4 Ever The Greatest
Interesting read as Tuukka discusses various subjects such as the changes made during the offseason, how many starts he wants and 3-on-3 OT.
from sportsnet.ca:
What did you make of all the Bruins’ off-season changes?
It was bound to happen. Everybody expected us to make some changes. It’s sad to see Looch [Milan Lucic] gone and Soupy [Gregory Campbell] gone and a bunch of other people. These things happen nowadays. Teams change, and you have to deal with it. We’re going to have a great team out there, so it’s exciting.
So Johnny Boychuk leaves one summer and Dougie Hamilton the next. Boston is leaking top defencemen. Is part of you thinking, Hey, help me out here?
Not really. Losing Johnny was a big blow. I don’t think we realized how big he was until we saw him gone. He was with us until training camp. The trade happened last second. It was really frustrating for all of us, and everybody knows how good of a player he is now. We’ve got so many good, young D’s coming up that I’ll think we’ll be set.
From a goalie’s perspective, what did the Bruins lose and the Flames gain in Dougie Hamilton?
He’s really a skilled offensive, big guy. The first year he was trying to find his way in the defensive zone, and last year he got really good at it. You could tell he matured a lot and felt comfortable out there. He can play defence, but he’s really got that offensive side to him too.
