The Critic Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 FIVE consecutive shutouts! 325-plus minutes of shutout hockey and COUNTING - a new NHL record! Here's a guy who was third on his own team's depth chart, and didn't even PRACTICE with the team for a while - the Coyotes had the two other goalies practice with the team and Boucher had to take shots from coaches after practice. He only got to play when Sean Burke got injured. He's really caught lightning in a bottle - I'm curious to see how long he can keep it going.

southsider2k5 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 How unbelieveable is that? I watched the highlights from last night, and there were some incredible saves he made. And actually he has a shot at the all time record that was established before there were red lines in hockey in 1943. If he gets one more shutout he goes into second, and two more (IIRC) he gets into first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxin' Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Hopefully his mom will let him go for the more shutouts, she might think hockey is too dangerous for her little boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I picked him up when he had 2 shutouts in a row, figured he was a hot goalie, but I didn't know he'd be this hot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I was at the game that started the streak. Holy smokes. He had some incredible saves, and he's just kept rolling. Confidence is a funny thing in hockey (well, any sport). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Tonight Boucher will have to earn it, if he is to have #6. He gets to match up with Ilya Kovalchuk and the Atlanta Thrashers on ESPN tonight. My advice is for anyone who has not gotten to watch Atlanta and Ilya play, watch this game and watch THE most exciting player in the NHL today, bar none.

I think that Datsyuk is a little better to watch than Kovalchuk, but yeah this kid is falt out a montser on the ice... he has the smoothest hands, and has a real quick release on his shot...

I have seen plenty of Datsyuk between ESPN and Hawks games, and I think Ilya is more exciting. But I got nothing against Datsyuk either.
