00:00Yeah, we have more firings in the sports landscape today.
00:09We'll go to hockey, though, for this one.
00:11The Boston Bruins, who have obviously been sputtering 8, 9, and 3 so far this year, buried
00:18down in the middle of the Atlantic, and they have fired their head coach, Jim Montgomery,
00:23chopped.
00:24I guess losing 5-1 at home to Columbus last night was the tipping point for Jim, which
00:29is very tough to do, to lose to Columbus, especially to get blown out by them.
00:32Montgomery out, Scotty, in Boston.
00:34See you later.
00:35You know, it's funny.
00:36I was leaving the Penguin game the other night, right?
00:39And some guy had clearly at least 15 beers, and he was yelling about Sullivan, that he
00:47needs to go, because the Penguins obviously don't look good, and they're not going to
00:53be any better, or they're not going to, like, get better with this team.
00:57They just don't have talent.
00:59And I said to the guy, he said they got to fire Sullivan.
01:03I said, why would they do that?
01:06He's won two Stanley Cups, and he is literally coaching a talentless team.
01:12They have four guys with any talent whatsoever, maybe five.
01:17I'd give you Rust, and I'd give you Carlson, and then I'd give you the big three, Letang,
01:22Malkin, and Crosby.
01:24That's it.
01:25They have no other talent.
01:26None.
01:28They're just sick of talent.
01:29And I am not blaming Sullivan for anything.
01:31I'll tell you another thing.
01:33I would bet my life that the Boston Bruins would want him.
01:37I would bet my life that half the teams or more in the league would want him.
01:41So it's not easy to find Stanley Cup-winning head coaches.
01:45It's just not easy to do.
01:46Do you remember when the Islanders fired Barry Trotz?
01:49Like he was the best coach they ever had.
01:52I remember.
01:53Besides, excuse me, Al Arbor.
01:54I'm not stupid.
01:56The best coach since Al Arbor was Barry Trotz.
01:59And they were going to the Stanley Cup Finals every year with Barry Trotz.
