Offering credit where due, the Boston Bruins are saying all of the right things after playing poorly enough to help cost their head coach his job. Not to absolve the 2023 Jack Adams winner of all responsibility, but if the B's were playing to their collective capability, Jim Montgomery wouldn't be fine-tuning his resume right now. That the club's 8-9-3 record isn't poorer with its blazingly bad -21 goal differential even feels fortunate.
But again, full credit to several key individuals -- including David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, and Charlie McAvoy -- for absorbing responsibility and fully admitting they're letting everyone down.
