Throughout the season, Carlo’s game improved tremendously. He appeared to play with more confidence as the season progressed. Carlo benefited greatly from the coaching change and a more positive environment. Montgomery’s presence allowed Carlo to play more confidently, contributing more offensively and creating more chances.
In my opinion, Carlo is one of the players who benefitted the most from the coaching change. Last season, Carlo was still a valuable shutdown defenseman for the Bruins but did not play with the same confidence and consistency as he did this year. It’s no secret Bruce Cassidy’s critical coaching style grew old in the Bruins locker room.
