rode with Phillipe in his corvette once while going to a buddies house to play poker. hell of a nice guy.
aloha boucher. no more boucher flip.
another painful memory of giving away a Dman in his prime.
Ironic that he was last traded for another former King in Sydor. Still remember him coming with Denis Tsplikov (sp?) in exchange for Alexei Zhitnik, not too sure that was such a good trade for the Kings. Although Denis did have a great nickname, "pillows"...)
iansez - It was Denis Tsygurov, along with Boucher & Fuhr for Zhitnik, Charlie Huddy, and Robb (blueline) Stauber. You were thinking of Vladimir Tsyplakov.
Yea thats it Marc, thanks. Tsygurov was quite the "poor mans Modry" I reckon...;)
