Veteran defenseman Zdeno Chara and coach Claude Julien have celebrated some of the proudest moments in Boston Bruins history and for the time being remain with the club as it experiences a sudden and surprising fall.
Their days in Boston could be numbered if they can't help lead a quick turnaround.
The Bruins look to avoid dropping their first four games for the first time in 51 years when they visit the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night.
It was only a little over two years ago that Boston came within two victories of its second Stanley Cup in three seasons after Chara became the club's first captain to raise the trophy in 39 years in 2011.
The Bruins missed the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons in 2014-15, though, leading to the firing of general manager Peter Chiarelli and Don Sweeney being named as his replacement. Julien survived the change, but he's still squarely on the hot seat with Boston on the verge of starting 0-4 for the first time since 1964-65.
