FILE – Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery looks on from the bench with centers John Beecher and Patrick Brown during the first period of an NHL hockey game against the Dallas Stars, Nov. 14, 2024, in Dallas. Drew Bannister is out as coach of the St. Louis Blues after less than a full calendar year on the job. Jim Montgomery is back behind the bench of an NHL team five days
“This was more of an opportunity to get someone of Jim’s caliber than anything else,” Armstrong said on a video call with reporters. “When I talked to Drew today I told him this was more of a decision based on the availability of someone I think is a top NHL coach, someone that we have experience with, someone I really do believe can coach this team and also coach the team when it reaches its ultimate level of competitiveness.”The Blues lost 13 of their first 22 games this season.
“He’s got a wealth of experience, and he’s at really the prime of his coaching career,” Armstrong said. “He’s the full package, or at least we hope he’s the full package.” “A coach that I believe is a difference-maker became available, and we reacted to it,” Armstrong said. “We have a top-level NHL coach, and now it’s time for all of us to do our jobs and support him.”Nikola Jokic welcomes newborn son, returns to Nuggets' lineup for NBA Cup gameCHSAA state football playoffs: How the quarterfinals in Class 5A, 4A and 3A played outNo. 7 Fairview shocks No.
