Don Cherry comments on Bruins firing Jim Montgomery (Source: Imagn)
Don Cherry reacted to the Boston Bruins firing head coach Jim Montgomery, saying the move was surprising. Cherry mentioned visible frustration within the team and pointed to Montgomery’s benching of Brad Marchand as an example. He also speculated that Montgomery might have had issues with GM Don Sweeney.
Discussing Jim Montgomery's firing on the Grapevine Podcast, Cherry said:
“You could just tell that the Bruins weren't happy. And when you have Pastrnak and Marchand, two good guys, and he (Montgomery) pushed Marchand on the bench. They (Bruins) never signed (Montgomery to an extension). You think they'd want to keep him, but you know what? He probably had trouble with General Manager Sweeney.”
