The Old No 7 organization is a proud one, however we are not to proud to admit when we have made a mistake.
Today we part ways with Brian Boucher. We are a little embarrassed to admit this but when we signed him we thought we were getting Bobby Boucher, the somewhat retarded but lovable character from the Waterboy movie. We thought his killer instinct would transfer well to the NHL game, however we actually got a waterboy instead.
How Mr. Boucher managed to lose the starting job to some Bobo from Whogivesafuckastan is beyond us, but I guess anything is possible in the wacky world of Flyers goalies.
One of his Old No 7 teammates had this to say upon hearing of his departure:
“can’t say I’m surprised, he was even a shitty waterboy…. He couldn’t understand why no one wanted to drink from the same cup as that mono infested, crappy furniture selling loser who used to “play” here”
Brian Boucher – $1,350,000
Salary returned – $675,000
