00:00You got a little scoopage on the Bruins?

00:03Hashtag ScoopsKeith?

00:04Yeah, that's right.

00:05And we were talking about it yesterday a little bit, and you were kind of like asking me anything

00:09on Marchand.

00:10Yeah, you got anything on that Marchand extension?

00:11No.

00:12I don't.

00:13I have nothing on Marchand.

00:14So that's not the scoop.

00:15That's not the scoop.

00:16Okay.

00:17Here's the scoop.

00:18And you were sniffing around this.

00:19Credit to you and your sniffer for sniffing around this, because I was like, I don't know

00:20about this.

00:21But yours is all clogged up with that mustache over there.

00:22I can't smell a thing.

00:23That's your thing.

00:24Yeah.

00:25Except for this awful mustache.

00:26I was kind of on this, and then after the show, I got word that this is legitimate.

00:31Jim Montgomery is on the hot seat.

00:34The hot seat.

00:36If things don't get turned around, I think he's done.

00:40I think they need to turn it around.

00:42He'll be the first casualty, I guess, of a really slow start.

00:48It sounds like the top of the front office is very, very frustrated with how the first

00:5310 games of the season have gone.

00:56And somebody needs to be held accountable for that.

00:58And now I don't know what turning it around means.

01:02I don't know if that means win five in a row or win four out of five or whatever.

01:08But it sounds like if things don't get better, Jim Montgomery is going to be the one that

01:11pays for it.

01:12Okay.

01:13So Jim Montgomery.

01:14Hot.

01:15The seat is hot.

01:16It's the hottest seat going.

01:17And it's getting hotter.

01:18Let me ask a few questions.

01:19Yeah, please.

01:20Do you have any understanding on a timeline?

01:21Are we talking like days, weeks, months?

01:24What are we talking about?

01:25No, I don't know.

01:26But a month seems long.

01:27And this is not me reading between the lines, but I just feel like there is a sense of urgency.

01:31So I would say that.

01:32And it's been communicated to Montgomery?

01:34Yeah, I believe he's very aware of the hotness of his hot seat.

01:37Correct.

01:38And you say it goes to the highest.

01:39Yeah.

01:40Top down.

01:41The top level of the front office is what I think you said.

01:44Even top.

01:45Even above that.

01:46I think the tippity top.

01:47The top of this thing is where the the anger started from.

01:50So the owner's not happy with the start.

01:53And Jim Montgomery.

01:54Interesting.

01:55So the hottest of hot seats.

01:56Piping hot.

01:57For Jim Montgomery.

01:58Turn it around.

01:59Yep.

02:00Or else.

02:01Oh boy.

02:02Okay.

02:03It's like the center of the sun right now.

02:04That hot seat.

02:05Hashtag scoops, Keith.

02:06Yeah.

02:07With some info here on your Boston broods.

02:08Do you think it goes okay for them tonight against Carolina?

02:09It's always a good matchup for them.

02:11Just in time to take on the Carolina Hurricanes.

02:14Yeah.

02:15No, I mean, looking ahead.

02:17So it's Carolina, Philly, who you just got shut out to zip, then Seattle, Toronto, Calgary.

02:22So that's kind of a stress of five game stretch.

02:26I would think they would have to, I mean, my guess now, what do you need points in three

02:31or four of those games?

02:32Probably.

02:33Maybe wins.

02:34No, no, no.

02:35You're speculating.

02:36But okay.

02:37You're you're the one who has the information that the seat is hot.

02:38Now you're saying pick turn around.

02:39You're basically playing 500 hockey right now.

02:42I know that that term isn't because of the overtime wins on it's a little bit different,

02:46but that if that's not good enough, if you keep that trend going, well, guess what?

02:50Still not good enough.

02:51I don't know how more time has gone by.

02:52Look, so Scoops Keefe has the info.

02:54So the seat is hot, but it does make sense.

02:56They're four, five and one.

02:57They're in last.

02:58But also look at how Montgomery has acted.

02:59Oh, well, that too.

03:00That feels like a hot seat guy.

03:01Oh, for sure.

03:02So what he's doing with his lines, you mean, and things like this, shoving Brad Montgomery,

03:06the Brad Marcian, Brad Marcian the other night.

03:09So here were his lines the other day at practice.

03:11We talked about the jumbled lines yesterday.

03:13Beecher, Zaka, Pasternak, Marcian, Lindholm, Kastelig, Jones, Coyle, Kepke, Frederick,

03:18Patra, Brazzo.

03:20So it's like he shuffled the whole thing.

03:22He's moving around the one line that was working, the fourth line, and mixing it in on all the

03:26other lines.

03:28That is reflective of a coach who's feeling the pressure, grasping at it a little bit,

03:32freaking out on his captain a few weekends ago, is representative of that.

03:36And just knowing what we know about the Jacobs family.

03:38They want to make the postseason.

03:40They want a postseason gate.

03:41The Bruins are in last place.

03:43They're four, five and one.

03:44They're not trending towards making the postseason.

03:46If you don't turn it around, you're going to pay for it with this job.

03:49All of that checks out.

03:50So that's the latest from Hashtag Scoops Keith on the Bruins and Jim Montgomery's future

03:54in Boston.

03:55Seats.

03:56Magma.

03:57Hot route, by the way.

03:58Andrew Raycroft's going to move to 1240.

04:01So he's not going to join us next.

04:02Yeah, we just got that into the news desk.

04:04So he will join us this hour, but not next.

04:07This is what we've been relayed.

04:09News going on with the Bruins.

04:10Situation is fluid.

04:11He's got to react to some news.

04:12Maybe he's interviewing for the head coaching job.

04:14Okay.

04:15We didn't have a caller yesterday suggest they should move on.

04:19We did have a caller saying that.

04:20Okay.
