08:24 AM ET 12.14 | As far as life lessons go, young Brad Marchand will probably get more from the words of Claude Julien than the NHL's $2,500 fine for slew-footing Matt Niskanen. "It was a dangerous play and it was definitely a slew-foot," Marchand said. "Those are dangerous plays and guys can get hurt like that." ... Marchand is at his best when he's getting under the skin of his opponents. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. "As I've put it in my own words: I want him to be a good brat, not a bad brat," Julien said. "That means don't cross the line and I think he did that time. His response was, 'I thought I was going to get away with it.' That's not what you want to see from your players."

Julien certainly isn't afraid to acknowledge when his players mess up.

Very refreshing. Coach of my team will lie about anything, including who the starting goalie will be.

I saw the play go down and it looked bad, but I was surprised to hear that they actually fined Marchand for a slew foot. Julien's reaction to it is probably the best assurance that he won't be doing that again.

Sigh. First of all, I was wondering why the fine came a good week after the incident? I had thought they forgot about it too, which considering, would not have surprised me.
However, did he really say he thought he would get away with it? At what cost? Possibly hurting someone...bad? At least he admits it. There's your "intent," Shanny! LOL

Julien just scored some points with me here. Too many times i've seen coaches come out in the media and support their players when the replay clearly shows them cheap shotting someone.
Remember when Cooke kneed Ovechkin? These were his coaches comments, "I didn't think much contact was made. Maybe their skates get wound up together. But, you know, Ovechkin was out on the ensuing power play."
That type of enabling crap is what i'm talking about, and my team has certainly taken part in it as well if you remember the Randy Jones boarding incident. It's all crap and needs to stop. We aint blind, we can see the effing replay. Call a spade a spade for once. Good on ya, Claude Julien.

I think Bylsma should have said: "Ovie likes a little knee on knee action, so we didn't think he would mind?"

I would have respected that comment. That's kinda like calling multiple spades a spade simultaneously.

Yeah, I've had my moments when I wanted Boston to send Claude packing, but I can't say I've ever heard him defend any foolishness from his own players. He is a stand up guy and we Bruins fans are happy to have him......................................................for now ;)

I'm guessing it was because the play was near the boards as the player he wiped out was heading into the corner. Taking the guys feet out could have caused his legs to get hurt as he went into the boards feet first. I have to wonder if he'd have done it in front of the net or out in the middle of the rink somewhere if the fine would have been levied.

I thought Boston fans were of the belief that players that intentionally try to injure other players had no place in the NHL?
