Gretzky-Like Memories

Bruce Boudreau said it’s like traveling with John, Paul, George and Ringo.
“I’ve seen a lot of documentaries on the Beatles — and it looked a lot like this,” the Washington Capitals head coach said yesterday, describing what it was like in Vancouver the night before the game.
“The Canucks had just beat us and yet people are 100 deep around our bus chanting ‘Ovie! Ovie! Ovie!’ We couldn’t get up the road.
“I know it was like this with Wayne Gretzky … I’m guessing this was very Gretzky-like.”
Boudreau was asked if he ever thought he’d see this kind of reaction to a Russian hockey player in Canada.
“No,” he replied.
And he says he’s not quite sure if he wants to see it again.
