Canadiens players feel positive vibe from new coach Claude Julien
BROSSARD, Que. — Carey Price says it feels like a brand new season is starting for the Montreal Canadiens with Claude Julien now at the helm.
Julien ran his first practice with his new team on Friday, three days after replacing Michel Therrien as Montreal’s head coach. Julien’s first game behind the bench will be Saturday afternoon against the Winnipeg Jets.
For Price, Julien’s arrival feels like a fresh start.
“He has a positive vibe to him,” said Price, who was on Team Canada with Julien at the World Cup of Hockey in September. “Every time I’ve worked with him he’s been easy to talk to. He was very positive, very upbeat.
