Boudreau To Stars: "Cut It Out"






This past Saturday, the Washington Capitals looked like a team of zombies as they wandered aimlessly around the HSBC Arena during a 5-0 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.

The next morning Capitals coach, Bruce Boudreau was less than pleased as he called a team practice on what was previously supposed to be an off day. When approached by the media, the coach chose not to bite his tongue as he called out his star players.

"If they're not going to work to our standards during the game, then they're going to work that hard during practice," Boudreau said. "Everyone would have loved to have had Sunday off and relax and enjoy themselves. But this isn't a country club."

When I saw Bruce singling out players like Mike Green and Alexander Semin, I just had a flash back to an episode of 'Full House' when fun Uncle Joey had to discipline D.J. for not calling home when she was late after school. Joey told her that she wasn't allowed to go to her Karate tournament the following weekend, and needless to say, D.J. was U-P-S-E-T!

It looks like the fun is over... Uncle Boudreau is cracking down on the Tanner's.

My favorite aspect of watching hockey is the funny names... like "Semin" and "Satan". I am international, and all; but it still wets my thong.
