The Bruins have hired former Devils head coach Claude Julien according to TSN:

TSN has confirmed a report that the Bruins have hired Claude Julien to be their next head coach, with an official announcement expected Tuesday.

Julien was the head coach of the New Jersey Devils during the 2006-07 campaign, but was fired April 3 despite the team leading the Atlantic Division with a 72-71-16 record.

The 47-year-old previously coached the Montreal Canadiens from January 2003 until January 2006.

Julien has already said he looks forward to getting started and can't wait to become the scapegoat for the 2007-08 campaign...
