Bruins Fire Head Coach Julien
Wednesday, February 08, 2017
Assistant coach Bruce Cassidy will take over as the interim head coach.
Boston returns to action on Thursday at the TD Garden when they host the San Jose Sharks.
Bruins Under Julien
Julien finishes his career in Boston as the longest-tenured active head coach in the NHL. His 419 wins in nine seasons is the most wins in Bruins history.
Julien led Boston to their first Stanley Cup in almost 40 years in 2011, defeating the Vancouver Canucks in game 7. Boston got back to the finals two years later but lost to the Blackhawks in six games.
However, Boston has missed the playoffs in each of the last two seasons and currently sit one point outside of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with a record of 26-23-6.
The Bruins have yet to have their bye week and have played more games then any other team in the NHL.
With the #Bruins firing Claude Julien. #Blackhawks Joel Quenneville is now the longest tenured active head coach in the NHL.

Firing a coach on the morning of a Patriots Super Bowl parade is so very Bruins.
