Boucher has been a successful head coach in his own right, but Crawford boasts some hardware that Boucher hasn’t yet hoisted.
Crawford won a Stanley Cup as the head coach of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-1996, in the franchise’s first season playing home games in the U.S.
The Quebec Nordiques hired him to coach the team during the lockout shortened season of 1994-1995, and the team finished with the best regular season record in the Eastern Conference.
In fact, they only finished with 11 less points than the previous season despite playing in 36 less games due to that lockout.
