Well, that didn’t take long. Three days after being fired by the Washington Capitals, Bruce Boudreau has landed in Anaheim to be the new head coach of the Ducks. He replaces Randy Carylye, who helped guide Anaheim to a Stanley Cup in 2007.

Rumor has it that Bruce’s first moves are to hire Gordon Bombay Bob Woods as an assistant, install the Flying V, and teach Andrew Gordon the knuckle puck.

We’re also hearing that he has a special motivational speech prepared. Here’s exclusive video of Bruce practicing it on some local youth hockey players before flying out to the West Coast.

And I’m Bruce Boudreau. Toronto, Canada.

In all seriousness, we wish nothing but the best to Gabby. Here’s hoping he can get Anaheim out of dead-freaking last and wreak some havoc on Colorado as soon as humanly possible.
