Frustrated Jim Montgomery calls out superstar David Pastrnak

Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery publicly criticized superstar David Pastrnak after the Bruins Game 6 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Despite the Bruins facing a 3-1 series lead for the second consecutive season, Pastrnak's performance came under scrutiny.

Montgomery emphasized the need for the team's top players, including Pastrnak, to deliver in crucial moments. He acknowledged Marchand's efforts but singled out Pastrnak for not meeting expectations.

Pastrnak's playoff performance, with only two goals and two assists in six games, fell short of his regular-season dominance. Montgomery called for Pastrnak to rediscover his dominant form consistently, highlighting his inconsistent contributions.

With Game 7 scheduled at TD Garden on Saturday, Montgomery's comments underscore the pressure on Pastrnak and the Bruins to perform at their best.
