As the Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets take to the Bell Centre ice on Saturday afternoon, the spotlight will not be on the players, but instead on the Habs’ new bench boss, Claude Julien.
Julien makes his return to Montreal after replacing Michel Therrien as the team’s head coach earlier this week. Hailed as a “superstar” by Marc Bergevin upon arrival, expectations will rightfully be high.
Of course, we must keep in mind that Julien has had just one practice with his new club — a club which has just one win in its last seven games.
