"Claude Julien's answer to the first question asked after last night's 5-3 Bruins loss to the undermanned Washington Capitals said it all.

The coach was asked to talk about the team's defense.

"Talk about our defense?" Julien said. "There was none."

Facing a Washington team missing several stars, including a suspended Alex Ovechkin and injured Nicklas Backstrom and Mike Green, the Bruins were guilty of several killer mistakes that led to three of the Capitals' first four goals. Mathieu Perreault scored his first career hat trick for Washington and defenseman Dennis Wideman tossed a 170-foot shot into an empty net to clinch the win against his former team with 26.1 seconds left."
