The discussion included speculation about the potential return to play for Patrice Bergeron, the ex-captain of the Boston Bruins. They also discussed the possibility of a head coaching position with the Ottawa Senators. Notably, Julien expressed skepticism about the rumors concerning Bergeron.
Julien began his career in the 2002-03 season with the Montreal Canadiens. After three seasons, he moved to New Jersey to coach the Devils in 2006-07. The following season saw him at the helm of the Bruins, where he spent ten seasons. During his tenure in Boston, he led the team to two Stanley Cup finals, winning in 2011 against the Vancouver Canucks. Additionally, he earned the Jack Adams Award, given to the NHL's best coach. He returned to the Canadiens in the 2016-17 season for another five-year stint. Since the 2020-21 season, he has yet to take on a new challenge.
