Jim Montgomery's physical altercation with Brad Marchand may lead to his firing
Jim Montgomery and Brad Marchand aren't two names you'd expect to be in the same sentence, regarding conflict and the Bruins themselves.
Usually, the Captain is not one who we have to cover often for controversy unless you mention controversy between Marchand and another NHL player.
His antics aside, a poor performance against Utah led to Jim Montgomery getting in Brad Marchand's face and chewing him out during the game.
Video was caught where Marchand caught hell from the Bruins coach who's in his third year coaching the team.
When he ended up making physical contact with Marchand, should cause your internal red flags to rise. Violating the Captain's personal autonomy to get a point across is a bit extreme right?
Elliotte Friedman expands upon the matter:
Despite it only being a minor nudge between Montgomery and Marchand, could this have serious fallout for Montgomery down the road?
One has to wonder if Jeremy Jacobs and GM Don Sweeney are already contemplating the time Montgomery has left with this core.
It's obvious the Bruins have started off badly this year, with a 3-2-1 record, and the Coach who led them to a President's Trophy may not be a fit anymore. Has he lost the room?
We could speculate the origin of the conflict between the two all day, but for now, it remains a fluid situation.
Is the honeymoon over?
