Management Claude Julien III - the final countdown?(ALL talk here)

[Camille the Eel]

Just recognize that you are advocating for a total tear down of the current edition of this team. If you're ready for two or three years of bottoming out to change to a run and gun style fine.

I'd really like to shake things up let's hire Patrick Roy as head coach. He was really doing well with Colorado til the ownership got involved in the decision making..

Well, this will be a third year of not making the playoffs, this rebuild could have been further along - but instead they are stuck in no mans land.

 

[World of Wardlow]

I was thinking, does Claude Julien make the final decisions on roster? I feel like his hands are tied and FO makes all those decisions. I could be wrong. Anyone know?

Like we don't already have that going on...

He has some input, but at the end of the day - he doesn't have final say.

Yes, imagine if he was bothered by the Avs situation how quickly his head would explode here- Cam, JJ, CJ, Sinden, Sweeney- the tanrum would be fast and furious I am thinking

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

I'm in favour of letting this coach go now or end of season. start fresh next season. This team is done. Take advantage of trade deadline deals. Retolll with Fresh everything. Coach team and management have already wasted this season

You trust the management who "has wasted this season" (your own words) to take advantage of trade deadline deals ?

There seems to be a missing link in the logic chain.

I mean, he's allowed to scratch Phil Kessel in favor of Jeremy Reich in a playoff series and play Alex Khokhlachev 2 minutes in a game. So that counts for something.

 

[Bruins1233]

For those who think that Claude is the only thing keeping this team from being Arizona, do you really think that Ottawa, Toronto, Philadelphia, St Louis, and Calgary are significantly better than the Bruins?
If you think they are about the same then you are admitting Claude adds nothing.

I see Neeley as a hot head who wants players who live up to his expectations of the type of player he was. Holding them up to that standard is difficult. The NHL has changed and he is a dinosaur in that regard. Great player but not very good as president.

My god, if neely is a dinosaur...clode is a one cell first sign of life ))))))

He had one good season when the goalie stood on his head. I don't want him anywhere near this team and can't understand why anyone would.

 

[since76]

Don't try understanding. It's like trying to understand a Jackson Pollock painting. Better to just observe the splatters.

Second level of art is not for everybody ))) ....eh gatieclode))))

 

[BlackFrancis]

Watching Greg Campbell go over the boards as a sixth skater was extremely irritating when the club was winning.

Seeing Riley Nash take a two minute overtime shift, when the team is in a death spiral, is just insane.

I wouldn't be opposed to the Bruins having a coach that didn't do those things.

 

[Blowfish]

Nash schaller and no morrow

 

[Pia8988]

What do two forwards have to do with a defenseman?

Exactly

 

[DitClapper]

Please get Riley Nash away from this man.

Julien didn't do that.
Maybe you should watch it again , and this time pay attention.
You might learn something.

Well his GM didn't need to make Nash the latest of his lousy UFA signings. Unless we are going to use the "Clode made him do it" excuse again.

I think Koko would take those 2 minutes a game now, his KHL coach doesn't even dress him.

Sweeney definitely put him over the boards for an OT shift. Gotcha.

If he played Moore I wouldn't have batted an eye. You know, who actually has skill.

 

[Mpasta]

Julien didn't do that.

Didn't do what? How long was Nash out there for overtime? It might not have been 2 minutes but it sure felt like it they way he played.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

I knew people would be all over Julien for the Nash shift in OT but I think it's forgivable. When they had possession he made some nice plays but once they gave up the puck he got stuck out there. It wasn't like Claude was telling him to take a 2 minute shift, they just got trapped out there with the long change. It's very hard to make a change in 3-on-3 if the other team decides to just hang on to the puck in the neutral zone like the Wings did.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

If Spooner gets an OT shift because of his offensive skill, I don't necessarily have a problem with Nash getting a quick OT shift because of his defensive skill. I don't even recall who he was out there against, which may have been relevant. He was out there for way too long but these things happen.
