Claude Julien fined $10K
Montreal coach Claude Julien was fined $10,000 Monday for his comments about the officiating in Saturday night's loss.
The Canadiens squandered a 3-0 lead in the game, and afterward, Julien said the officials had missed several calls.
"Some people need to be held accountable after this game," Julien said. "We had to beat two teams tonight."
It was a rare outburst for Julien, who is not known to be outspoken about officiating.
"We're up 3-0, we're playing well," Julien said. "We make a bad mistake on giving them the puck on that first goal. But given those situations after that, we could have had power plays. It was such a poorly managed game [by the referees]. ... Let's put it that way."
