Barry....I have read most of your posts and respect your hockey knowledge.  But this was a very nasty post.  Kick him when he's down why don't you.  You sound mighty happy about his downfall......a little biased arent' you?  And if it was a joke, not funny.

Mrs Hab- I think you took this completely the wrong way and if I , in any way offended you, I apologize. I am neither happy about his downfall nor am I biased. In fact I sent this post to Theo through CJ who stays in touch with him. I have met Jose Theodore and played golf with him. It was meant to be satiric and not a "kick him when he is down" thing. In fact I am sure that he will get a chuckle out of it when he sees it. Hockey players tend to joke about things when they are going bad. I will give you an example. In my last year of University Hockey I was really struggling (I am a goalie), much like Theo is this year. My confidence was horrible and I could not have stopped a beachball. One day after practice I come into the dressingroom to find a white cane and a pair of dark glasses in my stall. That was not the best part. They had gone out and borrowed a seeing eye dog from a blind student at school and he was sitting waiting for me. Some may look at that as cruel or kicking me when I was down but it is how hockey players deal with things. Ironically it took the pressure off of me and I turned my year around. The next night I got a shutout.

Or a magnetic puck that automatically hits the net right on target.

Actually your idea would be much more affective

Please accept my apology Barrie....I totally thought you were serious.  You'd think I'd know better having a hockey playing son.....sometimes I open my mouth before my brain is engaged.  No hard feelings, I hope.

Hey no offense taken here Mrs H. I just did not want you thinking I was like And- O

Thanks Nil......my last post wasn't very nice to poor Barrie.  In my defence, I honestly thought he was serious.  Honestly, some days I am such a "girl".
