The Bruins have had a successful few years under head coach Jim Montgomery but the majority of their success has come during the season whereas in the playoffs they have struggled.
Montgomery led the Bruins to a 1st place historic season last year in which they got bounced by the Panthers in the first round and then loss in the second round to the Panthers this year again.
Bruins head coach is heading into the final year of his deal and their is a good chance if he cannot get it done next season to at least help them get deep in the playoffs he will not be renewed.
While the season is important and he has proving to get the best out of his players then, his track record is far from pretty in the playoffs.
