Great quote by Boucher recently when asked about Brassard...
"When you look at the analytics whether its corsi, fenwick or ours, he's at the top of the team. The only thing missing for a few months was just finishing. He hasn't changed anything, just the finishing is there from the same place he had before. That's just a comfort zone where now instead of trying to please everybody, trying to feed like he was doing at the beginning, he's just playing the game now...since Christmas he's been terrific. If you look in terms of scoring chances for and against - for us he's number 1 for forwards...all I asked him to do was not to get frustrated that it wasn't amounting to a goal. He was playing great and how he's playing terrific."
I mean, I knew Brassard was playing well, but it's funny how much better I felt about him after reading this quote from Boucher. Almost don't regret including a 2nd with Z. Almost.
