poetica Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 And the quote of the day goes to.... Quote Alain Vigneault has fired back at Claude Julien after the Boston Bruins coach accused New York Rangers netminder Henrik Lundqvist of embellishing during the Bruins' 4-3 win over the Rangers on Friday afternoon. During the third period of the game, Lundqvist took a knee from Brad Marchand with Julien asserting that the Swede had done "some acting" on the play. “The referees are there to protect goaltenders, and they should," Julien said. "But goaltenders shouldn’t take advantage of referees. You may think it’s a good play for his team to get a power play, but we’re all trying to get that out of our game. If my guys do that, I’m going to address it. I’m not hypocritical about that. We’re trying to improve the game here.” Vingneault spoke ahead of the Rangers' afternoon encounter with the Philadelphia Flyers at Madison Square Garden and responded. “I mean it’s a little disappointing," Vigneault told The New York Daily News about the comment. "Obviously everybody saw the knee to the head. The comments on Hank were very inappropriate. The way Hank conducts himself, on the ice, away from the rink, off the ice, the example that he sets. Who would you rather have as a son, Henrik (Lundqvist) or Brad Marchand? For him to say things like that about Hank, totally wrong, and probably Claude is getting a little older and needs to check his eyesight.” The two teams next meet on January 11 at MSG. http://www.tsn.ca/vigneault-fires-back-at-julien-1.401175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Julien is such a hypocrite. LOL at Lundqvist vs Marchand as a son. Only Marchand's mom would say Marchand, just like Bolland's mom would look at and like Bolland's face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdatb Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Apparently AV said Henrik Sedin instead of Henrik Lundqvist too, which makes this even funnier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Julien lashing out kind of reminds me of Tootoo lashing out. Are these people back east just not getting the hugs they wanted or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Lundkvist pulled a Luongo there. The head snaps back, then returns THEN Henrik collapses like he's been shot. Classic embellishment. Serious question: how many diving penalties has Marchand had in his career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
