Claude Julien insists he's cool as a cucumber.
The Montreal Canadiens head coach tried to assure reporters of his calm demeanor after earning a 3-1 victory Saturday over the Ottawa Senators:

The Canadiens played the Senators three times in eight days and won all three games, prevailing by a combined 7-2 margin in their final two regular-season matchups.
Montreal holds a three-point lead over Ottawa atop the Atlantic Division. The Senators have a game in hand, but three fewer regulation or overtime wins, which would be the tiebreaker at season's end.
The Canadiens are 11-5-1 since firing Michel Therrien and re-hiring Julien on Feb. 14, when they were six points up on the Senators.
