On this Halloween episode of BSH Radio, the gang discusses potential revenge against Toronto for the Ghost injury, Sean Couturier’s continued offensive explosion and the progress the rookie defensemen have made in the season’s opening month.

All stats via Corsica.Hockey, Natural Stat Trick, and NHL.com 1. Slow starts forever, but maybe getting better? Am I beating a dead horse, here? Why do I…
Remember Brian Boucher? He’s the guy who came on in relief of Michael Leighton last Wednesday and promptly gave up 2 goals on his first 3 shots. Maybe that’s because he hadn’t seen playing time in exactly two months – January 3rd. It seems completely reasonable that Boucher would be a little rusty after not…
