Stu from the Gazoo joins in the fun
>>>Is it his fault that the team has looked lost the last four games? He should certainly take a big chunk of the blame. If a hockey team sucks, the coach should admit he’s part of the problem.
But
Julien refuses to do that and that’s not a good sign. During his news conference after Thursday’s
pathetic 3-0 loss to the high-flying Edmonton Oilers — who are tied with the Habs for second place in the division, though Montreal holds two games in hand — Julien deflected all blame.
“I don’t think it’s the system itself, it’s more us executing properly,” said Julien. “I think when you see our execution come back, those things won’t be in question.”
That’s code for it’s the players’ fault. Uncool. For the first time since Julien arrived behind the bench in his second tour of duty, he has the players. So if they’re not executing, it’s on Julien. A player or two can go into a slump, but not a whole team.
It appears Julien’s not good at adjusting. With the wheels on the bus going wobbly since that terrible game against Ottawa last Thursday, what has Julien done to adjust?
