SE Division Champ Matchup | Capitals-Lightning GNT

[SLY]

What was the exact context of Bruce's comments anyway? I really don't think coaches should be so demonstrative in the public...only asking for trouble, and in this case it's not really something that motivates YOUR team. Good game Caps and Bolts btw, can we avoid OT next time? Please and thank you.

Gamesmanship or bulletin board material? Bruce Boudreau calls Steve Stamkos a diver | ProHockeyTalk

Nope. First, hXc is too stupid to have an actual argument with. Second, if I wanted an argument, I would just have to say something dumb about the Flyers and we could go on for pages. But I respect them, so why bother. Third, if you want to come in a GNT and talk about how one of our top players is a "diver"... expect the horns.

I think he is talkin about BB's comments, And I respect Ovies skills, but he is a diver. Seems all good skill players are doing it these days, so don't feel it's all about ovie. Briere is good at it too.

The whole Boudreau thing is being blown out of proportion...He was doing nothing more than trying to add a little energy to an already intriguing match-up. Bruce is a character...he says things that make you shake your head all the time. He's full of personality and he's outspoken. His players are amused by most of his antics. Who cares if it got the Bolts fired up? If you need an opposing coach's comments to get the juices flowing, then you're in the wrong business.

Your right, regardless it worked for his team, Not sure you'd want to do it in the playoffs but sometime it fires up your own team as well..
