Throughout the history of the Boston Bruins, words like grit and toughness are fired as hard a Zdeno Chara slap shot. Even as the NHL has changed to a faster paced, up-tempo brand of hockey, these words will likely come up at some point during the course of the Bruins’ season.

For a guy who’s often criticized for his defensive first mentality, Julien’s comments are quite refreshing for Bruins fans.
