Great Move in my oppion. A big upgrade from lewis.

Julien is a great coach. I loved him when he coached my Habs. You guys are in good hands.

good to hear, dont know too much about him, but I like what I have heard so far

Its official. Chirialli announced it at a press conference, which you can see on nesn at 10:30.

good, the first step to success is bringing in a sold head coach:

Now we need a goalie, a 40 goal scorer, and a defensman

Well, we will see about a goalie tommorow. The Sharks are expected to be dealing, and they have two goalies in Nabokov and toskala.

The bruins are also interested (just a little) in Patrick Marleau. If we could pull of a big trade with us getting marleau and nabokov I would be ecstatic about the bruins. The chanches of that are very little though.

There is speculation, not a rumor, that rafalski might sign here, because of the Julien connection. Like last year with PC and Chara. That would be great. I was always a fan of him in NJ.

Another thing I got from chiarelli was he saying that It is really hard to move up. But he has got enticing offers to move down.

Anyway, got a little off topic with rumors and such. But I feel Julien said the right things in this Press Conferrence.

Fire...intensity...total 180 of coaches past. Like the move and look forward to some offseason moves
