    I always wondered where he went … Le Chiffre

  2. Thorlolita

    He was incredible until everyone realized that they weren’t going to attack until they had the puck. Made his system really predictable. That senators team was giving Pittsburgh fits and nearly won a cup becuase of it.

    The future coach of your 2023-2024 Toronto Maple Leafs rofl

  4. CheesyCousCous

    Leafs gonna Leaf though, so what’s the point?

  5. 0bl1v10n204

    Congratulations! I’ve always liked this guy and always hoped we’d get him as either an AC or HC (before Marty)

  6. ChocklateshipCookie

    Underrated? Dude is okay, but is way too attached to the 1-3-1 system.

  7. snark_enterprises

    Should’ve hired him as their HC and dump Keefe.

  8. Spookedchicken

    Does anyone else get the feeling that Boucher is a good assistant in his own right but is 90% getting hired as an insurance policy in case Treliving needs to fire Keefe midseason?

    As a bolts fan, bad memories of the 1-3-1, and the fateful flyers game.

    As a Sens fan, his tenure will be forever remembered for his “we never practice because rest is a weapon” 🙄

  11. So Leafs lose in conference finals this year, and miss the playoffs next year

  12. bankrobba

    Oh, thank god, Leafs front office news. Can’t wait to hear who the assistant to the traveling secretary is going to be.

  13. Mangoes95

    No, no I think he’s appropriately rated. He had a pretty predictable system on every team he coached and it’s flaws were eventually exposed which is why he lost his job and hasn’t coached in years

  14. Flyguyflyby

    Well shit, just give the Leafs the Cup now!

  15. Prestigious-Ad-6808

    Looks like if Elon Musk, Putin & Al Capone had a baby

  16. No_File7667

    Everyone likes him now that he’s not with the Sens.

    ​

    When he was there everyone hated him and his 1-3-1 but it’s ok now since you know…. Leafs

  17. reggythriller

    Can’t wait for the first big losing streak, Keefe fired and replaced by Boucher.

  18. Toronto is really leaning into the evil empire look.

  19. DudeHerren

    The most boring coach (playstyle wise) but he was more or less successful with it for the era. But he is not underrated

  20. ratrink

    There’s a Le Chiffre/Sheldon Keefe joke in here somewhere

  21. Dr_Smuggles

    Interesting. I like him personally. But, I wonder how he will. Be as an assistant coach. I know he has sort of his way he likes to do things. But assistant coach will have to work within the coaches way of doing things.

  22. trytobenicepei

    Future head coach of the team, for sure. Leafs suck, but he’s a real coach.

  23. Dry-Honeydew2371

    I always thought this guy left the league to kill James Bond.
