Boucher skates, could return

BrianBoucher 300x196 Boucher skates, could returnPhiladelphia Flyers goaltender Brian Boucher left the ice 13 days ago with two busted up knees. It was in the middle of Game 5 as the Flyers were desperately trying to come back from a 3-0 series deficit to the Boston Bruins.

Boucher was twisted under a pileup that saw him get a Grade 2 sprain on his left knee. The right knee was also injured and Boucher could barely make it off the ice.

But, Boucher was out there on the practice ice this morning, skating and working with goaltender coach Jeff Reese. While he’s not ready to come back just yet (and if/when he does, he’s not starting over Michael Leighton at this point), he’s farther along than anyone who watched his injury incident thought he’d be.

It would be so good to get back in the locker room,” Boucher said. “It would be so good to get back with the guys. It really is so painful right now, being on the outside, looking in.”

“They never told me my season was done, and I’m not acting like it is.”

Boucher isn’t pushing it too hard, but he is getting a little bit of work and ice time.

“There was no going down, no taking shots,” he said. “The last 2 days, I took some shots but only in a really controlled setting. Every day so far, I’ve made progress. Each day, there haven’t been any setbacks.”

  2. I’m really to be finally posting online after all these years. There really is no mystique (sp) about it, is there? I just dropped by your blog and had to write something. I’m a recent college grad, journalism major if you must know, and I love photography. I’ve got my website up but it’s nothing to boast about yet. None of my stuff’s been posted. Soon as I figure out how to do that, I’ll spend the afternoon posting my best pictures. anyhow just thought I’d drop a line. I hope to return with more substantial stuff, stuff you can actually use.

  3. Hello, my group is just establishing our first website, searching and working out what is needed. This blog stuck out right away. I’m fired up about this, and adore the design of your site. Are you able to let me know what “theme” it is?

  4. Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information.

    Great thought. Thanks for sharing. But staying away from drugs require will power. Not many really have this. If you have suggestions here, please let others know on that too.
