Players at Sens camp say Boucher’s message of accountability is sinking in
OTTAWA — Guy Boucher took in his first on-ice sessions as head coach of the Ottawa Senators from a balcony, preferring to get a bird’s eye view of the action.
Friday may have only been the first day of the Senators’ training camp, but Boucher wasted no time making sure the players knew they would be under his watchful eye.
“After the practice I thought we had a group that had practised real hard and the other group not as hard, good, but not as hard so we had a talk and they came out and played a real hard game,” Boucher said. “They responded.”
Hired in May, Boucher had been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to see some of his proposed line combinations in action.
