Brad Marchand defends Jim Montgomery after coach’s outburst against him on bench

Bruins coach Jim Montgomery caught plenty of flak over the weekend after cameras caught him ripping into team captain Brad Marchand on the bench.

During the third period of Saturday’s 2-1 overtime loss to the Utah Hockey Club, Marchand committed a costly turnover high in the offensive zone with two Utah skaters draped over him.

Utah went down the ice and scored following the turnover, tying the game up at 1-1 at the time.

Utah’s goal was eventually overturned following an offside review, but Marchand’s infraction still drew a fiery response from his head coach on the bench.
