Jim Montgomery Reveals Massive Plans With The Bruins Goalies
Discussing the Bruins' postseason strategy, Coach Montgomery recently addressed the goaltender rotation during a phone appearance on 98.5 The Sport Hub's Toucher & Hardy Show.
When asked about maintaining the rotation, Montgomery acknowledged the importance of learning from past mistakes, specifically referring to the previous season's playoff series against the Florida Panthers.

Reflecting on this error, Montgomery emphasized the need to evaluate past experiences and learn from them.
While the playoffs are still on the horizon, Montgomery is firm in his decision to stick with the goaltender rotation.
The main news, Montgomery's commitment to the rotation and the lessons learned from the previous playoff misstep, is strategically placed at the end, building anticipation and emphasizing the importance of this strategic choice for the upcoming postseason.
