Winning It In Motown

Red Wings Rumblings Montgomery Available? The Boston Bruins have officially moved on from head coach Jim Montgomery after a slow start. Of course, the Wings are among the teams who could benefit from a coaching change. As I pointed out in my opinion column yesterday, this is a unique opportunity for Steve Yzerman to go against his ways of making coaching decisions in the … [Read more...] about Quick Hits: The Decision Edition
