It’s been too long since I wrote an edition of the Everyone’s Favorite Goalie Watch, but what better time to bring back this feature than the occasion of former BU goalie John Curry’s 100th career AHL win.
On March 27th, Curry led the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins to a 3-2 overtime win over their storied and constant arch-rival Hershey Bears. The win clinched the East Division regular season title for the Penguins, who as of Friday night, had a 56-21 record. Curry has 22 wins in net this season, splitting his time with AHL Goaltender of the Year and former Northeastern goalie Brad Thiessen.
T0 celebrate Curry’s win over the Bears – the 100th win in his four seasons in the AHL – the team played a montage at their next game and posted it on YouTube. Thanks to the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins, I present to you the John Curry 100th win montage, complete with questionable fonts, strange lyrics, and the same sort of acrobatic saves that BU fans long for to this very day.
