ANAHEIM, Calif. – Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau pulled a Van Halen in overtime of Anaheim’s 3-2 Game 5 second-round series clinching win over the Calgary Flames. His feet somehow caught air, after defenseman Francois Beauchemin sailed a shot wide of the net.
“I jumped a solid four inches and said, 'Well maybe I’m not so calm,' I better settle down here,” Boudreau said.
Go ahead, JUMP!
Whether he could make it past the second-round has been a long-standing question with Boudreau. He could never do it with some of his most powerful Washington Capitals teams from 2007-08 through 2011-12 before he got fired.
