JULIEN ON THE HOT SEAT?

After the Boston Bruins have scuffled over the past couple of weeks, many believe that Claude Julien's job could be on the line, but Cam Neely as well as Peter Chiarelli assured Bruins fans that that is not the case.  The Boston Bruins came out with fire on Thursday night.  Shawn Thornton dropped the gloves two seconds in to get the crowd going.  It sparked the club when Patrice Bergureon scored a short-handed goal in the opening minutes where the Bruins never looked back.  They cruised to a 4-1 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers who have been the surprise of the league this year.  The other three goals were scored by: Michael Ryder and two goals by Shawn Thorton, yes Shawn Thorton.  The Bruins are 18-11-4 and are holding on for dear life as the eight seed in the Eastern Conference.  A win was much needed for this team before they head on the road for a five game road trip.  We will check in with Neely and Chiarelli after the road trip especially if the Bruins only come away with four points.  It should be very interested.  Stay tuned.
