00:00I'll give Jim Montgomery, and you be sure to let me know if he got any new scuttlebutt you're hearing on his future

00:06Let me check it out. I can't imagine he's doing that much better even despite two wins over the weekend

00:10He's not doing worse. I mean that's that you're starting to turn it around well two wins

00:15No, you're not giving him credit for two wins. He's benching the superstar player, so I don't know how much better

00:18He's doing but they want so I mean you bench the superstar player because you feel like you needed to sure

00:23But they like they were giving up a goal, but they were already winning with him

00:26It was like it's not like it's not like they were down a goalie benched him in the team lit up

00:29I mean they just held on to win to nothing, but they stay hell on right there up to nothing

00:33They say he sits him down because he didn't like to turn over trying to protect the lead didn't like how he was playing got

00:38A little loose with the puck as it were I just I wouldn't use that as like a big response and like we're gonna go

00:43Win one for Monty they held on to nothing

00:46It's not like they got all fired up and won the game at least in my estimation

00:48I don't know, but when they so the report comes out or the scoop comes out that he's on the super hot seat

00:55Yeah, then Jacob Jacobs is a Jacobs is rattled awake at Buffalo and paying attention to what's going on

01:00Which is rare, but they basically laid down and died against Carolina like oh my god like this is over

01:04I was even there then they canceled practice the next day

01:06So I must that must be it and since then they've won back-to-back games

01:11They've shut out both opponents, and you're like all right

01:13Maybe this is something now

01:14I think just the more games you play the more sort of data will have on like how this turnaround really is going

01:20I mean, they're six six and one and this is a team that normally comes out of the gates a house of fire under my

01:27They don't lose their sixth game until like Christmas

01:29They're like they're usually insane in the regular season so that hasn't happened, but you know tonight in Toronto. I think is a pretty

01:37Big game like like what is it? What does it look like I don't think they're gonna like win out after those reports

01:42But like how do they play how does posture not specifically respond add it to the list of big things going on today?

01:47It's maybe the biggest it's

01:49NFL trade deadline we already did to your Tuesday. We got our D'Angelo subs, which are you done yours yet?

01:54You might I started late. I have a bite left. I couldn't

01:58Started a little late in the break. I still have one bite remaining

02:00I I actually haven't cracked mine yet, but I'm very much looking forward to it

02:03I had some waiver claims to get in um and then we have Tommy Tuesday at high noon coming up a lot going on

02:09But you're right Bruins and Leafs tonight huge game like how does yeah?

02:12How does posture not specifically respond well and again?

02:15How does the team respond like they they held on in that game?

02:17So you say he can't be doing much worse because they won two games I get that

02:20He's also now like you know in some ways that war with the star player who said the right thing

02:26He did just like Brad Marchand

02:28And this is to Monty's credit Brad Marchand said the right thing after Montgomery shoved him and Brad Marchand for everyone to see was tuning

02:34Him out now. He's benching posture knock and passes like yep had a bad turnover

02:38I'm not gonna be a distraction to the team etc etc etc

02:42It still feels like a team that has checked out on their head coach, and we'll see tonight. They always beat the Leafs, right?

02:49But yeah, they beat him once already this year and so let's see that'll be a good indication

02:53I do give Monty credit though for it. I feel like he's going down swinging. Yes

02:57I think he's going down, but he's going down swinging which I also give him credit very well could be going down

03:02But he says you know one way so the guy he replaced

03:06Basically lost his job because the players didn't like him, and they thought he was mean and so

03:11Whether Cam Neal and Don Sweeney just saw that from the outside or spoke to the players themselves like that's how that last coach got canned

03:18Yep, so if Montgomery wants to save his job outside of wins wins is the most important thing it would be

03:24Hopefully these guys may go to bat for me, so if camera Don says to Marchand and posture knock like hey

03:29We might get rid of Jim

03:31You're hoping that they're like no no don't do that

03:33But if you shove one of them and then bench the other one like you know you're like

03:37I don't care what they say like I'm gonna

03:38I'm gonna go down if they want to have a meeting with them if they want to try to get me fired so be it

03:41But I'm gonna do what I think is the best we know he's gonna jumble his lines all the time

03:46That's something that he's that he's always kind of done, but as far as like yanking playing time away from star star player

03:53That's a little bit different and usually a coach on the hot seat might not might buy a pamper

03:57I like whatever you want

03:58I look the other way when he turns it over

04:00But he's at least trying to make some moves and see if that you know changes the results I give him credit for that

04:06I mean look if

04:07They respond to this they they rip off a bunch of wins

04:11Then we'll circle this and Montgomery's right. I have zero problem with him benching David posture by the way

04:17Zero problem with it bad turnover you can bench the star player for a period that's fine

04:20Yeah, I just I don't think it's gonna work out well for Montgomery, but I have no problem with it

04:25Let's see you start alienating these star players. They get you out. They did it with Bruce Cassidy. They did it with Claude

04:30They'll do it with this guy, so I don't think it's gonna end well for Montgomery

04:33But I do give him credit for going down swinging Keefe. I'm with you on that and

04:37Let's see how they respond tonight against Toronto because typically it's a team they beat in their sleep playoffs regular season doesn't matter

04:44It's hardly the way it goes

04:45It's it's tough because they've played more games than some of the other teams, but right now as of this second

04:51I know it's insanely early

04:52But just for the sake of where money is like they went from last place or tied for last place in the division

04:58They've won two games in a row. They're currently a wild-card team and

05:01That's six six and one like that's not a great start

05:04I'm not saying hey look at you

05:05But look if they play a little bit better from here on out

05:08They should be back where they where we expect them to be which is the playoffs?

05:11This is still a coach that the organization doesn't believe in they didn't give a contract so they don't believe it

05:15You can say what you want you can listen to their words, or you can pay attention to their actions

05:19They don't believe in him as an organization Jacobs family cam Don Sweeney. They don't believe in him the players

05:25Just tuned him out in Carolina. He called the whole team out. He shuffled

05:29Respond so they've happened to win two games in a row. I think it's prolonging the inevitable

05:33Maybe the Bruins were just waiting for a very very busy Tuesday the NFL trade deadline to bury the news

05:38Yeah madness, but I don't think it's gonna end well for him so you can stay tuned for that meanwhile a big shout-out to
