The One & Only
Okay, so, Montreal traded Jeff Hacket for Sundrstum or something like that right? So who the hell do we have to goalies now? I can't seem to find the information on nhl.com, and their own websites says that Theodore is the only goalie we have (which is not possible).
So, who's our backup?!?

I dunno man, we were doing AMAZING with Andy Moog (i think that was our best year), but then the jackass had to go and retire
Good luck to the HABS!!!

Just kidding, but seriously, they are just (in my opinion) a money team! If Montreal had the money/management that Detroit did, we'd have all the expensive players too

Funny thing is that the best goalie we ever had here in Montreal - Patrick Roy - lived 4 houses down the street from me for years and years when I used to live with my parents.

You know what, I should make clear what I meant. Patrick Roy TRULY was the best goalie Montreal ever had. What I actually meant was after he left, things started going downhill from there, and we started losing way too many good players (and the other ones just got too old). But, I really think from the time Roy left, Andy Moog was the next best thing (to happen to Montreal), I mean if you remember HE REALLY played good for us!! With his help we made it to the second round I believe. But whatever, some think he wasn't anything big, I just really liked him.Originally posted by Red Ketchup

If that damn American owner of the Canadians doesn't fix things up, this team is gonna go to the shitter!!! But then again, who knows, maybe he's doing this shit on purpose just so the team looks bad, and then it'll be easier to move them down to the US

Garon is actually very good, he may have better physical tools than Theodore (but Josee has the mind of steel).
Goaltending is not Montreal's problem, they have no legitimate first (or second, or third, or fourth) defenseman who can move the puck up the ice. The last player that came close was Mahlahov, and he was the number five (?) defenseman for NJ after he was traded there. Stephan Quintal is finished as an NHL player, and Brisebois is at most a fifth defensman.
Trading Hackett to SJ-Boston was absolutely moronic, the Habs don't deserve to make the playoffs after such boneheadedness.

boneheadedness INDEED!!!
But still, it would be damn nice for them to make it, it just makes my last few months of school go better
I agree, goaltending isn't a MAJOR issue (but still a minor problem, especially backup, IMO). If you think about it, we actually do have good players, Gilmour, Juneau, Koivu, Perreuat (sp?), and the list just goes on, BUT, when they play together on the ice, it seems like sometimes they haven't fully adapted to each other. Some teams you watch, and they just play so smoothly. Just this last game against Toronto (Saturday), they would make TOO many mistakes. Missed passes, couldn't read each other that well. I think they need more practice TOGETHER as a team to know how to react to each other! The whole team has to be able to FLOW on the ice like water, but they can't seem to do that (most of the time).

Garon had a shutout tonight against Washington. He now has 3 shutouts in 17 NHL games. Can't ask for any more from a backup.

on paper, the habs are middle-of-the-pack at best. I love Killer, but he's in his last season and can't put up the kind of minutes that he used to.
Montreal and Toronto have the same problem: As long as they make the playoffs, the owners turn a profit- even if they make a quick first round exit. Then there is no incentive to go out and spend the $$$ on free agents to make the club competitve for the Cup.
I would rather see Montreal miss the playoffs again so that they are forced to get some much-needed help on the blueline.

They had better play well tomorrow nite... Mtl vs Boston! Got ticks in the dark reds!Originally posted by Terinox

Wooo in your face Boston!!!
I had to admit I was a little skeptical about Garon in the nets for the habs, but WOW! Da boy sure is good! Now if only the habs had defencemen... 43 shots on goals... geez. Was kinda surprised to see the Bruins pull the goalie in a regular season game.
Oh and thank the god of freebies and "Air Canada Hospitality" level 200
