What kind of legacy does Guy Boucher have with the Tampa Bay Lightning?

Is it the Tampa Bay Lightning’s lone postseason trip since 2007, their run to the Eastern Conference Final in 2010–11?

Is that the same 1-3-1 lineup that Tampa ran so well that the Philadelphia Flyers even mocked them on national TV by refusing to move the puck?

Is it still going strong after all this time, even with a general manager attempting to mimic the Detroit Red Wings’ “goaltending on the cheap” model without Nicklas Lidstrom contributing 25 minutes a night?

Is it the scar, whose exact origin Boucher purposefully omitted? Since women like to see scars…

No, Guy Boucher’s face is most likely his legacy. As in the visage of Guy Boucher. As in the rubbery mug reminiscent of Jim Carrey that would yell, frown, brood, and taunt from the Tampa Bay bench. That is, when he was in the Martian atmosphere and his eyeballs were protruding out of his skull like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Is there really a single NHL coach who has ever been punished for giving the officials the finger?

Guy Boucher, wherever your face lands up next, I bid you farewell.
