In what is shocking news all around the league Michel Therrien has been fired and has been immediately replaced him with Claude Julien. It only took seven days for former Bruins head coach Claude Julien to find a new home. After being with the Bruins for 10 seasons Julien will head back to Montreal to be the Head Coach.

Julien, of course, has already coached the Canadiens from 2003 to 2006. He even coached the Canadians to eliminated the Bruins in the first round of the 2004 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

“Claude Julien is an experienced and well respected coach with a good knowledge of the Montreal market,” General Manager Marc Bergevin said. “Claude has been very successful as an NHL coach and he won the Stanley Cup. Today we hired the best available coach, and one of the league’s best. I am convinced that he has the capabilities to get our team back on the winning track.”
