Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery takes no accountability and calls out the Bruins after another loss

Following a tough 5-2 loss to the Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery didn't hold back in assessing his team's performance. Addressing the media postgame, Montgomery voiced concerns about his players' mindset, particularly their apparent dip in confidence.

This marks Boston's third loss in five games, and Montgomery sees a need for a mental reset among his players if they want to bounce back.

«It's quite significant,» Montgomery said, referring to the team's current lack of confidence. «Our attitudes need to go in a better, healthier direction.» Montgomery's words suggest that beyond the on-ice tactics, the Bruins are struggling with self-belief, which could be affecting their gameplay.

Montgomery's frustration is understandable, as the Bruins' season started strong but has recently been marked by inconsistency. Key players like Brad Marchand were held off the scoresheet, while the defensive structure, typically a strength for Boston, showed cracks against a well-organized Stars team. «It's about getting back to basics,» Montgomery emphasized. He hinted at the need for a mental and emotional shift among his players, suggesting that they might be letting negative moments linger instead of shaking them off.

It's clear that the Bruins are going through a rough time right now, and many are wondering if Montgomery is the right person for the job or if he has officially lost his word in the locker room.
