WildCard Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) The Bruins have fired Claude Julien. That means not only have they given up on the playoffs, but they might be sellers, and noe a great HC is available. Pretty sure any team does not have to give the Bruins compensation Edited February 7, 2017 by spndnchz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 WGR speculated he will be the Panthers next coach, Not sure they would meet his salary demands though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'd take him in a heartbeat. Not only is he 10x the coach DB is, he actually has a pulse behind the bench. He won't be unemployed very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Why do we want him again? Oooo, I think I know! It's because he was fired from an under-performing team with some good forward depth, young talent that needs time, a decent goalie and a suspect D,… and he would find that familiar here. Is that it?

WildCard Posted February 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 If you want Julien, you want the Sabres to lose these next games heading into our bye Really hard to see a fire / hire of that magnitude in season though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I posted this on Jan 23... I picture Julien getting fired, a couple of flights by PegulaAir to and from Boston, a flight from Boston to Toronto on the afternoon of 2/11, the Sabres conducting their morning skate under Bylsma, but Julien behind the bench before warmups, Bylsma given a raincoat and 9 cents (Canadian) and told to find his own way home, and the Sabres commencing a 17-game win streak that night. Looks like the timing is lining up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrico Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 If you want Julien, you want the Sabres to lose these next games heading into our bye Really hard to see a fire / hire of that magnitude in season though I haven't cheered for losses since the tank year but I may start immediately. We need CJ. We absolutely need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my position as well. I'm not sure what he's bringing. One positive, he might be the catalyst to get Jack to a higher level. Jack obviously grew up with CJ coaching the Bruins so there is likely an admiration for him. Just a thought though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'm in. For no other reason than change for the sake of change. We are stagnant as a team and I think we have better players than our record and play show. Only way to find out is by a coaching change. Penquins did it last year, why can't the Sabres?

The Pens were a SC caliber team, we sir are not. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a new coach, I'm just not convinced CJ is any better than what we've got.

It's because he was fired from an under-performing team with some good forward depth, young talent that needs time, a decent goalie and a suspect D,… and he would find that familiar here. Is that it? Boston is the best possession team in the league that's hit a bad stretch of shooting. Meanwhile, we're sucking turds in a toilet. The fact that Julien can get that type of team possession with the flaws on that roster bodes well for when the shooting turns around and/or roster improves. Bylsma's team will continue to muddle through even with more talent because he doesn't know how to generate possession consistently.

If Jack actually does admire CJ and would respond better than to Disco, that is reason enough to pull the trigger, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 The Sabres have more raw talent than the Bruins. Julien would get more out of this team than DB can. Not much to work with in beantown other than Marchand, Pastrynak and an aging Bergeron. Their best player is Rask. I was surprised the Bruins were playing as well as they were earlier in the season. I thought for sure they would be behind the Sabres in the standings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Panthers have a really nice core of players. I'm sure that has some appeal. Also, because we're too dumb to offer him our job :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 The Bruins are amongst the league leaders in CF and CA. Their save percentage and shooting percentage has sucked. He is an instant upgrade over DD and is Much closer to the same tier as Babcock in terms of coaching ability. Let's do this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkard Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 We should take him, although I'd take just about anyone over DB at this point. 81 points in 82 games last year. 52 points in 52 games so far this year. Not exactly what I'd call progress. Plus I hate his face and his "system". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
