Those of you worried about our goaltending.
Permalink Closed


Really shouldnt be all that worrieds. Goals are up HUGE this year in the NHL. And Montreal is currently sitting in 8th for team goaltending. Pretty damn good if you ask me, especially considering the boost of goals being scored this year. Theo has been letting in some bad goals but he STILL has been winning games. He is being paid to win and thats what we have been doing. We're 4-2 whats the problem? We're not 6-0? Well in that case good teams are only good if they are 82-0 at the end of the year. You cannot compare stats anymore because this is the new NHL, things arent the same, but what you can compare is the fact that all mighty Martin Brodeur has let in 10 goals in his past 2 games against teams that really arent all that good. a 6-0 loss to the Wild and a 4-1 loss to the Rangers. And if that were to happen with him in montreal you'd all be yelling for ANOTHER goaltender! Lets just be happy with what we got. We KNOW he is good and that when he needs to he CAN carry this team and far. Accept it Theo IS elite and its much better than having say Cloutier, conklin, joseph, giguere and so on in between the pipes!

Hello JoHab. I actually watched TSN last night and must admit some pretty good goalies have some pretty crappy save percentages. Martin Brodeur being the most suprising. So I actually have to stuff a sock in my own mouth I think. Theo has been average like a lot of goalies this year so I should back off and give him some time.


I won't lie however, i've always felt Theo is a bit overrated. But I should be happy with a 4-2 record( maybe theo is saving more than most netminders), and give him a fair chance to prove me all wrong. I hope he does.
