This is why the Boston Bruins franchise is despicable. It always was, and it always will be. Claude Julien lost ALL of the respect I had for him. And he's from my neck of the woods (no pun intended). He SHOULD have asked his players to PLAY hockey instead of seeking revenge after last game's fiasco. Instead, he let a puke-rookie spew some garbage in the media (but he's of the right color, so it doesn't count, right?), he let the tension grow (because he believes his team feeds on being bullies), and look at what happens. It would have been VERY easy to say to Chara before the game: 'listen, bud, I know you've got this thing for the young Pacioretty, but drop it. It's of no use. Concentrate on hockey.' I've done it MANY times with hockey players. He didn't, evidently so by his reaction after the game and Chara's reaction DURING the game.
He's partly responsible for that fiasco now. Just like Crawford was when the Bertuzzi incident happened.
Claude, you're a disgrace to the team you once coached.
