Claude Julien says his first goal as the new Montreal Canadiens coach will be to ''create some pride'' in the slumping club as he returns behind the bench. The Canadiens opened the season with a 13-1-1 mark but have been listless over the last two months and have a 2-6-1 record in their last nine games. There was fear of another collapse like last season, when the club was in first place but missed the playoffs after star goalie Carey Price was injured.
