Nope, I played the game since I was younger, but I didn't jump on board the Flyers wagon until 04.
**EDIT**
Just to clarify I think Boosh is a good dude, I'm glad he landed on his feet today after a rough play-offs and I hope he does well. I was a little harsh earlier, but I still think he's a poor tender.
How you going to hate on Boosh? He is a great back up goalie who had unreasonable expectations placed upon him. They have a solid number 1, and Boosh was a great acquisition in the back up role. Just as he was here until asked to be a playoff hero...
While he was performing this fist pump kick thing, he was saying ******* you Henrik Lundqvist, quoted from him after the game while my buddy and I were doing shots with him. He really is a great guy.
im not hating on boosh, im a fan, just know to never get too comfortable with him. Good signing for the Canes, Ward is prolly still tired from last season. I think they played him 25 in a row down the stretch. Boosh can take some load off.
Brian Boucher is a good backup goaltender. with emphisis on backup goaltender. He should not be any teams playoff starter. period.
I would have taken him back had we not had Bobrovsky.
Using some Google-Fu, it means Back Stabbing Rat *******, a term used on a different forum for several Flyers thought to be involved in a coup to get Bill Barber fired.

It's a shame some of you people still can't recognize what a good backup Boucher was. He should have never been starting when it mattered, but he generally stepped up when needed.
Good backup, thanks for your service, good luck in Carolina.

Brian Boucher is not a quality goalie. He's just barely a top 60 in the NHL now. I found it amazing he's lasted as long as he has. I honestly think he'll be fine playing behind Cam Ward. One mistake Carolina made tho was signing him for over $900 000. He's worth no more than the $650 000 Andrew Raycroft is making. That's forsure.
