Things certainly didn't go as the Bruins would have planned Saturday night in Columbus. The uncharacteristically sloppy defense early on certainly wasn't what Claude Julien envisioned. The costly breakdowns in discipline leading to selfish penalties weren't what he was looking for either. He definitely wasn't planning on having to pull Tim Thomas after two periods...
