The move took Boucher by surprise. “I was so badly out of position, yes, but there’s no way as the play is coming over the blue line that I’m anticipating he’s going to end up all the way on the other side to my right when it’s one-on-one,” he recalls. “I’m thinking he’s gonna rip this puck through the defenseman, and that’s why I was so aggressive when it starts.”
