NHLN Notebook: The Bruins look lost, Claude Julien Fired, Islanders on the rise under Doug Weight

The Boston Bruins fired head coach Claude Julien and did so in a way that made the organization look as classless as possible. On the other side of that coin, the Islanders have gone on fire since firing Jack Capuano and replacing him with Doug Weight.

Boston Bruins fire Claude Julien, and everything about it seems very wrong

Bruins rank in 5-on-5 shooting percentage: 30. In 5-on-5 save percentage: 28. In Corsi: 1st. Godspeed, Claude Julien.

It seems like it's been a long time coming — largely because the organization's front office seems to be confused about the direction of the team — but the Boston Bruins have fired head coach Claude Julien.
