Jim Montgomery's firing from the Boston Bruins last year just took an unexpected turn after he publicly spoke out about it.
The 2024-25 season was not ideal for the Boston Bruins, and it ultimately ended up playing a part in the Boston Bruins firing head coach Jim Montgomery.
A lot of players did not play up to their potential, with Jeremy Swayman being the biggest player.
Swayman ended up signing a massive contract with the Boston Bruins, but did not live up to expectations.
After signing a $66 million contract, Jeremy Swayman had one of the worst seasons of his career.
It ended up leading to a bunch of trade speculation this off-season, but it seems like the Boston Bruins have regained their faith in him leading into the new season.
But because of his terrible year, it did not help in the fact that the Boston Bruins ended up firing Jim Montgomery.
Recently, Jim Montgomery has spoken out on what could have been the cause for him being fired from the Boston Bruins.

Not long ago, Montgomery ended up appearing on the Empty Netters podcast, where he spoke out on what went wrong, ultimately leading to his firing.
He went on to speak about how the culture during the 2024-25 season was not the same, and it played a big role in him being fired.
Culture is something you have to work on daily, and i saw that in 2023. I can't say i saw that in 2024.
I should've put more emphasis on making sure the culture was maintained.
