Flunky Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Good luck in the Music City Beef. I'm really gonna miss you kid. Small in stature but huge in heart. I'd like to dedicate the Hank Sr. classic "There's a Tear in my Beer" to the gone but not forgotten Francis Bouillon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gracie12 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I believ bonk is stil playing for there team Actually, he's still UFA. If we didnt have such a log jam at 3rd & 4th line centre, id consider offering a contract - he can be a PK machine and Martin really got the best out of him for several years. Plus, now we have Mara for the beard quota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny_canuck_21 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I put the following in the playoff thread for Chicago & Nashville, but I think that Bouillon needs to be recognized in his own thread as well. It seems that he is doing ok, & is excellent value for the money he is getting. Shift of the night: Francis Bouillon, the NHL's shortest defenseman at 5-foot-8, got the crowd into the game and helped to set a physical tone with two huge hits on one shift late in the first period. He knocked 6-fioot-1 Colin Fraser several feet off his feet with one of them, leading to a scrum near the Blackhawks bench that ended with Chicago's Tomas Kopecky taking an elbowing penalty in retaliation. Good old Bouillon. Read down to the end of the article. He also played 22:08, second on the Preds only to Dan Hamhuis' 22:22. http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2009030163 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franck5890 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I totally had forgotten he had signed with Nashville until watching this series, and I only noticed him on the ice because he's been an absolute fireball of energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Saw Soupy deliver many a hit just like that when he was a Hab. Then we decided our D was too small so we signed ourself's a monster ( non hitter) like Gill ( NOTE: this is not a Gill put down). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franck5890 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Yeah, that was exactly the problem. If I recall, Bouillon was pretty well liked for the most part (although many felt he was overpaid), but the wear-and-tear of a long, physical season was often evident in that he was less and less effective as the season progressed.

Hawker_mtl Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I loved Bouillon's attitude and scrappy play. I remember a few big hits when he was with us (the link above is a great example!). However, by the time he left he was incredibly prone to bad giveaways and poor decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
