from Mike Boone of the Montreal Gazette,

You have to feel for Claude Julien.

Universally respected as one of the NHL’s good guys, Julien is coaching one of the league’s worst teams.

And the Canadiens’ crappiness was amply in evidence Wednesday night in Boston.

The final score was not indicative of how this game went.

After Jakub Jerabek’s early fluke goal – which ticked past Tuukka Rask off Zdeno Chara’s knee – the home team dominated every aspect of the game.

Men against boys … boys who got skates for Christmas and are still a bit hazy on how to use them.
