As per Pierre McQuire, Coach and GM are always present at exit interview and it likely doesn't mean anything, not unusual for a coach that will be fired.

I honestly am not sure what side of the fence I sit on Claude.
Yes, Mgmt did not give him the best players.
But for those that defend him, how can you explain these end of season collapses for two years in a row ? I cannot believe that
the team played over their heads for 70 games and then showed
their true colors the last 12. Something isn't right there.
And the last two games. How do they come out like world beaters
vs Det, then two days later act like they don't care.
In either of these two cases it is not management. It is either
Claude, the players, or both. The inconsistency this year was mystifying, just look at the winter classic. Again, this isn't on
management. So what do you do ?

The team went through several winning and losing streak over the two seasons, teams do every season. Calling it a choke is interesting when we look at it all re: sample sizes. Over the grand course of a season with this team it wasn't all that unexpected. Many of us saw something similar coming even around the trade deadline, with the schedule much tougher towards the end.
If the defense were even average the Bruins could probably ride the two forward lines into the playoffs.
Amazing that some of you people keep watching. Just amazing. Guess it just gives you one more thing to complain about.
Well the Boston area is notorious for loving an excuse to drink, the end of the last two seasons are certainly worthy.

Fly. Don't look, just fly.
Interesting take and I appreciate the perspective.
Just one gaping difference between your roll up, and one I provided, re: Claude's body of work.
One of them is fact - as in did actually happen (mine). One of them is 'almost did' or 'just fell short' or 'oh so close.' (yours)
Up to you which to go by. I'll stick with reality, and the truth of what did occur to base my judgements.
Your reality ignores a number of factors and pretends it is black and white that each season, Claude Julien choked.
Pierre McGuire in this clip earlier today hinted the Providence College coach is in the mix but would not connect him to the Bruins

Love this sentiment. It's so refreshing to have some random person on the internet lecture everyone on how a fan should enjoy watching a sport. Bravo sir! Bravo!

That's fair, and like I said I'm not for or against firing Julien. Just I have a hard time judging each season by the result of one game, positive or negative.

His name keeps popping up, it is one thing when Murphy says it but when Pierre does it gives one pause.
Yup, lots of 'read between the lines' there. Also, the way he said it, it seemed like there were multiple teams interested.

In terms of hockey, what's there to be happy about? This team sucked and spit the bit down the stretch for the second consecutive year. The last time they were in the playoffs, they got smoked by Montreal in the worst possible way. Should I be doing cartwheels and talking about what a great job the team, the coach, and the GM have done while missing the playoffs yet again?
I think he'd like to continue. As far as I know, the Bruins would have to pay out.

I think he was just covering his tracks realizing he may have given something away.
I mean right in the middle of being questioned about Claude getting fired he says the name I'm hearing is blah,blah blah........... maybe I'm jumping to conclusions
