With a lack of offense, Julien gets defensive 02.04.10 at 10:55 pm ET
By Mike Petraglia

Claude Julien just watched his team take 47 shots on net and score twice in 65 minutes, including a 4-on-3 power play in overtime and a scoreless shootout. All of this on top of 42 shots on Tuesday night that resulted in just one goal in a 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.

The Bruins coach was had seen enough. And when he was asked whether three goals in 89 shots and nine straight losses means his team was no better than average, Julien responded.

“We believe we have a better-than-average hockey team,” Julien said. “I think our team was pretty good tonight. I’m not going to stand here and say we’re a bad team. Absolutely not.”

    yeah, youre better than average at finding ways to lose games. youre better than average at missing the net, i dont see how he could defend this team, shots ON goal dont count, shots IN the net count. the bruins are the best comedy on tv. its like watching a movie where you already know the ending. a futile effort leads to another loss. i have 0 confidence in this team, and now i expect them to lose, i think its the same feeling in the locker room, nobody seems to really care. Thanks ownership for providing a terrible product,the poor sap fans just keep showing up, but as long as youre making money, right? I NEED TO VENT, AHHH

    Claude, stop the B.S. of trying to defend this team. They SUCK!!! They are the worst team in the NHL right now, name one who is worse. Just for Claude’s information, a team who can’t score goals DOES suck.
