A former NHL goalie turned broadcaster, known for his colorful commentary and analysis on hockey games and sports programs.
Brian Boucher is renowned for his remarkable goaltending skills, which earned him a 13-season stint in the National Hockey League (NHL). He holds the record for the longest shutout streak in modern NHL history, an impressive 332:01 minutes achieved during the 2003-2004 season with the Phoenix Coyotes.
Boucher was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round of the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, 22nd overall. This marked the beginning of an illustrious career that would take him to various teams across the league.
In the 1999-2000 season, Boucher took the starting position from veteran John Vanbiesbrouck, helping the Flyers secure the Eastern Conference and Atlantic Division regular season titles. His exceptional performance earned him the top spot in the league in goals against average (GAA) at 1.91.
During the 2000 Stanley Cup playoffs, Boucher led the Flyers to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they ultimately lost to the New Jersey Devils. Despite the defeat, he made several memorable saves, including a five-overtime victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins and a sprawling save against Patrik Eli of the New Jersey Devils, now referred to as a "Boosh" among goaltenders.
In 2002, Boucher was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes, where he achieved his most notable feat – a record-breaking shutout streak of 332:01 minutes in the 2003-2004 season. This remarkable achievement solidified his position as one of the top goaltenders in the league.
Boucher played for several teams, including the Calgary Flames, Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, San Jose Sharks, and Carolina Hurricanes, before retiring in 2013. Following his retirement, he transitioned to a successful broadcasting career, working as a game analyst for national TNT games and Philadelphia Flyers games on NBC Sports Philadelphia.
