Boudreau has:
- A .635 career winning percentage. Behind only Scotty Bowman for coaches who have coached over 600 games
- 8 division titles with 2 different teams ( More than the Flames have in their history)
- 8 100 point seasons with with three different teams (More 100 point seasons than the Flames have in their history)
I'd kill for this organization to have the consistent success Boudreau has had in his career.
Even his playoff failures are overstated... https://thehockeywriters.com/what-br...f-performance/ |
I think Boudreau is probably the best available coach. But with that PO record, he’d have been heavily criticized here.
He did, of course, have the benefit of teams with Prime Ovie and Backstrom and Prime Getzlaf and Perry. Each with great supporting casts. With Minnie he had great regular seasons but got bounced in 5 and was OOP once.
