The Ducks were one of many teams who made a claim on Brian Boucher of the Waivor and came out the winner of the sweepstakes.
As soon as he was placed on the roster negoiations began with
Quan Representation the agent of Boucher. Everything ran smoothly with the contract details with an extended contract hammered out in minutes.
The team went out and found out a few things about Brian to enjoy his stay one being.
Among his routines, Brian tries to eat penne pasta with vodka sauce before every game. The Ducks plan to have this meal prepared each game for him by world renowned chef Wolfgang Puck.
On January 7, 2004, Brian became the first National Hockey League goaltender in nearly fifty-five years to record four consecutive shutouts.
Hopefully he can bring this magic back for the ducks in the coming years.
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.What more can you ask of a goalie?
