Bruins Coach Sounds Off on Defense
Bruins coach Claude Julien critical of Dennis Seidenberg’s play
With his team coming off a disappointing road trip — getting 3 of 6 points on a three-game swing — and currently sitting outside of the playoff structure, Bruins coach Claude Julien conducted a rather feisty news conference on Sunday morning ahead of his team’s 4-3 overtime victory over the Sabres.
Asked what he liked about his current group of seven defensemen, with Joe Morrow sent to Providence on Sunday, Julien responded, “Who said I liked them?”
OK, so what don’t you like about them?
“Who said I didn’t like them?”
The frustration on the part of Julien was obvious, with the Bruins sitting 10th in the Eastern Conference, unable to score consistently, and the season rapidly nearing its halfway point. And while putting the puck in the net seems to be the team’s more pressing issue, Julien was particularly critical of Dennis Seidenberg.
