Bruins Head Coach Comments on Team's First Taste of Adversity
The Boston Bruins have finally slowed down after an absolutely ridiculous start to the 2022-23 season. After breaking the NHL's record for fastest team to 80 points, the Bruins are on a three-game losing streak heading into the All-Star break.
Finally facing some adversity, head coach Jim Montgomery had some choice words for his team.
"You look at adversity as an opportunity to grow and get better," Montgomery said, as seen on NESN's postgame coverage. "Once we come out of this, we're going to be a better group. We're going to be more resilient and we're going to be a little bit tougher."
On the Bruins' 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday night, Montgomery declared that the Hurricanes simply outclassed his team.
"I think (our) problem was the Carolina Hurricanes," Montgomery said. "I thought they checked us right out of the rink. Give them credit. They competed hard, they really checked well and they caused a lot of turnovers that led to odd-man rushes. Two of their goals they got because of turnovers."
Even still, the Bruins hold a 9-point lead on the top spot on the NHL's leaderboards, with the aforementioned Hurricanes nipping at their heels. The Presidents' Trophy carries a famous curse into playoffs, but that doesn't mean the Bruins are going to give it up easily.
