BIOGRAPHY
- BORN: January 1, 1977, Woonsocket, Rhode Island.
- HOME:
- HEIGHT: 6'1"
- WEIGHT: 180-190 lbs.
- UNIFORM #: 33 (Philadelphia, Phoenix, Calgary, San Jose), 35 (San Antonio, Columbus), 31 (Chicago), 1 (Philadephia AHL 2007-08), 34 (Adirondack AHL).
- CATCHES: Left
- HIGH SCHOOL: Mount St. Charles (Woonsocket, RI), Kamiakan (Kennewick, WA)
- JUNIOR TEAM: Tri-City Americans WHL.
- STYLE:
- STRENGTHS: Aggressive with the stick; using it to keep the front
of his net clear, protect the side-net passing lanes and throwing the
occasional poke-check. Sound footwork and good balance. Does not waste any
movement. Recovers well after falling for a deke, and never quits on the
play.
- WEAKNESSES: Inconsistent. Tries to do too much in passing and shooting the puck.
- HIS MASK: "It's two fighter pilots in the cockpit of a plane.
They've got a mean smirk and goggles as in the old days. The plane's going
down the side with bullet holes in it. I didn't know what to do; I didn't
know what the word Flyer meant, so I talked to the painter. Phlly is best
known for cheesesteak but I don't think I could put a cheesesteak on my
mask." (ESPN The Magazine, 1/21/02, p. 104)
Name pronounced boo-SHAY.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
"G Brian Boucher, a No. 1 pick in 1995, had 33 wins in the WHL. He's just
waiting for Hextall to call it quits." (ESPN
Hockey 96, p. 68)
"The first-ever goalie chosen in the first round by the Flyers has been
tabbed the eventual No. 1 man for the Flyers and hasn't disappointed. He
was the Western League's goalie of the year last season and also excelled
at the World Junior Championship. This season, he is helping guide the
Phantoms to AHL supremacy. "Every year he has moved up," [Philadelphia
scouting director John] Blackwell said. "Considering his record with the
Phantoms as a first-year pro, we just expect that he will continue to improve."
(Wayne Fish, The Hockey News Future Watch 1998)
"Boucher came off a decent first season as understudy to veteran Neil Little
on the AHL champion Phantoms. But knee problems popped up early this season
and he has only gotten into 22 games in his second professional season.
Boucher has extensive experience in international junior tournaments and was
considered one of the top American-born goalie prospects. But now he faces
rehab work on his knees and a challenge from Pelletier for ice time heading into the AHL
playoffs." (Wayne Fish, The Hockey News Future Watch 1999)
"Now considered Philly's second goaltending prospect after
Pelletier, Boucher was slowed by knee troubles
that sidelined him for nearly half the 1998-99 schedule. Nonetheless, he
plays a confident brand of goaltending and has improved considerably.
Boucher needs to come up big this year in order to remind the Flyers why
they picked him the first round in 1995." (The Sports Forecaster 1999-2000,
p. 115)
"Flyers have found their man. Young goalie proved to all onlookers he can
handle the pressure." (The Sports Forecaster 2000-01, p. 37)
"Flyers management was so impressed with Boucher late in the 1999-2000 regular
season that it awarded him the hefty task of entering the playoffs as the
No. 1 man between the pipes. And, what a job the rookie netminder did. The
Flyers' MVP during the postseason, he was equally brilliant during the regular
season, posting a 20-10-3 won-loss record to go along with a league-leading
1.91 goals-against average. Is Boucher the goaltender Philadelphia has so
desperately sought for the past five years? Chances are he is."
(The Sports Forecaster 2000-01, p. 104)
"The Flyers have entrusted Boucher with the task of backstopping them to
their first Stanley Cup since 1975. Has tremendous pressure on his
shoulders in 2000-01, especially for a sophomore goaltender. Was
positively Hasek-like in the 1999-2000 Stanley
Cup playoffs, especially during the conference finals against the New
Jersey Devils. Has the ability, as well as the determination, to become
one of the NHL's elite goaltender. Netminding is no longer a concern in
Philly." (The Sports Forecaster Online 2000-01)
"After a scintillating playoff run two seasons ago, Boucher was supposed
to take over as the Flyers' starting goaltender for the next decade.
Unfortunately, he bombed early on last year and watched from the bench
as Roman Cechmanek took over the reins and
never looked back. Boucher has the talent to be a No. 1 goalkeeper
in the NHL. However, he must improve on the mental aspects of the game.
Too often, he lets a bad goal nag him. Barring a trade, Boucher could
wind up doing more sitting this season." (The Sports Forecaster 2001-02,
p. 106)
"Instead of challenging for the starting gig in Philadelphia, Boucher will
most likely serve as Sean Burke's understudy in
2002-03. With the Flyers, he spent the past three seasons trying to secure
the No. 1 role. While he did show potential, he needs more work. In
Phoenix, he'll be given 20-30 starts with far less pressure to perform.
His long-term potential is higher than that of his predecessor,
Robert Esche, but he needs to find consistency.
There is no current timetable for Boucher to take over a No. 1 role.
Nevertheless, his future is brighter now that he has escaped the Philly
fishbowl." (The Sports Forecaster 2002-03, p. 208)
"It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. So went the Dickensian
tale of Brian Boucher in 2003-04. In November, he wasn't even practicing with
the team. After Christmas, he produced a five-game shutout streak to set a new
NHL record. Then, he faded down the stretch. He must show consistency."
(The Sports Forecaster 2005-06, p. 99)

THE SHUTOUT STREAK:
- On January 7, 2004, Brian became the first National Hockey League goaltender in nearly fifty-five years to record four consecutive
shutouts, making twenty-seven saves in the Phoenix Coyotes' 3-0 victory over the Washington Capitals at the MCI Center. "It's pretty
unbelievable," Boucher said after the game. "Hopefully, I can ride it through until Friday."
- On January 9, 2004, with a twenty-one save effort against the Minnesota Wild at the Xcel Energy Center, Brian broke
Bill Durnan's modern National Hockey League record for consecutive shutouts with a 2-0 victory. Durnan's
consecutive shutout streak was broken early in the third period - "I did look up at the clock," said Boucher. "Once I saw it was, I think,
four minutes into the third, I knew I could breathe easy as far as the streak is concerned. That is probably the first time I really
was counting down. I hate to do that, but I don't know if anyone could ignore it. I'm happy that was over and then we could focus on
just winning the game." Richard Park had four of Minnesota's shots, including a one-timer midway through the second period that ricocheted
off Boucher's right leg after a perfect setup pass from Sergei Zholtok. Replays showed Park turning around, wide-eyed in disbelief that
his shot was denied. "That's a goal 9.9 out of 10 times," Park said. "I got the shot off I wanted, but it's remarkable the swagger he's
got in the net, the confidence."
- On January 11, 2004, the streak finally ended for Boucher. At 6:16 of the first period, in Phoenix's home game against the
Atlanta Thrashers, Randy Robitaille fired a slap shot from the blue line which glanced off the chest of Phoenix defenseman David Tanabe
and into the net. "I don't think it would have hit the net if it didn't hit me," Tanabe said. "It if wasn't for that bounce, he could
have had another shutout." With the deflection, Boucher had no time to react and block the shot. "A fluky goal," he said. "That's how easily
a goal can go in. The fact that it didn't happen for five-plus games is pretty amazing."
After the score, the sold-out crowd at the Coyotes' new Glendale Arena stood and cheered Boucher's record. Play stopped and the Phoenix bench
emptied as the players congratulated the goalie while the big screen showed highlights of the streak. In the end, Boucher's streak lasted for
332 minutes, 1 second, including 146 consecutive saves. The game resulted in a 1-1 tie, with Boucher making twenty saves.
