Shocking details on Claude Julien's dismissal revealed!

Last week's main story was Claude Julien being relieved from his duties by Don Sweeney and the Boston Bruins management team. From a fan stand point of view or even from other NHL head coach comments, Claude Julien's situation raised questioning regarding the motive of moving forward without one of the best NHL head coaches.

Not only did Don Sweeney announce Julien's dismissal during the Super Bowl parade for the New England Patriots, he also did it a few games before Julien reached the important milestone of 1000 games as a head coach in the NHL. This is not exactly what you could classify as a classy move.

According to insider Jimmy Murphy, there would be another reason why the Boston Boston  cut the ties with Julien so early this year. Apparently one contract clause stipulated that if Claude Julien would've reached 57 games this year, his contract would've been renewed for one more year automatically.

Julien's been fired after 55 games this year... Coincidence?
