Jim Montgomery talks abiout joining St. Louis Blues (Source: Imagn)
Jim Montgomery is back as head coach of the St. Louis Blues after being fired by the Boston Bruins earlier in November. Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong moved quickly, calling Montgomery shortly after his dismissal.
Armstrong explained why the Blues needed him, outlined his vision, and offered a five-year contract. Montgomery accepted the opportunity without hesitation.
“When you get a phone call and you hear Doug Armstrong’s plan and how you’re a big part of it, that makes you feel it is the right place to go,” Montgomery said per Seattletimes.com, “The best line that put his hooks into me is, ‘When something delicious falls on my plate, I eat.’ I don’t know. I guess I was a T-bone that day.”
