The Bruins fire Jim Montgomery, Joe Sacco set as interim Coach

Well, if you think the Coach was the problem, you got what you wanted.

The Bruins announced today at 4:19pm that they have relieved Head Coach Jim Montgomery of his job, effective immediately. This has come off of a deeply disappointing start to the season, in which the Bruins are 8-9-3, are on a three game losing streak, have one of the worst goal differentials in the Atlantic Division, and have of course, lost 5-1 in an absolute drubbing by the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Assistant Coach Joe Sacco will take on the job as interim.

Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, November 19, that the team has relieved Jim Montgomery of his duties as Head Coach.
