Jim Montgomery: “You can’t win every game 2-1” | Bruins vs Panthers G6 Postgame

Jim uh appear to be in control of the game in the second period you had multiple grade A’s when they didn’t go did you sense frustration at all um I didn’t sense frustration um but the lack of our ability to score in the playoffs in general um you know you can’t win every game 2-1 you know Jimmy just coach to to further expand on that um what did you think like what’s the main reason you guys couldn’t execute and get those goals when you need them um well we had the opportunities right I think we had five odd man rushes after two periods tonight so and then game four we had several we had three breakaways I mean that’s you know comes down to you know their goalie was good and we didn’t beat them I mean at times you know um played too much in our in our end in the uh second and third period tonight Dan Jim just what what did you say to the to the guys after this and thoughts on that in the series yeah um you know I I told them that um I thanked them and it was an honor to coach them because of the hard work and the competitiveness that they brought throughout the year um you know so that was uh the biggest thing I wanted to get across and that you know um you never have happy when you you don’t win your last game of the year and some players had tremendous growth this year and they can be proud of that and in the end we have to find ways to get better and win our last game of the year Chris coach when you look at the reason you didn’t have success this year you pointed to to goal scoring in this series is that the biggest reason you didn’t have success in the series um well I would say in the series yeah we we didn’t finish I mean I don’t know outside of game one I don’t think did we score more than two goals I mean I’m you know my head’s all spinning right now so I don’t know you know I think we had three and we didn’t score more okay there you go um but it’s not the only thing you know like there’s several other elements of the series um you know the territorial ozone time that they had over us it has compounding effects and um I thought we started to came off great and it got away from us in a second Jim I know it’s kind of fresh but looking back at the series is there anything you wish that you would have coached up differently or looked at differently um it’s too early to think about all that you know there’ll be more availability um in a couple of days and I’ll have you know probably more intelligent answers for you than going off of my vapid brain right now Tara um if you wouldn’t mind maybe just a a closing thought on Jeremy and you know how he emerged for you and and did you think Brad gave you a lift by returning last night we just you know yeah um Jeremy Swan was terrific I mean um night in Night Out gave us an opportunity to win every night making Sensational saves um his competitiveness you know was something that our players and I thought our team and our bench fed off of um Brad Mar coming back was a huge lift I mean that Ovation at the beginning of the game was um says it all and then I think he played really well he competed he came up with a lot of pucks he had a lot of opportunities Jim if you could just fill out that thought a little bit on the how that compounds when uh they’ve got the territorial edged they’re getting the greater number of shot attempts is is it a mental fatigue or is it is a physical fatigue in your own end it’s probably a combination of both but I mean it you know you I think you see it I thought our defenseman iced pucks unnecessarily tonight and I think that happens from that the fatigue that you’re talking mentally and physically uh Jim did you think it was going to be your night when zaka broke through and scored that goal and how much a lift did that give you at the time when when he finally busted through and scored one yeah I I thought it was going to be our night before the game um I just thought our players were loose and confident they went out and played that way um you know uh I thought that we started the game off really well I thought the the power play took a little momentum then they pushed for five minutes then I thought the last five minutes including the zacha goal we were really good and in the second period I thought they pushed and we didn’t push back hard enough in the second and we did have those odd man rushes that if we push the lead like we had the brazzo chance you had the coy chance you had the basically two-on-one two on0 slash with marshan and um and pasta you know some of those you know we need to bury to push the lead so that you have a little bit of a cushion thank you coach
