Reid Boucher & John Merrill Tracker: Boucher 62G, Merrill Both Join Albany

[MCDevils]

He needs 5 more goals to tie Stamkos' record of 58. The Sting have 9 more games remaining.

 

[MCDevils]

Holy Shit.

Boucher and the Sting won 13-3 tonight.

DAMN

Boucher had a 6 pt game.

4 Goals
2 Assists
+6
#54, 55, 56, 57 Tonight

Stamkos holds team record of 58. Boucher still has 8 more games and is now on pace to easily eclipse Stamkos's Total.

Cant say that I know anything about this kid..or the OHL in general , but anytime you can creep up on one of Stamkos' records ya gotta have some skill.

Anyone read any articles of what they are saying about Boucher's potential..any comparisions to other goal scorers in the league?

 

[MCDevils]

Unfortunately all the coverage of the OHL is for this year's draft crop. The sting website has a bit of coverage, but nothing in depth enough to really give you an opinion on what he's been doing so damn well. You'll be seeing a lot of stuff about him during the off season when everyone is writing their season previews (I'd look forward to Hockey'sFuture write-up and The Hockey News's Future Watch Edition). Of the limited video I've seen this kid has a pure goal scorers shot. He has the one timer, he has the accuracy, it's just going to be about putting everything together at the pro-level.

Wow. Good for him. Possible to not only break the record but smash it.

13-3 thats straight up blades of steel scoring!

your right we wont hear anything until summertime about him. i wonder if this was a ranger prospect lol they probably would be airing all the stings games until he breaks the record.

o rag!

 

[CalamityX11]

Boucher is our savior???

 

[nj_cup]

that #9 would look pretty sweet on him.

he wears #14 now if you go to the sarnia page they have some snipes.

 

[MCDevils]

The Devils broadcasts have been talking about him lately since he's been closing in on the record. LOL, the TV team just started talking about him, I shit you not.

Next game is tonight at Plymouth.

Is he eligible to play any NHL games this year? I'd like to see his performance with PROF players.

I think he might, I know he played a single game in Albany last year after the Jr season was done.

 

[MCDevils]

Boucher and the Sting were shutout last night. Their next game isn't until Mar 1, so we have a bit of a wait.

 

[MCDevils]

Reid Boucher needs 1 G to tie Stamkos's record of 58. Future looks really, really bright for this kid.

 

[MCDevils]

Boucher and the Sting winning 2-1 after the first. 2 Primary Assists so far.

 

[MCDevils]

3rd Primary Assist for Boucher.

 

[MCDevils]

Next game is tomorrow, and Sarnia is playing Saginaw, a bottom feeding team that gives up a lot of goals. I'm thinking we should try to sign this Charles Sarrault guy too at the end of the season.

 

[nj_cup]

good to see hes trying to add some helpers to try and balance it out

 

[DevilishWon]

might be rebounds to....shooters gotta shoot!

 

[MCDevils]

1 PPG tonight.

 

[MCDevils]

Hat trick still going. Up on Stamkos by 2 goals now.
