Claude Julien to miss the series

Habs head coach Claude Julien has been hospitalized for chest pain and will miss the series against the Flyers. I guess it’s 50-50 whether the team will suffer from his absence, or rise to the challenge of making him proud in his moment of need.

Scarlet billboards reading #GOHABSGO have gone up around Toronto.

Update: Kirk Muller is going to stand in for Julien, who’s had surgery and is recovering. It’s already been an issue that Muller doesn’t speak French.
