Bruins fire coach Julien
Print Edition
CLAUDE Julien was fired on Tuesday as coach of the National Hockey League’s Boston Bruins after nearly 10 years in the job, including a Stanley Cup championship campaign in 2011.
Julien had been the NHL’s longest-serving coach and was the Bruins’ all-time leader in coaching victories with 419, but not even memories of Boston’s first NHL crown in 39 years were enough to save him. The Bruins rank ninth in the Eastern Conference with 58 points from 55 games, just outside the last playoff position with 27 games remaining and having missed the playoffs in the past two seasons. Assistant coach Bruce Cassidy will replace Julien on an interim basis. Julien, 56, became the fourth NHL coach fired this season and the second in the past week after the St Louis Blues canned fellow veteran Ken Hitchcock. The New York Islanders fired Jack Capuano last month and the Florida Panthers cut ties in November with Gerard Gallant.
