During most of Claude Julien’s tenure in Boston there was the expectation that in any contest against the Montreal Canadiens, the result would be a loss.
In his 10 seasons behind the Bruins bench, Julien and company fell to their longtime rivals 35 times in 52 games.
The faces have changed and the play on the ice has changed and for the Bruins benefit, so have the results.
With wins in their last four against the Habs, the tide has certainly changed. Gone are the days of Montreal’s speed and skill giving the Bruins a fit.
