SHOCKING NEWS: St. Louis Blues Head Coach Jim Montgomery Makes Shocking Decision That Hurts His Entire Team; Organization Reacts in Shock and Accepts His Resignation Boldly with Silence

St. Louis, MO — June 27, 2025

In a turn of events that has left fans stunned, players speechless, and sports analysts scrambling for answers, St. Louis Blues head coach Jim Montgomery has reportedly submitted his resignation after a baffling mid-season decision that insiders say “fractured the locker room and derailed team chemistry.”

 The Decision That Shook the Rink

Sources close to the team say the shocking decision came during a closed-door meeting, when Montgomery insisted on benching three key starters—including a team captain—for “not making eye contact during a film session.” The move backfired immediately: the Blues dropped five straight games, with internal morale plummeting faster than a puck in a glove save.

“This wasn’t strategy. It was sabotage,” said one anonymous player. “We thought it was a prank at first.”

 The Fallout

The Blues organization, already under pressure after an inconsistent season, was said to be “blindsided” by the sudden meltdown. After an emergency meeting early Friday morning, GM Doug Armstrong and team executives accepted Montgomery’s resignation without a press conference or official statement, fueling speculation and fan theories across social media.

The team’s only response?

“We thank Jim for his time with the Blues. We will not be taking questions at this time.”

 Fans React

Social media erupted within minutes:

• “I’m shook. How does a guy go from fixing Boston to blowing up St. Louis in six months?” – @BluesBlood87
• “This has to be a dream. Or a nightmare. Or both.” – @GoalieDad247
• “Montgomery benched the heart of the team and now he’s out. Good riddance.” – @IceColdTruth

 What Happens Now?

With Montgomery gone, assistant coach Craig MacTavish is expected to step in as interim head coach until a permanent replacement is named. The Blues are rumored to be eyeing former NHL coach Gerard Gallant and even considering luring Craig Berube back into the fold.

Despite the drama, insiders claim the locker room is “relieved” and ready to regroup.

“There’s still a season to play,” said veteran defenseman Colton Parayko. “We’ll bounce back. We always do.”

Stay tuned for more updates as the Blues try to skate past one of the most bizarre episodes in recent NHL history.
