Claude Julien to return to Bruins as head coach next season

"The Neutral Zone" Staff Report

Th Boston Bruins announced on Thursday that despite missing the playoffs for the past two seasons, Claude Julien will return as the team's head coach for the 2016-17 NHL season. 

"It’s pretty obvious we failed on numerous occasions with some big games," Julien said in a press conference on Thursday. "Our consistency wasn't there."

When Julien said that he and the Bruins failed on "numerous occasions," he mentioned the 2016 Bridgestone NHL WInter Classic, where the Bruins lost 6-1 outdoors to the Montreal Canadiens.

"I want to be here," Julien also said. "I want to bring this team back to where we had it."\

In the conference, Bruins GM Don Sweeny said that Doug Houda will not return to the team's coaching staff next season.
