69 Quotes by Claude Julien

They picked us to miss the playoffs two years ago and they were wrong,

There was no problem with the weather. We enjoyed the whole atmosphere, and the whole experience was great. I'm sure people who watched it on television were amazed by what they saw.

They're playing like an ordinary team, but I remember that was the case two seasons ago,

A team that wants to be considered a good team can't play the way we did tonight. If we just want to be an average team this year, then that's another story.

It was battle-tested victory for us in many ways.

Everyone is still adjusting right now, whether it's the coaches, the players or the goalies. You've taken away one of a defenseman's biggest assets which is their ability to clear the front of the net and protect their goalie.

At some point the league has to do more to protect the goalies before someone ends up getting hurt.
