TORONTO — Only one of the four coaches who earned the chance to participate in the NHL All-Star Game a year ago is back at the midseason event, and he’s also the only one who had to replace two of the best centers in franchise history.
Jim Montgomery won the Jack Adams Award last year after helping the Boston Bruins to an NHL-record 65 wins and 135 points in his first season with the club. The crazy thing is the former Denver University coach might be doing a better job in year two.
The Bruins were expected to take a significant step back without future Hall of Fame member Patrice Bergeron and longtime No.
