Thanks for the links. Pure gold! Vintage BB. Defends Nicky trying to get the puck deep, remembers “the things that drive you nuts” like Semin trying to go 1 on 4 because ”When you’re a great player, you think you can deke” everybody. But the best thing is when he’s asked asked “Will he wear down?” BB: “Who?” Q: “Ovechkin.” ”Never. No, he won’t wear down. If anything, whoever’s playing against him, Seidenberg in this case, he’s got to play perfect hockey, or OV’s going to make him pay.” And then his description of Holtby’s taciturn personality – “You goalies- you’re nuts!” – and how he wants players to talk to him. BB countered the tenor of the broadcast, which could be summed up as “The longer this goes, the Caps are in trouble.” Turned out he’s right. And he loves the guys he coached. It’s as if firing him had no effect on him. Pure class and an inspiration to us all.

As much as I love hearing good things about the Caps on national TV… BB’s offense first mentality is what doomed this team in the playoffs last few years. Hunter has these offensive stars playing defense and playing tough… Which is what is needed to win this series against the Bruins and TT. Boudreau would have tried to out offense them and would have lost.

I hope Bruce comes back towards the end of Ovie’s career and leads the caps to a cup!

When asked “Will Ovechkin ever wear down?” Bruce Boudreau simply chuckled, and replied “The Russian Machine never breaks.”
