Claude Julien calls out P.K. Subban, Canadiens for ‘embarrassing’ the game with embellishing 03.03.13 at 11:09 pm ET
By DJ Bean

Claude Julien sounded off on the Canadiens after Sunday's loss. (AP)

Bruins coach Claude Julien went off on the Canadiens following Montreal’s 4-3 win over the B’s Sunday night, calling the Canadiens out for embellishing to get penalties.

Julien felt that the B’s were at a disadvantage because Alexei Emelin‘s second-period cross-check on Tyler Seguin wasn’t called, though Zdeno Chara got an instigator penalty and a 10-minute misconduct for challenging and fighting Emelin after the play.

“The frustrating part is that you end up with 17 minutes in the penalty box when you should have been on the power play. It’s as simple as that,” Julien said. “It’s frustrating because tonight, as everybody saw, there was a lot of embellishment and this is embarrassing for our game, embellishing. Right now, they’ve got over 100 power plays so far and it’s pretty obvious why. We’re trying to clean that out of our game and it’s got to be done soon.

“It’s not about tonight. It’s about the game and the embellishment embarrasses our game, and we need to be better at that because it was pretty obvious when P.K. [Subban] gets hit, he throws himself into the glass and holds his head. You know what? If we start calling those penalties for embellishment, maybe teams will stop doing it, but until we take charge of that, it’s going to be an issue.”

Julien said that the Bruins shouldn’t have to feel the need to play less physical against the Habs. He wants the games to be called better, specifically with Habs players getting their comeuppance for diving.

“We can’t change our style. We’ve got to play the way we play,” he said. “If it’s clean, then it should be deemed clean, but it’s hard on referees because when people embellish, it makes them look bad. Well, we’ve just got to make sure we get the right people when it comes to that. When you call the embellishment, maybe they’ll stop embarrassing referees.”

  • Tim

    Good for Claude. Montreal is a joke of a team.

  • bruinsarecrap

    wow!  With Marchand and Ference diving away, Julien should just shut up and take the loss like a man.  Chara got what he deserved. he did INSTIGATE the fight.

    Bruins were classless crosschecking guys AFTER goals and not getting called by the refs.  If anything the bruins got off lucky fromt he refs.

  • Mustafa MC

    Claude missed class again today

    I hope someone can somehow get this video in front of Julien.  Goes to show how big of a hypocrite he is!

  • Papichulo

    Excuses just so he doesn’t have to answer the real questions like why did Chara lose it like that. They hit and rough up everybody and then cry when they do get a penalty.

  • LUC248

    SO FUNNY COMING FROM A GOON TEAM

  • LUC248

    INSTEGATOR RULE IS WHY YOU GOT SO MANY MINUTES MON CLAUDE AND UNSPORTMAN LIKE CONDUCT

  • Papichulo

    Claude Julien will complain to Peter Chiarelli. Then Ciarelli will complain to Jeremy Jacobs. Then Jabobs will complain to Gary Bettman. Then Gary Bettman will complain to Terry Gregson (Director of officiating). Then Gregson will complain to all refs and THEN the game will change the the Bruins’ liking

  • Tom

    Montreal plays hockey like Europeans play soccer… They fall down and cry holding themselves like they’ve had a career ending injury and then they’re up playing like nothing happened.

  • guest

    was that a comment or a replay of Seguin receiving the cross check?

  • Thissucks87

    Claude Julien has the worst attitude in the history of all coaches in the National Hockey League. He constantly makes excuses for losing games and blames his teams’ loss on isolated non-significant incidents (the other team”diving”), which have absolutely no effect on the outcome of the game, to justify his loss. He did this in Vancouver, he does it all the time against Montreal. This man has a very bad attitude - him calling others a disgrace to the game is hypocrisy to colossal proportions.

  • Sicko

    Agreed 100%, the Canadiens have been diving since the rules were tightened up a few years back. Bruins took some stupid penalties no question but enough with the embellishing.

    BTW the loser “guest”, “123″, “Greasylunch” are the same idiot.

    You know what else is an embarassement to the game Claude? Dirty players/hits and beeing immuned from suspensions for brown nosing the disciplinarians. You win some, you loose some, now be a man about it

  • Thehipster7

    wtf…is he going senile!

  • guest

    difference is, habs management, coaching staff and players didnt invent any excuses after their loss ;) … something, maybe, that the bruins organization should try and learn from!

     Who won the last game in Montreal? Let’s see who’s in first after the 3 games in hand.

  • http://www.facebook.com/mckenny.stleger McKenny St-Leger

     Clearly you haven’t seen Seguin’s whining, as Marchand poking Prust in the face with his stick…but yes, you lost cuz the habs fell!

  • guest

    4-3 habs win, Bruins win in the whining department though! thumbs up!

  • guest is a butt pirate

     Does Subban ever not moan to the officials whenever he’s touched? Give me a break he cries the whole game. If the Seguin was a Canadien there would be a league inquiry on the hit and probably a 5 minute major. Every time a Canadiens’ player gets hit he acts like he was shot.

  • Fab4ever

    Amazing…now we get the loser little Hab fans chortling in…..you’re the one that needs to get lost d ick head…Claude is 100% dead on…and you’d be the first one crying if the shoe was on the other foot…..isn’t there a strip club in Montreal that you’d rather be at?

  • guest

    Subban didn’t moan when he got pushed in the BACK by “Horty” (what a fag nickname btw) neither did he moan when “I get concussions when i fight” Thornton ran him into the boards while the puck was no where around… nice try though

     I see your familiar with the clubs here! Your team lost fair and square…can’t keep whining about perceived diving just because you can’t away with the crap the The bruins pull on the ice. Not happy with the officiating? Tell your team to Stay disciplined. That’s how the Habs won! Now go do what ever it is you do in Baaahston!

    I think what happened to Claude Julien is what has happened  to many hockey  people and fans  as soon as they have  anything to do with the bruins  they become the biggest hypocrites in the sport world .

  • Guest

    It’s not generally my nature to post on comments sections, but I would just like to say from a logical perspective that there is absolutely to merit to the diving accusations tonight. This followed by Bruins fans showing a compilation of plays dating all the way back to 2004, almost a decade. I mean common. However I am curious to know what some bruins fans think about these plays :

  • guest

    Not saying there isn’t some whining on the Bruins part, and let’s face it, every coach on every team needs to explain afterwards why their team lost( Claude also points out that 3/4 of his lines weren’t producing being a major problem too just fyi). If Montreal had lost, we all know that Canadiens fans would be whining and their coach making excuses, and Boston fans would be say stop whining you lost. 
    That said, Claude’s point is still valid. A team that leads the league in power plays is more than likely embellishing hits more often than other teams. You could argue the Bruins(along with every other team) do it too, but yet compared to the Canadiens, the Bruins have nearly 40 fewer power plays, so the Bruins are doing it far less often.   

  • Kicks267

    Classic delusional Bruins. I’m not saying Montreal doesn’t embellish, but Claude Julien needs to look at his own team before going on a rant like that. 

    Marchand is probably the biggest diver in the league. There’s even footage of him where you can clearly read his lips where he dives and then tells his trainer, “I was trying to draw a 5 minute major.” 

    Seguin isn’t far behind him as well. A perfectly example being that little nudge that Emelin gave him tonight. That was hardly a cross check and an enormous embellishment. Also, there was no need for Chara to go crazy like that over a nudge to the shoulder. 

    Bottom line is that the Bruins are a bunch of hypocrites. They have some tough players, but there are just as guilty, if not more guilty, than most NHL teams in the diving/embellishment department.

  • Molson Beer

     Hey idiot all those videos were in direct reply to a Montreal fan posting a video about the 2011 Cup run by the Bruins saying they were diving. BTW no one on here even mentioned that the Canadiens didn’t deserve to win the game I find if highly hypocritical not one Montreal fan came on these boards a few weeks ago after Boston beat Montreal on the road. Tonight the boards are overrun by Johnny come latelys trolling after a win.

  • Innovator

    You saying that Marchand is the worst diver in the league when PK Subban  actually has a pulse, absolutely discredits and takes away any credibility in what you said….To think that Subban isn’t the most obvious habitual diver in the history of the league is delusional…

  • Innovator

    So Canadien fans really just came on board tonight and talked some of the most horrific trash on a Bruins Board?? Really?? Why?? Does it make you feel that good about yourself to hide behind your computer and say things that you would NEVER,EVER,EVER say to anyones face?? How about a nice OBJECTIVE conversation pointing out facts instead of diharreah of the mouth…What happened to maturity?…Maybe we could learn somethinghere… 

  • Sicko

     Amazing isn’t it? Got to love all the frauds and trolls jumping on board. Weird after the Bruins beat them up in Montreal not a troll was to be seen. What a bunch frauds Montreal fans are. Known around the league as the most fair weather fans in the NHL. Let’s see who’s in first after all the games the Bruins have in hand are played.

  • Seanrogers64

    You guys are out of your mind! It’s not a European style of hockey. North American hockey has and always will be a hitting style of hockey. So slow down you pus_y’s. Classless? Classless is when your try to get a power play advantage when it is not warranted. The Canadiens no they will lose when they play at even strength. The numbers show this! You clowns have to be Canadien fans. They whine and always will whine. Go back to Canada you DB’s. 

  • Hockey Fan

    People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.  Funny Claude, look at the video of Marchand hitting Prust in the face with his stick after the whistle while he was down!  CLASSLESS.  Respect the game, the players and your team.  Funny how you whine about other teams’ act, clean up yours first!

  • Theghostoftito

    Eat a donut you fat turd and stop whining. Watch your own players including Marchand and Ference who dive all of the time…What a tool.

  • Bruinman86

    Well, I have to agree with Claude on this one.  The Habs could play a much more of a classier game and still win.  But they Dive and fake stuff all night.  Much of that falls on the league by not punishing them when they do it.  The rest is on the coach for using that style of play. It’s up to the Bruins to use better discipline in these situations.  Having Chara and Lucic (2 star players on this teams) do all the heavywork  – and getting extra penalties for how they went about it was what cost them the game.  Reminds me of that Vancouver game last season in Boston.  The reffing was a little one sided, but you can’t rely on that every night to go your way.

    this is not about winning or losing “123″ its about seperating hockey from soccer. If i wanted to watch a pu ss y take a dive i would watch soccer. PK Subban should play soccer.

    lol. Look at all the Queebs and Canucks here bitchin’.  Sorry you guys haven’t been great since you gave us all your good players, since we embarrassed a Canadian team in the Stanley Cup, since you burned a city down because Vancouver is the ULTIMATE WHINER CITY.  Suck it up.  You haven’t won since Patrick Roy (Pronounced ‘roy’ not ‘wah’) failed you and went to a real team, and John LeClair, my neighbor, went to a better American team.  Stop trying to penalty your way into a win you big sack of cry baby habs.

  • Guest

    Correction, like South Americans play soccer. The English, Scottish & German leagues at least are calling out embellishment and issuing yellow cards. And by the way unless you played soccer, you have no idea how much it hurts for a minute or two to be stepped on by a cleat or kicked on the shin. It does hurt like a cereer ending injury then goes away fast.

    Montreal flops, no doubt and Subban looks like such a wuss when he does it. That said, I wish Julien would just shut up in these instances. Move on…if he thinks the posturing buys anything it doesn’t, it just looks pathetic.

  • H Bouley

    As a fan of neither team I find Julien incredibly whiney. He, along with his players supported Charra’s intervention of Lemelin’s crosscheck. I suppose taking this immediate action was supposed to have the effect of sending a message to the Canadians “dont F*** with us”.  However given the result of Charra missing 17 minutes of crucial game time and probably causing a Bruin loss undoubtedly gave the Canadians the attitude ” Hey lets do it all again. We’ll take a little bruising. It was worth it”

  • Bruinman86

    Look, both teams were guilty of stuff yesterday.  Plain and simple.  Refs let a few things slide that they probably shouldn’t have.  The Bruins lost the game because they let their emotions get the best of them.  Both teams have passionate fans.  Some crazier than others.  Sure, we’re pissed that the Habs won.  But we also know that we will meet again.  I can’t wait. Meanwhile, quit the name-calling and the taunting.  It was 1 regular season win. Nothing more. Save it for the playoffs. Besides, this is a BOSTON forum for BOSTON fans to sound off after a tough loss. Not for Montreal fans to taunt B’s fans. If you disagree with what we say on here, then leave. Take the high road.

  • Fab4ever

    I like the sentiment but the trolls cannot go unchecked. I am of the opinion that Chara should have waited to make his point…it would have been just as effective rather than immediately…but Subban is a disgrace. For a guy that good to pull that kind of crap is indeed a travesty. He’s not a small guy….Isolate him when he gets hit…he forever reacts like his head was ripped off…he looks around and then gets up…The NHL needs to fix this…we have 2 different styles of hockey. The B’s are big and physical. The Habs are small and fast…if the B’s play their game and don’t let them get under their skin, B’s win…but the officiating has to call the flops…it’s in the books…call it!!!!

  • Patrick Roy

    Nobody is questioning who won the game. Why don’t all the
    Bruins’ haters stick to the topic? The topic is Subban and the Habs’ are
    notorious for dive tactics against the Bruins’ every now and then and everyone knows
    it……..plain and simple.  I mean Geesh a couple of years ago in the Playoffs I’m suprised that Subban didnt take a dive during the elimination handshake, that’s how bad he was!!!!!!!!!

     

  • Bruinman86

    What is so disappointing about Subban is that he is a tremendous talent, but he chooses to diminish it all with the diving, acting crap. How cowardly can you get? Honestly, I see it as an extension of his coach. I agree the NHL needs to cut this crap out, and quick. It hurts the integrity of the game. The hockey purists of all teams don’t like this crap. Obvious flops – regardless of the team doing it should face a 1 game suspension as well. Clean the game up.

  • Fitzyboy39

    How about the high stick to Pacioretty or that little puke Marchand putting the blade of his stick in Prust’s throat.  Both completely accidental, I’m sure.

    At least they aren’t a bunch of classless, goon, crybabies.  McQuaud beating on an unwilling Spacek a couple of years ago during that goon fest, then last night hammering little David Desharnais after Pacioretty scored like a 5yr old who’s brother took his cookie.  Julien is the perfect coach for this team and Lucic and Marchand exemplify just how classless this team is.

    How many Stanley Cups have the Canadians won  since the league banned the Habs from the unfair rule of allowing them the first pick in the draft of french speaking Canada?

    Ahhhhh so nice to see the Bruins-Canadiens bad blood spill into the stands and hit this board. That is what we call FANS!

    Look, I agree with what has been said about the Canadiens. They played a good game last night and won. Good for them and as a fan of hockey (and the Bruins) they played well. It is nice to see them have a strong team this year….it is better for hockey and for this rivalry.

    Now, what I, as a Bruin fan, take exception to is some of the deluded commentary that has entered this board by people claiming to be Canadiens fans. Hmmmm. I know several Canadiens fans and they tend to be a bit more intelligent, open-minded, and savvy about the game than many who have posted here today.

    Here are some facts – not opinions – that should be shared:

    First, to claim that there Subban doesn’t flop is simply ridiculous. It is as silly as saying the Varajeo, Ginobli, and Scola don’t flop in the NBA. They do and the NBA did something about it, which – I agree with posters here  – the NHL has to deal with.

    Second, both teams play a tough type of hockey. But to claim that the Canadiens don’t stretch the bounds of what is fair and legal is a bit silly. There have been a couple of cheap shots leveled by the Habs against the Bruins. We saw a couple last night and when the Bruins retaliate, several players turtle….ala Ulf Samuelson back in the day. The NHL doesn’t need that. And, yes, Marchand stretches the boundaries as well. We know that. Sure, Marchand may be well-liked by Bruins fans, but not everyone here appreciates all of his antics. Many a Bruins fan, though loving his game, has noted that he can also rile up opponents sufficiently to cause problems for his fellow teammates who have to face repercussions.

    Third, it is okay to call out Bruins fans, but let’s not be hypocritical. Most Bruins fans are not, by nature, classless.  Bruins fans didn’t dial the police hoping to get Chara arrested. Bruins fans did not take a petition out hoping to get Chara in trouble. A Bruin radio station announcer didn’t allegedly call a Boston hospital asking how to make a 60 year old baby quiet. Please…the last people that Canadiens fans should call classless are Bruins fans who had to put up with this type of useless nonsense.

    Sure, it was a tough game. The Canadiens won. However, who won the prior five games in the series. Who matches up better. And who – when they are on their game – plays a better game. Clearly the Bruins.

    Fact, not opinion.

  • Rperrin4444@yahoo.com

    When did Canadian fans and players turn into such Wimps? If you played for Montreal in the 80′s or even the 90′s like this you would have been run out of town by your own fans. Now you embrace it. You’ve gone soft
