten more intense, serious the last few years... there's some Bruins like marchand, Pasta McAvoy, Brando ..who are absolutely fed the hell up. Take our phones, go up our arses, in our ears - don't care what you do..... Bring us the 🤬 Stanley Cup! And that's what Babcock could likely do if the players are coachable But I agree that it likely won't happen because they don't want the lightning bolt in their locker room. I don't have a problem with what Babcock did. He could have done it better but he wasn't trying to meet their wives! He's trying to make his team better. It's certainly not my place to critique a triple gold coach. This is a unique situation that might call for a creative, blow your mind response! This is my version of "fantasy hockey"
I've come back to this video. I recall Quenville coming up during the search that found Jim Montgomery may be a lightening bolt between players, & for the media if it doesn't go well. So I figured his name has gone through the recycle bin Woodcroft? I don't see the logic is recently being fired for the same type of start to a season but I don't know the guy Gallant is interesting. Hungry for a cup. Looking at their recent bios , stats as coaches and player- I favor Galant I never took Quenneville seriously. We were still coming off the Mitch Miller stuff. And it confounded me that we wouldn't give that kid a second chance, although an older black judge out of the civil rights movement and a black sports agent wanted to give him a shot.... I didn't understand how B's would gamble on someone like Jim Montgomery with the issues he's had So giving second chances seems to be a funny situation for someone like Quenville on the Bruins Galant make sense. He couldn't get his cup with vegas, so we'll switch coaches to get ours! We need a French Canadian coach. I officially know nothing!
@bruinsdiehards The Hockey writers are suggesting that the Detroit Red wings might be looking at hiring Jim Montgomery. 🤔 Oh no! Hey, no wi-fi out here. need to rearrange data & devices. looking at USA's "Black Friday" deals I'll get over to Discord more within a couple weeks. Then I'll start trouble over there. Lol
@@bruinsdiehards wait.. I got the source wrong. It's "the hockey news" not "hockey writers"... they put out an article And when I just tried to bring it back up again, they've got another article talking about whether Montreal might pick up a coach like Jim Montgomery. So they're just milking the story. I'm suspicious that Jim Montgomery may have a coaching record beyond his true accomplishments. Not sure. Not looking to insult the guy but his record is pretty up there with elite coaches and I'm not sure whether he's earned it. I don't mean to spread rumors - I figured you would know where to file that. I know little to nothing about Red wings these days.
@@bruinsdiehards The prospect pool is last in the league because he traded away draft picks for players who can't protect the skills players and his free agent signings lack the drive it takes to win a Stanley Cup. His handling of the Swayman signing was a distraction that's having a hangover effect on the regular season. The team looks slow in transition and disorganized on scoring chances. The 2015 draft was a bust. The 2016 draft is aging and no players from the 2020 draft have played an NHL game.
Bruce Cassidy built a Stanley Cup contender. He was fired because they said he was too hard on the young players. So Cassidy goes to Vegas and wins the Stanley Cup. In the meantime, Montgomery couldn’t get to the Stanley Cup playoffs and win not in year one not in year two and it’s not gonna happen in year three. they were up three games to one against the cats and blew it in a game seven at home. Monty shuffled the lines constantly in the middle of the game. Sorry that is not going to work. And it is not working now. Put the lines together and let them play to get some consistency. Yelling at Marchand in front of, the world and benching pasta in front of the world is bullshit. These are grown men they know when they fuck up. You don’t have to make it a glaring bullshit ego coach asshole move…not starting Swayman first game of the season that was total garbage. The players are all saying the right things in front of the media, but I guarantee when they are out drinking a beer they are not happy with Monty. Fire him
Hey, Cassidy did DeBrusk dirty, a really low blow. That's what triggered the trade request in the first place. But that wasn't the only reason he was let go. His treatment of young players overall was a huge factor. Even Krejci had enough and wouldn't re-sign until Cassidy was gone. Cassidy is a hard ass task master. Great hockey mind and tactician. But his harsh treatment of players is what finally did him in. Sweeney wanted to keep him, Neely said no. The team leaders were asked and they agreed it was time for a change. Had Bergeron, Marchand and Pasta supported Cassidy he would have stayed. I know you are no fan of DeBrusk, but you gotta admit, the team could sure use him on the penalty kill right now. Say what you want, he was excellent on the PK.
What did he do exactly that was so dirty? Also Krejci was going to resign no matter what, that isn’t true that he wouldn’t. Krejci almost came back the previous season but they couldn’t move him through waivers. Two players complained about Cassidy and one was Debrusk. Neely never got along with Cassidy and got his way. Bruce got the last laugh with a cup. Pasta literary had Bruce at his wedding this summer. I happen to know what happened but it is what it is
@@bruinsdiehards It was more than two. If it were only two players complaining, with his fantastic record there's no way he get's let go. As for DeBrusk, let's just say there was an ill timed healthy scratch that was unexpected under the circumstances and very embarrassing. Ask Bruce if you get a chance, get his side. You are right, he did get the last laugh with the cup. But in my humble opinion, he was getting the cup either way because I firmly believe he would have taken that Bruins team all the way had he stayed. Monty made mistakes Cassidy wouldn't have.
@ I will agree there that Butch would have not been out coached like Monty was. Bruce never got out coached in Boston. Listen I’m going to stay out of this one with Butch because I have said too much to be honest.

@@afhostie yup

Yup
It's the players who need to be replaced, not the coach. Although it might help.
Ok who do you get rid of? How do you get rid of them? And who do you replace them with?
Can’t fire players
🤣🤣🤣
@soup31314 your response points to a GM issue, not a coahing issue.

8 MILLION!!!! I think he is safe right now. Best NHL season ever, and they are playing will second hand contracts except pasta.
I don’t think he is safe at all
Jay Leach will be the next coach. There is a reason Jay was brought back to Boston.
Sacco is the Associate coach so he automatically would be the coach and not Leach. If Montgomery was fired that is.
Not at home to watch the game by the play by play on nhl is pretty good.. and geeze bruins mcavoy in the box
They’re playing pace and finishing checks which is nice to see
@ yeah i see they are out shooting and leading 2-0! That is great to see. Maybe they woke up or it could be an other one off
3-0 great job it looks like, but shots dropped hard.. 21 shots in the first then total of what 30..
@ second period they got lucky because Philly hit the post three times otherwise they lose that game
I don't think this is a coaching issue.

I think whoever makes the coaching hire is not with the organization yet; but the Jacobs are in a really bad spot. Cam has been pretty awful in his role for a good number of years, but since so many Bruins still hold him in high regard from his time as a player, the backlash of firing might be very severe (even though letting him go is absolutely warranted).
1000% agree
That or cam can get on his knees and beg Bruce to comeback ........ Just a thought 🧐
Yeah Butch wouldn’t come back with Cam still here
@@bruinsdiehards very true He did Bruce dirty
@@joshuarodriguez9896 yes he did but Bruce got a cup so he did ok
@@bruinsdiehards yeah he did he's the only reason why I have somewhat respect for the knights
I think they need a coaching change
Why is that?
@bruinsdiehards well for one Marchand doesn't get along with him
@@richardzink6026 we don’t know that
Babcock. That might hep.
I doubt any team hires him
@@bruinsdiehardsyou wouldn't think any team might hire him.
But I firmly believe by their own interviews, that have gotten more intense, serious the last few years... there's some Bruins like marchand, Pasta McAvoy, Brando ..who are absolutely fed the hell up.
Take our phones, go up our arses, in our ears - don't care what you do..... Bring us the 🤬 Stanley Cup!
And that's what Babcock could likely do if the players are coachable
But I agree that it likely won't happen because they don't want the lightning bolt in their locker room.
I don't have a problem with what Babcock did. He could have done it better but he wasn't trying to meet their wives!
He's trying to make his team better. It's certainly not my place to critique a triple gold coach.
This is a unique situation that might call for a creative, blow your mind response!
This is my version of "fantasy hockey"
If he’s fired….?
…..he gets x number of paychecks for how long?
Where do I sign up for this kind of abuse?
If they fire him they still pay him until the end of the year what they owe him. Coaches contracts aren’t public
I've come back to this video. I recall Quenville coming up during the search that found Jim Montgomery
may be a lightening bolt between players, & for the media if it doesn't go well.
So I figured his name has gone through the recycle bin
Woodcroft? I don't see the logic is recently being fired for the same type of start to a season but I don't know the guy
Gallant is interesting.
Hungry for a cup.
Looking at their recent bios , stats as coaches and player-
I favor Galant
I never took Quenneville seriously. We were still coming off the Mitch Miller stuff.
And it confounded me that we wouldn't give that kid a second chance, although an older black judge out of the civil rights movement and a black sports agent wanted to give him a shot....
I didn't understand
how B's would gamble on someone like Jim Montgomery with the issues he's had
So giving second chances seems to be a funny situation for someone like Quenville on the Bruins
Galant make sense. He couldn't get his cup with vegas, so we'll switch coaches to get ours!
We need a French Canadian coach.
I officially know nothing!
Gallant I feel is a short fix as he doesn't last long places
@bruinsdiehards The Hockey writers are suggesting that the Detroit Red wings might be looking at hiring Jim Montgomery.
🤔
Oh no!
Hey, no wi-fi out here. need to rearrange data & devices. looking at USA's "Black Friday" deals
I'll get over to Discord more within a couple weeks.
Then I'll start trouble over there. Lol
@ has Lalonde (no relation) been fired yet?
@@bruinsdiehards wait.. I got the source wrong. It's "the hockey news" not "hockey writers"... they put out an article
And when I just tried to bring it back up again, they've got another article talking about whether Montreal might pick up a coach like Jim Montgomery.
So they're just milking the story.
I'm suspicious that Jim Montgomery may have a coaching record beyond his true accomplishments.
Not sure. Not looking to insult the guy but his record is pretty up there with elite coaches and I'm not sure whether he's earned it.
I don't mean to spread rumors - I figured you would know where to file that.
I know little to nothing about Red wings these days.
@ the hockey news is using Google Trends to decide the article
Woody can keep walking
Yeah he was on the list because of rumours but I’m not a fan of
The Bruins suck because of Don Sweeney, not Jim Montgomery. Fire Sweeney now!
What does he suck at?
@@bruinsdiehards The prospect pool is last in the league because he traded away draft picks for players who can't protect the skills players and his free agent signings lack the drive it takes to win a Stanley Cup. His handling of the Swayman signing was a distraction that's having a hangover effect on the regular season. The team looks slow in transition and disorganized on scoring chances. The 2015 draft was a bust. The 2016 draft is aging and no players from the 2020 draft have played an NHL game.
Hire Marc Savard
He is in Toronto
Hot take, I actually really like monty
I also enjoy coaches who think that changing lines every other shift is a strategy
You like what you like
Bruce Cassidy built a Stanley Cup contender. He was fired because they said he was too hard on the young players. So Cassidy goes to Vegas and wins the Stanley Cup. In the meantime, Montgomery couldn’t get to the Stanley Cup playoffs and win not in year one not in year two and it’s not gonna happen in year three. they were up three games to one against the cats and blew it in a game seven at home. Monty shuffled the lines constantly in the middle of the game. Sorry that is not going to work. And it is not working now. Put the lines together and let them play to get some consistency. Yelling at Marchand in front of, the world and benching pasta in front of the world is bullshit. These are grown men they know when they fuck up. You don’t have to make it a glaring bullshit ego coach asshole move…not starting Swayman first game of the season that was total garbage. The players are all saying the right things in front of the media, but I guarantee when they are out drinking a beer they are not happy with Monty. Fire him
You could be right
MOnty needs a drink
Or a big fatty to open up his mind on some new ideas
Yeah I don’t think so
No reason to go low like that.
@@grantyoung5920 agreed
Hey, Cassidy did DeBrusk dirty, a really low blow. That's what triggered the trade request in the first place. But that wasn't the only reason he was let go. His treatment of young players overall was a huge factor. Even Krejci had enough and wouldn't re-sign until Cassidy was gone. Cassidy is a hard ass task master. Great hockey mind and tactician. But his harsh treatment of players is what finally did him in. Sweeney wanted to keep him, Neely said no. The team leaders were asked and they agreed it was time for a change. Had Bergeron, Marchand and Pasta supported Cassidy he would have stayed.
I know you are no fan of DeBrusk, but you gotta admit, the team could sure use him on the penalty kill right now. Say what you want, he was excellent on the PK.
What did he do exactly that was so dirty? Also Krejci was going to resign no matter what, that isn’t true that he wouldn’t. Krejci almost came back the previous season but they couldn’t move him through waivers. Two players complained about Cassidy and one was Debrusk. Neely never got along with Cassidy and got his way. Bruce got the last laugh with a cup. Pasta literary had Bruce at his wedding this summer. I happen to know what happened but it is what it is
@@bruinsdiehards It was more than two. If it were only two players complaining, with his fantastic record there's no way he get's let go. As for DeBrusk, let's just say there was an ill timed healthy scratch that was unexpected under the circumstances and very embarrassing. Ask Bruce if you get a chance, get his side.
You are right, he did get the last laugh with the cup. But in my humble opinion, he was getting the cup either way because I firmly believe he would have taken that Bruins team all the way had he stayed. Monty made mistakes Cassidy wouldn't have.
@ I will agree there that Butch would have not been out coached like Monty was. Bruce never got out coached in Boston. Listen I’m going to stay out of this one with Butch because I have said too much to be honest.
@@bruinsdiehards Fair enough. I didn't want to get in the weeds either. Let's just agree we both like Bruce and that he's an excellent coach. :)
@ agreed
