I honestly have no idea if you are a true NHL starting goaltender or merely the product of a solid defensive corps that played in front of you every night.
What I do know is this: everytime you found yourself back in the mix of things last season, the fortunes of the Philadelphia Flyers turned on a dime. Talk about intangibles.
Without your consistent play in 2009-10, Brian Boucher's shootout heroics in game no. 82 would hold no meaning today, nor would the image of his exuberant celebration be permanently seared into my grey matter.
So, it's farewell for now.
With a fan in Peter Laviolette, a $1.55 million contract in 2011-12, and the impending free agency of Brian Boucher, I have the feeling we haven't seen the last of you in an orange, black and white sweater.
