BEDFORD — Most of the questions directed toward Jim Montgomery, Jeremy Swayman, Charlie Coyle, and the rest of the Bruins on Sunday night followed a similar script.
With the Bruins pushed to the brink of elimination in a game where Sam Bennett’s controversial equalizing goal was upheld — despite cross-checking Coyle into Swayman — it came as little surprise that officiating dominated the postgame inquiries from the press.
Such a steady stream of questions regarding the calls on the ice and the interpretation of the NHL rulebook didn’t sit well with Bruins general manager Don Sweeney.
