I think it is because he has seen first hand how well pulling the goalie seems to work for other teams (against the Blues), and he figures it is bound to work for us at some point too.
Just got back from a three week trip to Europe. This Nashville game was the first I've had a chance to watch live.
I've always thought Montgomery had a long runway, and perhaps he still does, but this sure feels like the same BS we've seen to start the last two or three seasons. I kinda feel like Monty might find his ass on the hot seat if we still look this bad by Dec/Jan.
Yeah, losing this soundly to Nashville is pretty rough. I don’t think there’s much to it but to just suck it up and see what we have by the new year or, more likely, the trade deadline. See if the team actually gels. Still lots of young players and new guys. Gotta hope they just start to figure something out.
But yeesh without a functioning top line we are a mess. I guess that’s true of any team though.
