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…
It’s all about the image, and Peter Laviolette, as a coach of a team down 0-2 in the Stanley Cup Finals, was very cognizant of that image on Tuesday’s off day. Joking around with the media, Laviolette gave the impression that the Flyers are not under any pressure despite the 0-2 hole they face. Just…

[Boxscore] – [Wire Recap] – [SBN Game Page] – [Boston Reaction] [Corsi and Fenwick] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [EV Face-Offs] – [Shift Charts] Because Ben, Travis, and I were at the game tonight, we’re doing a recap by committee. As the first one home – but sick – I opted to simply answer the questions….
[Box Score] – [Wire Recap] – [SBN Game Page] – [Dallas Reacion] [Corsi and Fenwick] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [EV Faceoffs] – [Shift Charts] Welcome back Brian Boucher! In his first start since December 21, 2009, Boucher came back strong, with plenty of great saves in this one. He officially stopped 27 of 29, but…
