![Guy Boucher’s tactics may have led to his dismissal by the Senators](https://cdn.buminteractif.com/2023/07/guy-boucher-1.jpg)
In his first season with both clubs, he saw his team eliminated in the conference finals, while in his second full year, he didn’t make the playoffs.
In the third year of each reign, that’s when he was fired.
According to The Athletic, during the 2017-2018 season, Guy Boucher’s team took part in just 49 training sessions over the course of the season, or less than two per week.
It just doesn’t make sense. I’m willing to believe that rest is important and that you shouldn’t burn out your players, but less than 50 training sessions in 185 days is borderline absurd.
The results weren’t coming, and general manager Pierre Dorion was no longer able to hear about the famous ” rest is a weapon “.
“If I hear one more time that rest is a weapon, I’m going to go crazy. – Pierre Dorion
I hope for his sake that he has learned from his mistakes and won’t impose rest on Sheldon Keefe’s troupe. It could cost him his job… again.

– Ivan Demidov is projected as one of the top three prospects for the 2024 draft, along with Cole Eiserman and Macklin Celebrini.
The truly insane thing about Ivan Demidov (#91 in Blue) is that on top of having elite hands, great vision and solid offensive skill… he’s also engaged and intelligent defensively.
He has no business defending the rush as well as he does on the PK here. #2024NHLDraft pic.twitter.com/rphI74n96A

– Interesting.
Whether it’s being overshadowed by their teammates or the rest of the #NHL‘s top players, these six players deserve more hype for their impressive efforts, writes @JLStoller.https://t.co/C4auk7UkYJ
