Rumor: Russo: Boudreau, Leafs, “finally” talking about As. Coach Job

[Menzinger]

I still don't get the love towards Bruce.

What did he achieve with that powerhouse Caps again?

A series of deep playoff runs that kept running into Crosby/Malkin in their primes.

He also turned the Wild lacking star talent into a consistent playoff team.

He can get a lot done with little tools if need be.

 

[pylon17]

He understands the struggle and he's played in New Brunswick sign me up

He got 121 points out of a team with a worse defense than ours. In the playoffs flawed rosters are exposed.

There's one team in the NHL without a flawed roster. It hasn't won the cup in awhile and got swept last season.

Pressure is now on Keefe to get it done

Hubris was their flaw last season. They're also 5 wins away from a cup for the 4th time in the last 6 seasons. I'd be ecstatic for half their success.

My point was actually that there's one team without flaws.

Bruce Boudreau used to be one of my favourite Maple Leaf players when he wore the blue and white in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Just get it done

 

[JT AM da real deal]

I would like them to hire a former defender who played defense and knows how to develop defenders ... nothing against Bruce though great former Marlie who I watched as a kid when he was with big team in junior

 

[Fogelhund]

I'm not seeing any downsides, to bringing him onboard. I don't believe his overall style is a winning one, but put him in charge of our offense, and PP, and I think it would be very positive, along with general experience and insight.

 

[Papi 4 Hart]

It's not like hes coming on to be the head coach either. He is coming her to help take over some of Hakstol's duties and add a plethora of experience.

This is a great opportunity for us to have a very high quality Assistant coach.

And its like now that we have malhotra. Bruce finna play a different type of role surely no? He'd help with the system and old school dirt more. Manny knows the young dirt and faceoffs. Bruce knows the D dirt.

 

[The Nic]

Boudreau owns at 58% winning percentage over 14 seasons as an NHL Head Coach. That's approximately 95 points per season. You guys are right... why would they even consider hiring a bum like that?

 

[Shooter14]

Don't worry Bruce if you are unable to secure a head coaching job, or an assistant position with the Leafs, there will be a GM position available for the Leafs after next season. Still a chance to be involved with your beloved home team.

 

[TMLeafer]

I understand not hiring a capable head coach as an assistant to a rookie coach in Keefe. I'm ok with that decision. We're not talking about a guy like Jacques Martin.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Yeah that makes sense

Okay I guess this makes any BB talk a mute point now that its official.
