Budaj to wear #30

http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=569012

Ironically last worn by the last goalie we got from the Avalanche, David Aebischer. Lets hope things go better for Budaj with it...

Haha, wow. Pretty solid choice for a goaltender's number, I guess.

You can't get a more standard goalie numbers. That and #1.
Good luck Pete.

But he would most likely not play 30 games this year.

Standard choice, hope he works out.

I like seeing the odd goalie numbers like 70.

I remember Kevin Weekes having #80 because #00 wasn't permitted in the NHL.

I think Budaj is going to be a great signing.

He has the natural talent and is a gifted athlete, and Pierre Groulx is going to work with him and lets see how good we can make him.

This is why Gauthier signed him.

IIRC, Colorado did not have a full-time goalie coach for a long time. Surely did not help.
