Earlier in the day, Jim Montgomery made just one change by inserting John Beecher into the lineup. The Boston Bruins' coach cited for this change was :
"that Beecher is going in for Lauko stating the recent faceoff struggles as a reason.
No other changes outside of that."
That being said, Jim Montgomery decided to play John Beecher on the wing in the game against the Avalanche.
This change sparked anger among some fans who did not understand this move by the coach.
"We are struggling with faceoffs and Beecher is great at it, moves him to wing."
"Are they really gonna play Beecher on the wing so a career 36% faceoff guy can play center?
Beecher is a center. Boqvist is a wing.#NHLBruins"
Jim Montgomery often makes puzzling decisions, leaving fans scratching their heads. Despite this, under his guidance, the Bruins remain a dominant force in the league. His unconventional strategies, though initially perplexing, have proven effective, solidifying the team's status as a top contender and showcasing Montgomery's unique approach to the game.
