What the **** are you talking about? Boucher is a bad coach. He is a knowledgeable hockey mind but he is very flawed as a coach and very dogmatic in his approach. He will likely go back to Europe after this season. He really hasn't grown much since his time in Tampa Bay and he is showing the same flaws now that he did back then.
Boucher joined Tampa in 2010 and this was his record for his 2 and a half season he was there;
- 2010-2011: 46W, 25L, 62.8% win percentage, lost in round 3 of the playoffs
- 2011-2012: 38W, 36L, 51.2% win percentage, missed the playoffs
- 2012-2013: 13W, 17L, 43.5% win percentage, fired after 31 games
Here is Boucher's record since joining Ottawa:
- 2016-2017: 44W, 28L, 59.8% win percentage, lost in round 3 of the playoffs
- 2017-2018: 28W, 43L, 40.9% win percentage, missed the playoffs
- 2018-2019: 12W, 13L, 48.2% win percentage
He is a bad coach and he should have been fired multiple times last season and multiple times this season. He has a lot of growing as a coach to do and he isn't going to make the necessary changes any time soon. Firing him wold be a step in the right direction.
