The great thing to look at in all those game 7's is the goaltending numbers -
Hasn't really had the goaltending luck on his side in those game 7s and has faced some pretty strong goalies in each of those games. I would have no issue if it was announced that Boudreau was head coach in Calgary - the guys lack of playoff success has pretty much come down to not getting the breaks in game 7.
