What Bruins players said about Jim Montgomery’s firing, Boston’s sluggish start

Brad Marchand has skated in a black-and-gold sweater for 16 seasons now.

Over that stretch, he’s seen three head coaches — all with Jack Adams Awards on their mantle — handed their pink slips.

The Bruins captain might be the elder statesman of the team. But several key cogs in Boston’s room are no strangers to coaching upheaval.

In total, there are still seven players who were present when Bruce Cassidy was given the boot in the summer of 2022. Both Brandon Carlo and David Pastrnak were also with Marchand in February 2017 when the team parted ways with Claude Julien.
