Yeah but is he better than Jokipakka?
asked and not answered.. my guess is noIs Pokka betta than Pakka?
Continues to dismantle the Boucher mafia.
If Pyatt and/or Dumont are sent out in the next 10 days, then I think Guy is gone at the end of the year. Wouldn't have thought that last Friday.
Unfortunately Boucher will probably be back, but it does look like Dorion is putting his foot down a little bit as far as the roster goes. We'll see after the deadline if Boucher is really interested in developing youth or if its just more lip service.Continues to dismantle the Boucher mafia.

Same old Dorion-Boucher mistrust of youth.
This is honestly getting to a meme-level point where the argument has lost all meaning to me. Any time I read this, it's just background noise. There's not even any accuracy to it anymore... like, not every single time an under-24-year-old isn't playing 20+ minutes a night does it have to be because "Boucher Veterans LOL".
Boucher and Dorion aren't 1920's villains twirling their mustaches while laying down tied-up young hockey players to a set of train tracks and laughing maniacally waiting for some steam engine to run them over before some heroic lumberjack mythic hero comes to save them.

Crazy year for Dido. He’s been all over the place. Life as a pro athlete I guess, but it’s still gotta be rough to move around that much.
I don't know if Boucher is back, my guess is Luke Richardson gets the job.
It really comes down to what EK wants this summer with his contract, if EK wants a new coach, Ottawa gets a new coach,

To your last paragraph. Where’s the proof they aren’t ?This is honestly getting to a meme-level point where the argument has lost all meaning to me. Any time I read this, it's just background noise.

It’s more normal than you think. The stars run the teams. In all sports.that's a very dangerous precedent in any sport with any athlete
I've no idea if Boucher is back next year obviously but if a bunch of guys have an issue with him then I'd expect changes. if it is just EK and it's the old me or him routine I'd trade EK. And I wouldn't do it for any love of Boucher, I'd do it because you can't have one guy running the team. Star and coach need to get along for sure but if the star is on an island on his own....I'd go with the coach.
but I think that if EK wants him gone....as team captain I'd expect that is the general feeling in the room and that as Captain he would present a list of issues the players have with the coach.
To your last paragraph. Where’s the proof they aren’t ?
Sounds like Pokka had a good game last night in Belleville.
Moved the puck well and was good on the point and showed a quick hard shot. He and Chlapik were on the points on the PP. Good addition to the BSens
To your last paragraph. Where’s the proof they aren’t ?
Not to kick a franchise when their down, but hasn’t Dorion being saying for 3 straight years that they are building a solid AHL team to help the growth of the young players only to have them gong out every year?
Kind of like what we have here in Ottawa. Murray set out 10 years ago to build a Playoff team, 10 years later it’s the exact same plan
