Boudreau is used to 5 to 7 reporters with note pads and recorders asking his questions about how Ovechkin might hit 60 goals etc. This time around Mr. Boudreau is dealing with English reporters, French reporters from both Montreal and Washington asking him questions that are tougher to answer because they are more knowledgable than any other reporters in the league. Boudreau feels the pressure, the heat and the spot light more than ever because they are favorites to win it all, they are playing Montreal, the controversial comments have already started etc.
Dans un cas comme dans l’autre, Bruce Boudreau n’adhčre pas vraiment ŕ cette façon de penser. «Si cinq ou dix minutes d’entrevues par jour suffisent ŕ déconcentrer nos gars, c’est que nous n’avons pas fait les bons choix», a-t-il lancé.
Quant ŕ finir rapidement ou pas la série, le coach des Capitals a pris soin de ne pas mettre la char rue devant les boeufs.
«Montréal nous a battus deux fois cette saison, a-t-il rappelé. On s’attend ŕ une longue série en espérant sortir vainqueur. Du moment oů tu penses que c’est important de l’emporter en 4 ou 5 parties, tu es dans le trouble. Notre seul but est de gagner; si ça prend huit parties pour ça, on va toutes les jouer.»
on a side note JDM sucks anyways just like all the staff on RDS that dont know anything about the rest of the players in the NHL. They call Karlsson a forward, while he is a defenceman!
Quote:
L’attaquant des Sénateurs, Erik Karlsson, a récolté deux points au cours du match d’hier soir.
God, does Boudreau ever run out of things to whine about?
Actually what he's doing is smart. He's taking all the media attention away from his players. Have you heard anything from Ovechkin or anyone other than Theo for that matter in the last few days? Nope.
Just basic coaching strategy to divert attention towards him rather than the players.
I think if enough HFers spread the word to chant "Q Q! Q Q! Q Q!" every time he does something at the games, as said earlier, complains about a call, whatever it may be, it could catch on
Anybody else heard that? Dany Dubé just said on RDI that Niklas Backstrom has an injured shoulder and he could miss the game tonight. They will decide if he plays or not just before the game!

Then it's a strategy he's been honing since the day he stepped foot in the league.

The Washington Examiner also suggested today he was only coming back from an illness:
"Nicklas Backstrom looked a little worn out after his illness earlier this week and spending what he said was "two days" in bed. Backstrom added that he was headed home for a nap and looked really, really excited about that prospect."
