00:00coaching carousel has already spawned a little bit and we've seen this now in
00:05the NHL we've seen some teams make changes early in the year in November
00:10and and gone on runs Edmonton did it last year and and it got them very far I
00:15was a little puzzled with Boston just cuz Montgomery's record was so good with
00:20them I'll be in the regular season but it's never good Danny when you fire a
00:24coach and someone else hires him less than a week later someone thought that
00:29your move to fire that coach was so poor that they fire their own coach to
00:35make sure that they can hire him before anyone else can and st. Louis wasn't
00:38playing well in fact I would have fired Bannister too because he's the only guy
00:42this season who wasn't able to come back in the third period against the
00:46Islanders everyone else comes back the Blues couldn't do it on Saturday so they
00:51they whacked them out and they go and hire Montgomery immediately what was
00:54that all about? The Bruins helped set an NHL record that's the quickest a coach
00:59has been hired after being fired five days Carver five days the guy had a 715
01:05points percent his record in in Boston team isn't that good they have
01:08deficiencies on the wing Swayman got paid as not playing like Swayman because
01:13he doesn't have the security blanket of homework it's a mess but you know to
01:17rile up the team what do you do you're not gonna trade three or four guys at
01:20game 20 so you fire the coach it's standard operating practice in this
01:24league that you get to the 20 game mark that's why you're starting to hear
01:27trade rooms that's why I see coaches start getting fired you know what
01:30happens is you make an assessment of the team your scouts go out there look
01:33around and so now you're at the quarter mark of the season still making the
01:36changes yeah look Jim Montgomery will have success in st. Louis I'm not sure
01:39how much because the roster isn't great but that was a shocking stunning firing
01:44by the Bruins Joe Sacco has coached in this league before as their head coach
01:48but we'll see the juries out in the Boston Bruins and Carver I don't think
01:51we would have said this a game one but a game 22 we're talking about the
01:54Bruins might be not making the playoffs I was actually just because I always
01:58have the odds up whatever the hockey whenever I'm talking to you and I can't
02:03remember the last time in the last five to seven years that the Bruins were 30
02:09to one or longer to win the cup and right now the Bruins are 30 to 1 to win
02:14the Stanley Cup this is a team as you know Danny that's usually in that that
02:19top you know 10 to 12 teams that are on the odds board and to see them nosedive
02:24that much that is very telling to go and see that
