$90,000,000 Boston Bruins star makes his thoughts on HC Jim Montgomery's coaching decisions extremely clear

David Pastrnak has made his views on head coach Jim Montgomery's decisions clear following the Boston Bruins' disappointing 8-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night at PNC Arena.

The Bruins have been struggling this season, particularly in finding their offensive rhythm. One contributing factor to the team's struggle has been the adjustments Montgomery has made to the offensive line.

In the game against the Hurricanes, the Bruins managed to register only 15 shots, a statistic that has raised concerns among fans about Montgomery's coaching decisions. However, Pastrnak defended his coach, emphasizing that he was simply trying to get the best of the team.

Pastrnak said after the game:

"Monty’s just trying to get us going. Personally, I have no problem with it. I can read off anybody. Right now, it’s not about the combinations. We are not good enough as a team and that’s where it starts.”

Looking ahead, Pastrnak is optimistic that the Bruins can turn their season around by focusing on their collective strengths:

“We’re going to get out of it together. That’s the only way,” he said. “We’re going to tighten up as a group together. Find a way to win games against the good teams."

David Pastrnak, who's currently inked to an eight-year, $90,000,000 contract, leads the Boston Bruins in scoring with ten points through six goals and four assists in 11 games this season.

Jim Montogomery reflects on Boston Bruins' 8-2 defeat

Only Brad Marchand and Hampus Lindholm found the net for the Boston Bruins in their recent 8-2 loss against the Hurricanes.

Bruins coach Jim Montgomery reflected on the defeat, acknowledging the need for improvement. He emphasized that the loss highlighted areas where the team needed to tighten up their play and strategies moving forward.

He said (via NHL.com):

"Their puck pressure gave us a lot of problems. The bottom line is, it doesn’t matter what facet of our game it was, it wasn’t good enough. Right now, nobody is happy with what’s going on. It starts by sticking together and working. There’s no substitute for second and third effort.”

The Boston Bruins currently sit at the bottom of the Atlantic Division with nine points and have a minus-13 goal differential. The club has managed to secure just one win in their last six games and will hope to end the skid when they travel to face the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Arena on Friday.

The puck drops at 1 p.m. ET.
