Poll: Is Boudreau the right coach to lead Anaheim to a championship?

That was Mike Milbury and Keith Jones dissecting Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau after losing Game 7 of the 2015 Western Conference Final to the Chicago Blackhawks. That defeat reduced Boudreau’s record in Game 7s to 1-6, which is particularly noteworthy given that no other bench boss has ever lost six Game 7s.

That’s led to people questioning if Boudreau is the type of coach that can led his team to victory in the big games, which is vital if the goal is a championship. At the same time, Boudreau has a phenomenal 363-167-69 regular season record and has gotten his growing squad further in the playoffs with each recent campaign. So is too much being made of one poor statistical?

For his part, Boudreau doesn’t feel those Game 7 losses were because of him specifically.

“I got to believe that it isn’t (reflective of anything),” Boudreau told Sportsnet’s Fan 590 back in June. “People love to relay bad stats to people, but seven games have gone to a Game 7. I don’t win them and I don’t think I’m losing them.”

Do you agree with his assessment?
