COMMENTARY
Both Cam Neely and Don Sweeney didn’t mince words on Tuesday evening.
In what stood as the third press release issued under their watch announcing the firing of a head coach, Boston’s president and general manager offered up the expected well wishes to Jim Montgomery — relieved of his duties amid a disheartening 8-9-3 start this fall.
But Boston’s top brass immediately turned to the present and the challenge that awaits Joe Sacco as he tries to buoy a sinking ship.
“Our team’s inconsistency and performance in the first 20 games of the 2024-25 season has been concerning and below how the Bruins want to reward our fans,” Sweeney acknowledged.
