00:00And in fact, Montgomery got fired today in Boston.

00:07And remember, he was the coach in Dallas and they let him go because he had an alcohol

00:12problem.

00:13Right.

00:14So but he didn't get let go of this because of Boston.

00:16They just they weren't winning enough, which we can get into that tonight, which I find

00:20pretty crazy.

00:21He just fired a coach who was like 715.

00:23That's his winning percentage with the Boston Bruins.

00:26Wow.

00:27This guy's won like 70 percent of the games that he's 71 percent of the games that he's

00:33coached in.

00:34And you just fired him, like after three years or whatever, because a little bit of a 500

00:39type of start.

00:40But clearly, they felt that he lost the room and that he was losing a room.

00:45And if you recall, actually going back to last year in the playoffs, you you could tell

00:51like there's sort of a code in the NHL, like as soon as you start publicly ripping your

00:55players, if you're a coach, you're done.

00:58You can get away with it.

00:59And like the NFL, if you're like your Andy Reid or something, and, you know, coaches

01:04don't normally do it.

01:06But remember, Montgomery started to sort of call people out like publicly a lot.

01:10Right.

01:11You know, just the effort, this and that.

01:14And once you do that, it's hard, you know, it's hard to get the guys back in the room.

01:18So Montgomery's out.
