from Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet,

“You know, anytime you're not winning on a regular basis, for coaches it's perplexing,” Boudreau told reporters. “I guess the biggest part is you can look like champions one night, and then the next night you come back and you don't look like champions, you look like the opposite. And that's the most perplexing thing for me right now. Because I've seen the best of us (and) I've seen the worst of us. I know we're going to come out of this because we have in the past all the time. But it's hard going through it.”...

“Look at, I hate being booed,” Boudreau said. “I mean, in life you hate being booed, right? And you know they have the right to do it. . . and so that's a hard pill to swallow. We'd love to be 41-0 at home and make it tough for teams to come into this building and win. But right now, that's just not happening.

“As a coach, I've never had a losing season, so I just never think that we're going to lose. I think every game we start, we're going to win. I thought going into the third period (down 3-1), if we scored one goal early that we would win the game. And if you believe otherwise, then you have no chance of winning.

“A lot of times it's not all rainbows and everything else. But I've got to believe I've got to make them think that they can win. If they don't think they can win, then there's no chance of us ever winning.”
