Coach Jim Montgomery loses his cool at Bruins Brad Marchand after he made a horrible play

Brad Marchand had to face some major heat from his coach Jim Montgomery after the Bruins captain caused a very bad turnover that led to Utah scoring.

This summer was a little more difficult for Brad Marchand after the Bruins were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs by the Florida Panthers. He said frustration hasn't changed with another early elimination, so he took some time off this summer to recharge. It wasn't smooth sailing on the road to recovery. There were multiple surgeries, including elbow, groin, and abdominal procedures, to make sure that he would be ready for the 2024-25 NHL season. The determination shone through in the leadership as he vowed to return to top form to support his team.

But once the new season got underway, Marchand proved he still had plenty to give. Through the Bruins' first six games, he recorded four points, helping his team to a respectable 3-2-1 start. He was leading on the ice, as always, though not without his signature missteps. Last night, against the Utah Hockey Club, one came at the worst moment.

Early in the second half of the game, Marchand fumbled the puck at Utah's blue line and turned it over. In turn, Utah immediately scored a goal and flipped the momentum their way. Pressure immediately rose as Marchand headed to the bench to a visibly frustrated head coach Jim Montgomery. Known to hold a high standard for himself, Montgomery did not hesitate to give Marchand an earful as he flicked him on the shoulder to keep his star players aware of that fact.

Fortunately for Marchand and the Bruins, the goal was overturned upon review for offside. But that did little to quell their coach's frustration as mistakes by a key player are never easy to pass over. Even with the goal being overturned, the morale damage was clear, and Boston was never able to recover. Utah HC won it 2-1, with Marchand managing an assist on Boston's lone goal of the night.

The Bruins will look to rebound from this loss in the next game against the Nashville Predators. As would be expected, fierce competitor Brad Marchand will no doubt be ready to clean up his game. With a possible contract renewal in the cards with Boston this upcoming summer, every game, and every decision on the ice, will count.
