SUNRISE, Fla. — Jim Montgomery didn’t mince words on Monday night.
The Bruins skated off the ice at Amerant Bank Arena with a convincing 5-1 win over the Panthers, but such a lopsided score didn’t tell the full story.
“I thought our effort was good. I thought we were physical,” Montgomery acknowledged. “I don’t think our execution was close to where it needs to be. … We made a lot of mistakes, and if it’s not for Jeremy Swayman, that would have been a lot closer game and maybe they come out on top.”
The good news?
