Who could have guessed Theodore was going to be this bad... I was not happy when we signed him over Huet, but you had to assume he was going to be an upgrade over Kolzig last year. Im not to mad at GMGM for signing Theodore, more mad at Jose for giving us a piss poor effort and stealing teds money.
As an Avs fan, I sympathize with you Cap fans. Theodore gives flashes of brilliance, as he occasionally stole games for us. Inevitably however, he reminds you that he is no longer the consistent player he was before getting traded from the Habs. He's one of the most frustrating goalies.
Bad period. Nobody showed up. This team plays different with Johnson in net then they do with Theodore.
They always played much tighter defensively under Johnny than Kolzig. The end result was that we never used to give Johnny the goal support we gave Kolzig.

I am. We'd be in even worse Cap hell if we signed Huet.
The team looks flat and absolutely can't get away with it, especially with so many regulars out. If the first period is any indication, the rest will be a cakewalk for the Rangers.
Rangers have been playing like a starving dog on a bone. They've got their 3 goals so maybe now they'll let up a bit and with a goal tender change we will come back. It's not over 'til it's over.

This is the same team I watched give the Sharks all they could handle at home Sat night.
Way to have the boys fired up and ready to play Bruce.
