Before the tournament started, even before Boyd was named to the selection camp, nevermind the team, I had an opportunity to talk to him about Anton Khudobin and Russian netminders in general.
Granted, Boyd was fresh from the CHL - Canada/Russia Challenge, where Khudobin had a massive goals against average and a save percentage under .800.
Here's what he had to say.
“I’d have no problems if we were to face the Russians and (Khudobin) was in net."
“I think he’s a goaltender we could get to. I definitely think we’d have an advantage because we’ve all seen him a few times (in the WHL) already and know his weaknesses.â€
I guess he was right.
