jimdahl Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 The Coyotes' backup netminder, Boucher, is riding 4 consecutive shutouts (tying the NHL record from 50 years ago), over four and a half hours, 265:46, of shutout. The last three games have been on the road. Friday he travels to Minnesota, 43:46 shy of the all-time shutout record set in 1949. Meanwhile, the offensively slumping Wild broke out for a franchise best 7 goals last game. Will the Wild score on Boucher within 43:46 at Xcel? Quote
WPoS Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 you BET! The Wild NEED to continue the offense! At least I hope they do! WPoS Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 wow, that is one heck of a streak. very impressive Quote
WPoS Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 lets just say it is a 0-0 game 44 minutes into the game before the Wild score, so you Sioux fans stay happy! WPoS Quote
redwing77 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 I'm saying this so that the Wild can prove me wrong. I say the shutout streek stays intact until well into the Third Period. I have not been impressed with the Wild offense at all this year. Their defense is pretty good, but they need to get things going if they are going to get anywhere this season. The Coyotes are streaky but they seem to be doing well with Boucher. I think they'll continue winning until the scoreless streak is snapped. Again, the Wild will break the shutout streak. Just not until he set the record. NOW: Comon wild, prove me wrong. Everyone else has at least once. Quote
Goon Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 I find it funny that Philly didn't want him. Quote
redwing77 Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 I find it funny that Philly didn't want him. What's even funnier is that they chose Chechmanek over him and then, after putting up one of the best GAA and save % in the NHL, they run him out of town too. Philadelphia deserves Esche and Hackett, perhaps one of the most blase' tandems in the NHL along with Boston, Columbus, and Carolina. I leave out the Rangers out of respect for PCM. Quote
Wilbur Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT SHUTOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That ought to jinx him. Quote
PCM Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 I leave out the Rangers out of respect for PCM. The Rangers don't want anyone who's not over 40, weighs at least 225 pounds and walks with a limp. Heck, I think I could make their team. Quote

Everyone else has at least once. yah, they have not been a very offensive team except in the catagory of stinking up the non-scoring catagory...next time I see my neighbor I just may have to sieve him for not scoring more. Considering where they were last year...maybe it is a curse of Minn teams this year...have a good year last year and then not be able to find themselves this year. WPoS Quote

jimdahl Posted January 10, 2004 Author Posted January 10, 2004 2nd intermission Phoenix 1 Minnesota 0 Boucher is 3:46 from one hell of a record. So far in his streak he has stopped 119 consecutive shots. Unfortunately, I'm on my way out the door in about 10 mins Quote
Greyeagle Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 1-0 Phoenix after two. Boucher is well on his way to breaking the record but it hasn't been easy for him, they Wild have had several good chances. I think Richard Park is going to be seeing open shots in his sleep. Quote
WPoS Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 WOW! Congrats to the fans! a record like that is one to be proud of! Dang Wild...someone is gonna get seived if they drive by today and I see them! WPoS Quote

Add to that the Roman C great goaltender sent off to LA and Hacket basically shown the door in Boston because he sucked so bad... I am not sure how that is a up grade. Quote
redwing77 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Streak ends at almost 7 minutes into the game vs. Atlanta. Total minutes 332:01 of shutout hockey. Game ends in a 1-1 tie. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Great streak for Boucher, that is definitely a very difficult record to achieve. Quote
