Julien was mocked for years on this board.
His "Embellishment City" videos and wheel of excuses were things of legends.
Bruins fans wanted him fired, including the year he won the Stanley Cup.
Julien's reputation is bigger than his ability. He's better than what we had, but I didn't like him before, I didn't like him on the Bruins but appreciated the comic relief of his buffoonery, and I don't like him now.
I'll accept him as adequate compared to the garbage we just recovered from, though. He has qualities, he's just still very archaic in his approach which is a problem with this entire management.
