| 0:00.0 | Oh, right, of course, because I should know who that is. |
| 0:05.2 | I don't care what you think. |
| 0:06.8 | I'll tell you something that rubbed me right. |
| 0:08.3 | Felder and Mass on 985, the Sports Hub. |
| 0:12.0 | Let me just ask you this. |
| 0:13.2 | I mean, they lose last night to Columbus. |
| 0:15.4 | This story has been brewing for like three weeks, seemingly, that Montgomery was going to be out. |
| 0:20.8 | Why did this take almost the whole day to be announced in your mind? Is there anything you can tell us just in term of the timing? Yeah, I think for the Bruins and it's something that's been reported is that I don't think Don Sweney and Kim nearly like he wanted to get to this point. I think the onus, as you look at this team and just how many players have underperformed across the board, I think this was kind of the last resort of where they were looking at with this team.

| 1:25.7 | Just to get you back into the lead story of the day, the Bruins have fired head coach |
| 1:29.3 | Jim Montgomery, Joe Sacco, former head coach of the Colorado Avalanche, BU alum, coach |
| 1:35.2 | Colorado over a decade ago, and actually was the coach that, well, I think got fired |
| 1:41.6 | halfway through the earth, if I'm not mistaken, but they bottomed |
| 1:44.1 | out under Sacco, drafted Nathan McKinnon, and then went on the way back up. So he was the coach |
