Brian Boucher - the moment is yours

In search of the end-goal (Championship), we should also be able to savor little moments along the way, maybe even moreso if the championship isn't going to happen.

Tonight, after a telescopic shot by Claude Giroux, Brian Boucher had the ability to single-handedly assure the Flyers trip to the playoffs. Boucher has been criticized a lot lately and his play has been very unpredictable. But never could a moment provide a more basic referendum on an individual's season than this one did. Save/no save. Win/lose. Winner/loser. Well, Boucher saved, won and is thus a winner, and a hero of the moment for history.

True, this will likely just serve to momentarily preserve a season which may not have deserved to be prolonged, but the moment was worth having.
