Reed Boucher: “Episodes with fights are more likely to benefit Avangard”

On Friday, January 27, in Omsk, Avangard played the KHL championship match against Dynamo Moscow and won in overtime. The score of the meeting is 3:2. The match was appreciated by the author of the decisive goal of the “hawks” Reid Boucher.

According to the legionnaire, he does not have a recession in recent matches, although, indeed, he has begun to score a little less points.

– Fans think that in recent matches you do not play as brightly as you can. Agree? If yes, how can you explain it?

– I can’t say that myself. Nothing has changed in my work on the ice, yes, perhaps I haven’t scored so many points yet, but nevertheless, we all work, we try, we will continue in the same spirit.

– Many opponents could already read your style in throws, attack, so they try to find an antidote and they have something, and sometimes it works out. Do you come up with something new for the playoffs that will surprise and confuse them in the end?

– I wouldn’t say so, because my actions still bear fruit throughout my career as a whole, it’s hard to come up with something transcendent here. But something new may appear. Time will show.

– In the second and first periods there were a lot of fights, rudeness. There was anger on both sides. I personally had fears that such negativity would ultimately harm Avangard and, on the contrary, would play in favor of Dynamo. Agree? Have you personally had such feelings? Has it come true?

– No, I absolutely disagree. Most often, these episodes are useful! This is how we show our unity, we stand as a mountain for each other. I think it’s good for everyone to see. This is clearly more of a positive impulse.

In the KHL scorer race, Busche is now in 14th place (42 points in the goal + pass system (25 + 17).
