NHL fans were quick to react to a report on Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery by the Athletic's Fluto Shinzawa. Shinzawa posted on X (formerly Twitter) that Montgomery had lost his temper during a practice session."Jim Montgomery is using lots of bad language so far in practice."One fan commented:"Oh no he might hurt Debrusk’s feelings."Another fan remarked:"Wow. An NHL head coach using potty words at professional hockey players after a pathetic loss? Horrible coach, so mean."One fan injected a bit of humor into the situation, quipping:"Gosh darn it guys flippin get it together you poop heads."Another fan suggested:"Wow that means he’s trying to get a message through."St. Louis Blues' 5-1 win over the Boston BruinsThe St. Louis Blues triumphed 5-1 over the Boston Bruins on Monday, with Kasperi Kapanen and Robert Thomas scoring early goals.Goalie Joel Hofer's 36 saves anchored the win."This is a big win for our club," Hofer said (h/t ABC News). "That's obviously a good team over there. Hopefully we can keep this going, going home."Kapanen expressed relief at his goal.“Finally, that's what I thought," Kapanen said. "Finally caught a lucky break. Just happy it went in.”Kevin Hayes, Brandon Saad, and Alexey Toropchenko contributed to the Blues' victory, ending a three-game losing streak. David Pastrnak scored for Boston, but could not prevent their two-game winning streak from ending.Pavel Zacha of Boston recognized the need for improvement.“It was one of those games where we had a lot of chances, too, but it just wasn't good enough,” Zacha said. “We have to start playing these games from the beginning. ... I think it was a slow start. I think everyone saw that.”St. Louis capitalized on scoring first, maintaining a lead throughout the game. Bruins captain Brad Marchand acknowledged the team's slow start.“We had a tough start,” Marchand said. “This time of year teams come out playing for a lot, and we need to do the same.”Blues' Pavel Buchnevich played his 500th game and Marchand just needs one more goal to take his NHL tally to 400.
