00:00NHL coaches get fired all the time and it's certainly not always their fault while the team is struggling

00:05But it's like the one move that the GM president or whatever can kind of do to spark the team

00:11Do you think the way things are going that Montgomery could survive a losing streak like let's say they rip off three

00:18They've only lost one now

00:20But I'm just saying like the way things are going right now the team is below 500 if they drop to three in a row

00:25Do you think he's gonna survive that?

00:28So I

00:30Do yes, I do

00:32Now and that's you know again. We did that we did the hypothetical last week

00:37After the 8-2 drumming and it all say you know they could easily lose in Philly they could lose against Seattle

00:43They could lose in it. So it's it's tough for me to do that

00:45It's just not like the the way I think about the game and how it works

00:49I it I guess the big thing right and the reason why we're talking about is the contract right if there were if he had

00:56If there were if he had a year left on his contract next year would we be at calling for a firing would we like?

01:02That's kind of the way I'm picturing this like okay

01:06Let's take all the business out of it

01:07Would we be saying would I would you be asking me if you're gonna fire Jim Montgomery who's had two of the best seasons?

01:14regular seasons

01:15In in Bruins history the last two years and and lost to the Stanley Cup finalists and the Stanley Cup

01:21Winner in the playoffs the last two years. Will you be calling for his head this early in the season?

01:27I don't think so. I mean, I might be razor, but I can't speak to everybody else

01:30No, but but yeah

01:31I think for office but I saw something going back to last year as great as his regular seasons have been I think if he

01:36Doesn't get out of the first round last year. He loses his job

01:39Like I think it came down to that that game to take over the second round

01:43Of course, but you know, I've got a lot of sayings of but if this had this and that would be my uncle

01:50But we can't do that right like blue

01:53Well, yeah, so it again. I don't see it. I just don't see it. It's still early in the season

01:59He's got some time to build this group. It's not ideal to be under 500. We've talked to you. You have to sort things out

02:06I'm not saying everything's perfect. I just think that you have to give a guy who's coming in

02:11I guess that's it. You know, you could do that game, too

02:13I don't know who's a better hire if we actually wanted to go down that road
