Ep.6: Chatting with Bruce Boudreau & a new edition of ‘Buy or Sell’

This week on the DFO Rundown, Jason Gregor & Frank Seravalli were joined by former Jack Adams Award winner Bruce Boudreau.

The interview with Boudreau starts around the 15-minute mark and starts with Bruce telling some stories about the move ‘Slapshot’ and his connection to it. From there, they talked about how Bruce got into coaching and how he climbed the ranks. He also touched on the firing of Claude Julien by the Montreal Canadiens and he also talked about the experience of being let go himself.

Before the chat with Bruce, the guys did another edition of ‘Buy or Sell’ which featured questions about Flames Head Coach Geoff Ward, Sabres star Jack Eichel, the starter’s crease in Montreal, the red-hot Oilers, and the struggling Canucks.
