That's the most physical Bourque's played in at least seven years.

Didn't Bourque also hit a coach with a puck during practice at some point?

Did you watch that game last night? Even the great Mike Babcock would have his work cut out for him trying to win with that group as that's not a very good team.

No way. Scotty Bowman for sure. Torts may be disliked by some players but Bowman was despised by many and Mike Keenan wasn't far behind.

Have they announced where they will have the team accountability apology yet? Or does Torts have to bench/scratch him first?

Taking a while to get to 5000
None of this would have happened had Torts shown up in shape.

Ya fair enough. I should of specified this only applying to active coaches. The 80's were a different era both in Hockey and what is socially acceptable to say/do.

No shock as Bourque always seemed to run into his own teammates. Low IQ player.
