jl-1 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 In my opinion, Bouillon is having one of his best starts to the season that I can recall. He's playing with great composure, he's physical and moves the puck pretty well out of his zone. I guess his leg injury last year really slowed him down. Good to see him play that way.

leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 he couldnt get his gun loose in that tilt with ruutu, and he knew it by his reaction afterwards Unfortuantely, Ruutu had much more height and reach than Bouillon making it difficult for him to get free and land some blows. It's just too bad Bouillon couldn't have gotten him harder on the take-down. Ruutu deserves a smack in the face for his repeated actions in the NHL, and I hope Lapierre lands a solid bodycheck on him next game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioHab Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 X-mas is right around the corner and I for one and going to write Santa and ask him to send Francis some 6" arm extentions. Then he will take care of guys like Ruutu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jl-1 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Any initial word on his injury? That was frightening. Benoit Brunet on the RDS broadcast said that they passed him a note saying that his injury wasn't serious, whatever that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 What happened to Bouillon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js2 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 What happened to Bouillon? Was standing in our end and took a puck to the throat. He dropped to the ice right away and got up quickly and went right to the bench and down the corridor/hall and was hunched over holding his neck until the trainer got to him. Apparently he's okay now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull12 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Good to hear Frank the Tank is okay! I wasn't too worried when he got up and skated to the bench but then again Zednik skated to the bench...Anyways good to hear he is doing well!

He dropped to the ice right away and got up quickly and went right to the bench and down the corridor/hall and was hunched over holding his neck until the trainer got to him. Apparently he's okay now. Just to correct that, he got hit in the cheekbone with the puck and not the throat. But he was in fact having a hard time breathing. 5 stitches later and he's doing alright. Also to quote him he said that he was really glad the puck hit him flat in the face as opposed to from the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioHab Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I am no doctor but I fail to see how getting hit in the cheek would make it hard to breathe... Anyway whatever happened I am glad to hear it is not too serious and hope he recovers quickly. Get well soon Francis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashtak Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Guh that was scary... Trent McCleary scary... But the fact he got up and ran off the ice gave me hope... Damn, that actually scared me the most. It reminded me of Zednik and kind of confirmed that he got hit right in the throat and had trouble breathing (even tho he apparently got hit on the cheek). This could have ended his career if unlucky enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he's okay now. Whoa, I watched the replay on TSN/RDS and thank goodness that wasn't worse than it was. Bouillon has been having a good start to the season and the last thing we/he needed was getting a serious injury to the face or throat. Glad he's okay!

cooch-a-mania Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Best wishes to Frank the Tank.... I dont like 2 c that from any side of the game... was very scary for a few mins.. the had a cam shot on Brisebois on the bench and he looked very concerened... but i am glad 2 hear is will b ok.. Does anyone know if he will miss any games?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Anti-Senator Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Guh that was scary... Trent McCleary scary... But the fact he got up and ran off the ice gave me hope... Trent McCleary did essentially the same thing. He skated off the ice right after the puck hit him and then collapsed in the tunnel as his throat swelled shut a few seconds later. I saw Bouillon do something similar. He skated off off the ice and did not get very far down the tunnel before he stopped. I have to admit that had me worried. Thankfully, it was not that bad and he is one tough hombre so I look forward to seeing him in the lineup tomorrow or Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
