Montgomery makes a controversial lineup change and breaks up the fourth line ahead of game vs Dallas Stars
Jim Montgomery has made a controversial lineup change as he finally broke up their best line before their game against the Dallas Stars tonight
Boston Bruins head coach is officially hitting the panic button, and has made a questionable move with the Bruins best line.
Just the other day Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery stated he was not going to break up the Bruins fourth line, instead he stated that he may give them more playing time since they have been the Bruins best line 7 games into the season.
«I'm keeping the line together,» he said. «Maybe I just got to start playing them like 16 minutes a night instead of 12 like I have.»
Well it looks like that was a lie from the head coach, and it looks like he is officially in panic mode. This morning during the Bruins morning rushes it was revealed that Montgomery is breaking up the Bruins fourth line so Justin Brazeau can slot back into the lineup.
Cole koepke is being placed on the third line with Charlie Coyle, and Trent Frederic, while Brazeau is being placed with Johnny Beecher, and Mark Kastelic.
