No surprise that on one of the biggest days of Bruce Boudreau’s hockey life the Patriot News’ Tim Leone has a fantastic file on the moment. It begins thusly:
“On June 7, 2007, Bruce Boudreau bused home from Hamilton, Ontario, with the Hershey Bears after they were defeated in the Calder Cup finals.
“This June, he is making a triumphant return visit to Ontario.”
You needed less than a full season with Gabby to realize what a terrific quote machine he is. Check out what Leone captures about the coach’s attempt to bring the family along to Toronto:
“When I first heard about this, I thought, ‘Wow, I’m going to get all four of my kids there and get my mom there, my bother there.’ Then we phoned and asked for tickets. They were $450 per ticket. I said, ‘You guys are all watching it on TV.’”
