The Florida Panthers are in last place in the east and have lost five of their last six. A couple of games ago the Panthers were bombed 7-1 by Washington. Their main netminder, Jose Theodore, is on the shelf. So is star forward Stephen Weiss. This is a game the Habs would very much like [...]

There sure were a lot of snowbirds who didn’t go to the game tonight, and I don’t know why. They lived in Canada during hockey season for most of their lives and rarely or never got to sit in a good seat at an NHL game. Now they live in the Miami area, most of [...]

The producers took away my whole reason for watching the NHL Awards show. Was there one shot in the entire hour and a half of the audience? We listened to self-described comedian Jay Mohr try to be funny, and when the nominees were read in each category, there were the three in the running standing [...]

When was the last time you saw goaltending like that? And when was the last time you felt such energy, belief, and love for the team from the great fans at the Bell Centre? The Canadiens made magic in this game six, beating the Capitals 4-1, evening the series, and creating a monstrous game seven. They won the game [...]

A little dig at Jose Theodore on YouTube, sent over by Danno. Funny stuff.

  The Montreal Canadiens have just proven wrong three-quarters of the hockey world, plus Las Vegas oddsmakers, by winning game one and not bowing out in four straight as so many had thought.

I hope you didn’t shave today. It’s playoff time. If you did, what were you thinking? The goalies are set – Halak and Theodore - and the hockey world waits for the Washington slaughter of the Habs to begin. It’s not going to be the least bit fair, no it’s not. The Caps are too big, too [...]

Another Habs goal on Jose Theodore, this one by Glen Metropolit in February. I’m just pretty sure that Pleks is right about the Habs having better goaltending. Not that I want to stir the pot – that’s Tomas’ job.

Canadian Press The Washington Capitals confirmed Thursday that goaltender José Théodore’s two-month-old son has died. The son of the former Montreal Canadien passed away last week, but the cause of death remains unknown. The Capitals issued a brief statement acknowledging the tragedy. “We are aware of the heartbreaking news,” said general manager George McPhee. “At [...]

I found an old Maclean’s magazine from 2006 the other day at work, and this little blurb was in it. “A Week In The Life Of Jose Theodore” A few days before the Colorado Avalanche goalie was to pick up his three-month-old daughter, Romi, who had been in the hospital since birth, he popped up [...]
