Jd83 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Claude Julien is a perfect fit this team. I would be thrilled to see him behind the bench. He knows what it takes to win and it would cool to see his system here with all the talent we have. I mentioned this before and got censored, probably gunna happen again. But would like to hear what your thoughts are if you get them in, in time. Lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jd83 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Yeah, most recently. Before that he was with the bruins. He was there when they beat us for the cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He relied heavily on strong defensive defenseman and a commitment to team defense to drive offense. Most of his teams were not amazing offensively, they simply won a lot of close games. Not that there is anything wrong with winning close games, but I'm not so sure that style fits a roster that doesn't exactly have many defensive defensemen to speak of. Over his time with Boston, his special teams were only slightly above average and he had more dependable 2 way forwards at the time than Vancouver currently. Also, something about his firing from NJ just always makes me question his style. Everyone may not agree with Lou's management tactics but the bottom line is he wins and for him to fire Julien a week before playoffs when the team is in second in the conference, seems like there's more too it.

qwijibo Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Julien is a dinosaur. He doesn’t trust his young players and relegates them to roles they’re not suited to play. I doubt you’ll find a Montreal fan that was sad to see him relieved of his duties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Although I could see Benning choose Julien to be his coach cause of their history, I would way rather us get Bylsma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BureBurrito Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Are we really that lazy simply to bring in a Boston castoff? It was alleged the Montreal players tuned him right out just before he was canned and plays an extremely boring system (which is why they fired him in their season replacing him with Ducharme). NO. NO. no. Edited November 16, 2021 by BureBurrito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know much about Julien, except that he was the winning coach for the Boston Vancouver series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Open to him as long as he's learned from his previous experience and doesn't bring in a culture where being a gutless flopper is encouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the most faith in Bylsma in terms of getting his team to perform in the playoffs. However, I am really curious and intrigued with what Boudreau would do with Hughes. He turned Green into one of the best offensive defensemen in recent memory. How much would he get out of Hughes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
