It's hilarious that the team with the most divers in the league is coming out with these remarks.
 
Bruins coach Claude Julien rips Canadiens for embellishment, ‘embarrassing’ the NHL

For the video impaired, here’s what Julien said about the Canadiens and embellishment:

“The frustrating part is that you end with 17 minutes in the penalty box when we should have been on the power play. It’s as simple as that.

"It’s frustrating because tonight, as everybody saw, there’s a lot of embellishment. This is embarrassing for our game, the embellishing. And right now they’ve got over 100 power plays so far and it’s pretty obvious why. We’re trying to clean that out of our game, and its got to be done soon.

“It’s not about tonight; it’s about the game and the embellishment embarrasses our game. We need to be better than that. It’s pretty obvious when P.K. [Subban] gets hit and throws himself into the glass and holds his head.

"You know what? If we start calling those penalties for embellishment, maybe teams stop doing it. But until we take charge of that, it’s going to be an issue.â€

From Joe Haggerty, some context on the Subban reference:

Julien was referencing a play in the third period when Shawn Thornton checked Subban in the corner, and then Subban held his head down while looking around the referees immediately after making contact with the boards. It wasn’t quite as obvious as the Nestea plunge he performed last season while lobbying for a penalty call, but it was obviously just as infuriating for the Bruins coach.

Montreal leads the NHL with 100 power-play chances this season, and was third with 301 last season.

This isn’t the first time the Bruins have lobbed diving accusations at the Canadiens. Please recall in 2011 when Brad Marchand said of Montreal, “They like to get in and shoot their mouths off, and then when you hit them they dive down easy.†(Yes, that Brad Marchand.)

Of course, it could just be that the Habs are a tenacious group that earns its power-play time; or it could be that they’re a collection of scurrilous divers that are embarrassing the NHL.

Whatever they are, they’re on top of the Eastern Conference, and beat Julien's team on Sunday. Hence, the rant.

lol.

This is the best one imo, Jon Stewart absolutely unloading on the Bruins.



I really regret cheering for the Bruins in the Finals that year. I was really the only one on here openly rooting for them and supporting a Leetch Bruins avatar during the finals. With how their team has transpired since, I wish Vancouver won.

You'll get through this, Blackhawkswincup.
 
I like posting in active Around The League threads so I hope you guys don't mind me stopping by. I'd like to get an Eastern opinion on the Habs, I feel like there massively getting overrated I know they beat you guys soundly a couple times but I think when they get back down to earth, you guys would crush them in a 7 game series. Do you guys think they'll come back down to earth?

I cannot imagine the Habs are for real and built for playoff hockey right now. Are Galchenyuk, Gallagher and Diaz going to be ready to play NHL playoff level hockey? Maybe the shorter season is good for them? Either way, I think they fade.
