Jim Montgomery still bullish on the Bruins

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:13:19 GMT

The type of defeat the Bruins absorbed last spring is not the kind you just “get over.” You win a record 65 games and then get bounced in the first round of the playoffs, and it’s going to stick with you for a very long time.But life goes on, the page must be turned and those in charge must plan and strategize for the new season ahead. As summer winds down, coach Jim Montgomery was getting into that mode last week. He’s spending less time on the golf course, more time in his headquarters at Warrior Ice Arena trying to figure out a way to get his team back in playoff position so that his B’s can attempt a a do-over next April.That’s not a given. In his second year behind the B’s bench, the Jack Adams Award-winning Montgomery won’t have the likes of Patrice Bergeron and Nick Foligno to lean on to guide the dressing room. Also out the door were top-six talents David Krejci, Taylor Hall and Tyler Bertuzzi.While there is still talent here, this promise...
