You said your able to make seperate boards for different topics. How about an Anti-Theodore board where everyone who hates theodore can go and post there as much as they want so we dont have to listen to the same crap over and over again. I dont know why people keep bringing it up. Its only been said a gazzilion fofillion babillion times!!!! Okay, theo gives out rebounds, theo goes down too soon, theo is overpaid about 2.5 million too much, theo isnt a super human who can stop every shot and be perfect every night!!! Im still yet to get a response from anyone on naming 1 goalie who has been consistant ALL season and is worth 5 million. NOT 1 GOALIE is right now. Brodeur has been crap, Hasek is on one of the best teams ever iced, Luongo isnt exactly the greatest goalie around either. And stats cant exactly tell you anything right now...especially the SV% stat. Some teams give up 10-20 more shots than others. There should be a stat for SCORING CHANCES vs Goals scored. That and its not like we're being killed out their....we're losing games by 1 goal Theo is keeping us in the game and the offense isnt producing. Look at the GF vs GA. One of the lowest GF and a top 10 GA....tell me Theo is to blame for that one? Instead of most of you blaming Theo for the losses, look at what he has to work with. A mediocre defense at best. Markov has been our best defenseman and he is at best a 3rd defenseman on a good team. Our offense cant support our defenses mistakes because of injuries and our coach is also getting a heep of blame for keeping a re-hab team above .500 and still in playoff contention...even without our top offenseman and goaltender and defensemen for a while. Im sorry but i think Claude deserves alot more than what you guys are giving him. Put yourself in his shoes. You have a team that is REALLY discouraged, no spirit, no heart, no anything really. Koivu hasnt been there Kovalev hasnt been there, theo wasnt there for a bit. You cant feel too good going out there without your top guys. Let the team re-group...then jump back on the bandwagon for god sakes and have some faith in your team!!! Koivu's back theres no excuses anymore..so if in the next month we are no longer in a play-off spot or above .500....then start calling for heads.

Well after two nights of partying/feasting celebrating the new year, back to the task at hand. What the *&^$ is wrong with this team?
Reports out of Montreal has been quiet of late. Mainly because everyone is still in vacation mode. That all change by Tuesday of this week, and heigtened with the presense of Sid the Kid in Montreal for the first Pens visit of the season.
Media scrutiny will return and Gainey will be put under the microscope now more than ever in his short stint as GM.
How can this team play so well in the first 20+ games of the season and falter lately? Is it solely injuries? Koivu was back on Saturday verses the Canes and the team still lost.
One obvious sign of trouble are shots against. They are getting outshot in every game of late.
Should be an interesting start of the season off the ice as GM Gainey will need to start doing some explaning.
