Reid Boucher making his NHL debut tonight!

[MountainGoat]

I hope Brunner takes notes, Reid will show him how to play

 

[Nick0930]

I do hope this is a reverse-jinx.

Otherwise, you will have an angry mob after you, sir.

It was, but you just re-reversed it.

 

[Devils Trap]

Can't wait to watch him.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Lou seems confident that he is ready. I don't know if I agree but I defer to the expert on this one.

 

[SeidoN]

Gonna have some spare underwear by my desk tonight in case he scores

 

[Devils Trap]

Hope he plays with Elias and Henrique . Let him focus more on offense then his D.

Cordell says he wouldnt have been called up if Kowalsky didnt think he was ready. make what you will of that

Please explain THAT to me.

He is playing with Elias and Bernier. So ya he can focus on offense.

Oh man. This is going to suck for you today isn't it? You HAVE to stay up and then get enough sleep to be coherent tomorrow.

Hope Reid makes it worth it!

I stay up for like 70 games a year anyway. the only ones I miss are if I have to be up early the next day. the joys of hardly working at home

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Hopefully he has a mistake free game. While everyone else in the world would be willing to forgive a rookie playing in his first NHL game for making a mistake, our coach wouldn't. Good luck kid, hope you ignore DeBoer.

 

[MattEvan]

U-s-a! U-s-a! U-s-a!

If Pete does not manage Boucher brilliantly Pete will fire him. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

Also - National TV tonight. No pressure kid.

 

[TrufleShufle]

I said a bunch how I don't think he is ready and he shouldn't be called up because I don't want him ruined, but for some reason the whole "just to take a look thing" makes me not care at all about what I said and I just want to see some crazy rookie breakout.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

wow, can't say I saw this coming. still not sure if hes ready, but damn am I excited.

well Pete Deboer is usual pretty forgiving of older guys, and Pete Deboer is a pretty old guy. So I think Pete Deboer would forgive Pete Deboer.

Boucher said Lamoriello told him "remember there's two zones." Elias pointed out "there's three."

Hopefully Lams was only talking about the neutral and offensive zones.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

About time and good luck. Maybe the kid falters, but I'm sure he'll be better than Brunner.

 

[The Devil In I]

Hopefully Lams was only talking about the neutral and offensive zones.

Simple. There's our defensive zone, and everything outside our blue line is the neutral zone. Offense never happens.

 

[Oneiro]

Looked pretty raw in preseason.

We'll see how it goes, I guess. Good for him, though.

DeBoer tells @DebPlacey that Boucher reminds him of Carolina's Jeff Skinner.

if he repeats Skinner's performance from last night ill be pretty chuffed!
