Shocking Reports Confirm That Jim Montgomery Wanted Out Of Boston Following Bruins Troubling Start
A shocking report from Elliotte Friedman confirmed that Jim Montgomery wanted out of Boston after their troubling start to the 2024-25 season.
Tuesday the Boston Bruins finally decided to make a change after a horrible start to the 2024-25 season.
The Boston Bruins announced that practice on Tuesday would be canceled, and we would later find out the reasoning behind it.
Later in the evening the Boston Bruins would announce that they fired head coach Jim Montgomery.
Since then there has been a lot of talks about Jim Montgomery and whether or not he was sure he wanted to stay with the Boston Bruins.
There was reports that the Boston Bruins had a contract extension in place for the head coach but he reportedly ended up turning it down.
Now insider Elliotte Friedman has revealed that the rumours regarding Montgomery possibly wanting out might have been true.
Friedman in his latest 32 Thoughts Podcast stated that we may never know the full story but there are people who think Montgomery was unsure about the Bruins before the Bruins were unsure about him.
Here is what Friedman had to say on the situation:
Jim Montgomery had an incredible record with the Boston Bruins during his time as head coach.
His record was 120-41-23 all-time with the organization, and even broke the record of most wins in a single season when the Bruins won 63 games in 2022.
Since Montgomery has been fired, there has been many rumours that he may join a rivals coaching staff.
We wish nothing but the best for Montgomery going forward.
