It’s time to breakup the Neely/Sweeney friendship…a new coach won’t change how this team is built, mediocre hockey will continue until Sweeney goes. Overpaid and aging players…good to hear you guys speak the truth
This has been a huge issue for years. You need good young players to help with the salary cap. The Bruins roster has neither. They have an aversion to fast skilled players.
Boston needs to start a new. Upgrade the program. They haven't really replaced Bergeron, Krejci and Chara. Until they do that they won't really compete long-term.
The roster is old and doesn't have it anymore. I like Swayman, but its obvious him holding out has affected his performance. It needs a rebuild and some hard decisions, probably Marchand or McAvoy.
Cam and Don are the problem. I hope the Jacobs realize this soon. Long term and overpaid contracts are hurting this team . I think another problem with this organization is they wont let it go that Bergeron and Krecji are not here.
Revisionist history, the past 2 years the bruins have been considered an elite team, this year the have fallen off a cliff, Sweeney brought in 2 high end free agents and this is what we got? I understand the coach is always the first sacrifice but watching the play of this team, I ask where is the team's pride? How many times can a player miss the net completely when he has a prime scoring opportunity or why has it suddenly become impossible for them to complete a clearing pass or a pass in general , changing the coach might provide a spark but this team needs a enferno to improve.
It can't hurt. It's going to be hard to make a mid-season "hockey trade" as Felger likes to say. The reality is you have too many overpaid players. Guys who have had one good year are being paid for the next 4. I know that's the nature of contracts...but you can't do that for *everyone* and not expect it to catch up to you. Swayman, Coyle, Lindholm (both), Zadorov...even Pastrnak and McAvoy. They jumped the gun throwing money at too many career mediocre guys, and guys who still had to "prove it". Idk if I see a way out of this without ripping the whole thing down to its roots...and that does start with the coach.
So suddenly Monty is a bad coach ? Watching this team play is painful. Their power play is predictable. Short handed they are awful. Last year they were very good. What does that tell you ? Look at the players who aren’t here now ? DeBrusk,Heinen, Shattenkirk, Ullmark. This debacle is on the current team. Management won’t do anything beyond firing Monty. They ought to fire a few players.
Well he did inherit a stacked team and openly admitted he let the players run the show. Last year they didn't play good , couldn't win a faceoff getting outshot most nights, if it wasn't for them having 2 great goalies they wouldn't have made the playoffs.
Of COURSE it won't. Monty isn't the guy puck-watching while an open attacker is all alone in the slot. He's not the guy passing the puck to nobody except the other team. He's not the one making mental errors that you wouldn't expect to see from a decent college player. But when a team of professional athletes (at least on paper) is playing so consistently terribly, something has to change. Speaking as a fan since the Bobby Orr days, the changes need to take place in the front office as well. Sweeney has put together a roster that is simply not good enough to compete at the NHL level. Of course, you don't replace a Bergeron or Kreicji, but still, more talent on the ice, and better decisions off the ice, are needed.
If you're going to bury Sweeney, bury him for his inability to identify top line talent. Krecji came back. I think Bergeron (the athlete) wanted to stay and suit up. Chara retired a year after being released by the Bruins. It's up to the next generation now--Pastrnak, McAvoy, Swayman to be the leaders this team needs.
They pay 8.25 million for a goalie with a .825 save percentage. Could have kept Ullmark and got a top 6 foward. That kids greedy shit attitude spread through the roster like a wild fire.
It started with Pasta getting his extension. The Bruins couldn't keep that philosophy of players taking less money for the greater good of the team forever. It was a good run with the Chara and Bergy led teams. Teams now have to pay their top talent top dollar.
First and foremost The B’s never should’ve traded Ullmark. They need to stop with the constant passing in the offensive zone especially on the power play. Were getting penalized frequently and once to often with to many men on the ice. our PK is shitty.
There terrible defense is week. Mcavoy overrated decent on offense noooo defense at all always out of position gives up on off the defense doesn’t have s clue everybody out of position.
Sweeney/Neeley need to be booted. The signings and trading of draft picks over the past several years have been awfully disappointing. Should have not traded Ullmark till Swayman was signed. The non signing of Swayman during the summer and Neeleys dig on him.
Coaches are hired to be fired. Something was going on behind the bench. Montgomery is a good coach but he can't fix what is going on in the locker room.
Trade pasta and Mac and make this a true rebuild..don't half ass it like always. Get some picks back and stock the shelves and find a GM that knows how to draft
Just another scapegoat for Sweeney and Neely. Those 2 are the problem, they need to go. About 2 years ago. Monty didn't sign the 2 players to massive overpays of $84 million between the 2. 1 sits in the box all night and the other cant produce a damn thing other than winning a faceoff. Cassidy should have never been fired, Monty teaches a fast paced skilled method of hockey.. and Sweeney and Neely gave him the complete opposite of a roster... big slow and lacking skill with the hands.
How about the GM-he put the talent on this roster. Talk about BB drafting-the GM record is poorer than BB. Wasted so many high draft picks, with little or no results.
Firing the coach won't help...but also firing the coach will help but then again firing the coach won't help. Boys. Pick a standpoint and explain it and stand behind it. I can bullshit with my buddies at a bar like this all night...and get beer served to me while we do it. Come on.
Every time the bruins crap themselves they fire the coach. Its time for new owners and new front office. The teams a hundred years old they should have at least 10 to 18 cups. Whats next another 35 years for another cup?
If they have a high draft pick, do you have confidence that they can pick the right player. I don't. GM must have pictures on owner. Or owner does not want to pay two GM's salaries. Pathetic.
Firing coach won't helpSweeney and Neeley have chosen a bunch of offensively challenged 3rd and 4th line forwards....slugs, poor skaters, slow, poor passers. The NHL speed and finesse has passed them by.
Get rid of Sweeney. His botching the ullmark trade/Swayman deal an and the 2015 draft are among his awful moves, not to mention signing linholm etc. We don't need him being in charge of trading away a guy like marchy at the deadline nor do we want him drafting high in the 1st round

Swayman may not BE the problem, but is a pretty strong symptom of it: paying a backup goalie 8.25M AAV is nuts.
"aging roster" how clueless is this panel? They're the 12th youngest team and only have 2 core players over 30 (Coyle/Marchand)
Cam and Don are the problem. I hope the Jacobs realize this soon. Long term and overpaid contracts are hurting this team . I think another problem with this organization is they wont let it go that Bergeron and Krecji are not here.

Sweeney has to go he destroyed this team by getting rid of all the leaders and good locker room guys. I know he’s cams buddy but he has to go
Sweeney has destroyed the team for the next 10 years.
If you're going to bury Sweeney, bury him for his inability to identify top line talent.
Krecji came back. I think Bergeron (the athlete) wanted to stay and suit up. Chara retired a year after being released by the Bruins.
It's up to the next generation now--Pastrnak, McAvoy, Swayman to be the leaders this team needs.
Firing Monty and Keeping Sweeney is like shitting your pants and changing your shirt!
tell the guy on the left to visit the salad bar
They pay 8.25 million for a goalie with a .825 save percentage. Could have kept Ullmark and got a top 6 foward. That kids greedy shit attitude spread through the roster like a wild fire.
Yup I agree swayman a bad virus on this team in the locker room & on the ice 🧊
We did get a top six forward and both getting the same money and both have been shit
It started with Pasta getting his extension. The Bruins couldn't keep that philosophy of players taking less money for the greater good of the team forever. It was a good run with the Chara and Bergy led teams. Teams now have to pay their top talent top dollar.
Oh my heart is breaking! NOT!
The Bruins will be bad for years to come! HURRAY!!!!!!
My Penguins are in a similar situation. At least the Penguins are still playing for Mike Sullivan.
Get rid of both lindholms, whatever it takes. One cannot stay healthy, and one does not score goals or win faceoffs
Not even a Boston fan but this was a quick trigger. Its not the coaches fault that forward group scares NO ONE... Even with Pasta
First and foremost The B’s never should’ve traded Ullmark. They need to stop with the constant passing in the offensive zone especially on the power play. Were getting penalized frequently and once to often with to many men on the ice. our PK is shitty.
Never neeley or sweeneys fault.
If it doesn’t turn around, or they don’t have playoff success this season Sweeney will be canned
@@billmacdonald2139 That's why I call them the Blame Brothers
Whose the guy in the middle with the big pumpkin head?
Scott Zolak. Used to be a second or third string QB for the Pats.
Bring back Bruce Shoebottom for defense!
Columbus BLEW away the Bruins. Maybe, the Bruins BLOW!!!!!!!
Firing the coach already happened. Now it must be on Sweeney to save his job.
Don’t poke the bear…Well the bear got poked!
Record numbers 65/12/5 2022 to a firing 2024. The door always remains close in the NHL.
There terrible defense is week. Mcavoy overrated decent on offense noooo defense at all always out of position gives up on off the defense doesn’t have s clue everybody out of position.
Sweeney/Neeley need to be booted. The signings and trading of draft picks over the past several years have been awfully disappointing. Should have not traded Ullmark till Swayman was signed. The non signing of Swayman during the summer and Neeleys dig on him.
And then throwing the kid under the bus and telling lies to boot..
Well, this video didn't age too well. Turns out firing Monty DID fix their issues!
Fire Sweeney and Neely! Been thinking it and saying it for years.
Coaches are hired to be fired. Something was going on behind the bench. Montgomery is a good coach but he can't fix what is going on in the locker room.
Boston needs to build out the program. Replace Bergeron and others that have retired. Another Top 2 and a Top 6 center will make them competitive.
I’m telling you, trading Pasta or Marchand would be a massive mistake. The others….. yeah you can ditch them.
Anybody is available to be gone at this point to many free loaders
Trade pasta and Mac and make this a true rebuild..don't half ass it like always.
Get some picks back and stock the shelves and find a GM that knows how to draft
Just another scapegoat for Sweeney and Neely. Those 2 are the problem, they need to go. About 2 years ago.

Well. Now we find out. Joe Sacco is the new coach.
It's gonna be a long season.hope they just make playoffs.and see what happens
How about the GM-he put the talent on this roster. Talk about BB drafting-the GM record is poorer than BB. Wasted so many high draft picks, with little or no results.
Firing the coach won't help...but also firing the coach will help but then again firing the coach won't help.

Jim Montgomery Fired 🐻 Breaking News…
Monty is not the problem, Time will expose all
Wasn't it 5-1 guys?
Put merkulov with Pastrnak for god sake!
They suck
If they have a high draft pick, do you have confidence that they can pick the right player. I don't. GM must have pictures on owner. Or owner does not want to pay two GM's salaries. Pathetic.
Firing coach won't helpSweeney and Neeley have chosen a bunch of offensively challenged 3rd and 4th line forwards....slugs, poor skaters, slow, poor passers. The NHL speed and finesse has passed them by.
Shoulda' been Sweeney.
He's been setting up this fail for years.
Jim will be fine...great coach.
Whatever. Go Bruins.
Get rid of Sweeney. His botching the ullmark trade/Swayman deal an and the 2015 draft are among his awful moves, not to mention signing linholm etc.
We don't need him being in charge of trading away a guy like marchy at the deadline nor do we want him drafting high in the 1st round
Bruins are too good to be this bad. I think the players will wake them up and they will be back to dominating this year.
Yes it will help. Montgomery sucks
Yes it will!
