Boudreau: “They have been Within the hunt and if you happen to take a look at it, is 2 years in the past they have been within the hunt until January, perhaps until the All-Atar Break. After which final yr they have been within the hunt until April. I believe maturity. Them understanding Torts, the way in which he’s and never having, okay with this man, we’ve heard lots about him sort factor.
I imply, they know precisely what they need. I believe they might shock. They’re going to be an enthusiastic workforce. They’re going to, you already know, they’re going to be youthful. They’ve acquired the younger Russian coming over, and I believe he’s a hell of a talented participant. We’ll see how he offers with this complete sport of getting to play a 200-foot sport and perhaps blocking the odd shot or two.
However I imply, I do imagine that the Flyers are on the way in which up. Drysdale being there for a yr now, and being wholesome to begin, I believe goes to be an enormous addition. So it’s all these items to me, make it suppose that it’s about time the Flyers acquired again into the hunt.

So perhaps they’re simply younger goalies, they usually’re able to hit the prime time proper now. However I imply, in the event that they imagine in them, they know them actually an terrible lot higher than I do. So, I acquired to associate with them.”
