Montgomery humiliates Keefe by using the right tactics with Matthews and Marner
During the NHL All-Star Game, Maple Leafs fans got the great opportunity to watch their favourite Leafs players alongside other top NHLers compete in a 3-on-3 tournement.
Behind the bench of Matthews' team, alongside Justin Bieber, was Jim Montgomery, the coach of the Boston Bruins.
Montgomery Makes Major Decision Concerning Matthews and Marner During All-Star Game
After the first game, the Matthews-Marner line had a -3 rating, and the coach decided to split them up for the second game.
As it turned out, it was the good decision to make. Team Matthews won the second game and the tournament, with Marner and Matthews on separate lines.
Montgomery Humiliates Keefe By Using Matthews and Marner the Right Way
Montgomery figured it out in a few minutes. Sheldon Keefe, the Maple Leafs' head coach, should take notes.
A fan pointed out on X that Keefe has been struggling with this for five years.
While Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner do have some complicity and had some success in the regular season, it hasn't always been great for them on the ice.
Sheldon Keefe insisted to keep them together for a long time and it hasn't paid off.
The fact that another coach stepped in, saw what the problem was, changed his lines and ended up winning could be showing that Keefe isn't the best candidate for the job.
