I don't get what changes in Julien. He wasn't like this here or in NJ.
He got fired here because Gainey was brain dead and this after Julien was righting the sinking ship called the Habs.
for no apparent reason He got fired in New Jersey when he had his team first or second in the East .
If he was going to lose that playoff series to Montreal two years ago, word was out that he was gone.
His sense of self-preservation is kicking in.
Julien strikes me as a typical brainwashed victim. He had the Sword of Damocles over his head so often that any self respect he had once was frightened out of him and he'll toe the BS that Jeremy Jacobs & that puke Cam Nealy want pedaled or that Julien thinks they want pedaled.
In other words he's trying to hold onto his job.
And in a sense i don't blame him. Both in Montreal and New Jersey he was doing a good to great job and got fired. Completely unfair.
But in another sense I despise him. He sold out and is basically a mouth piece for Jeremy Jacobs & Cam Nealy
