Translation: French ¬ª English
Huet cheer!
Theo! Theo! Theo!
The visit came and she went head between his legs while Jose Theodore was the victim of eight goals for the first time in his career cashing a stinging setback to 8-5 at the hands of Canadian in connection with a match crazy, but removing the possible.Et say we anticipated a duel between caretaker Theodore and Aebischer, who wanted both beat their former club‚Ä¶ What about the evening working Theo? Whether it was bad.
Good! Penalties sank the Avalanche. And it’s true then that the Canadian has scored four of his eight goals in five attacks: two for Sheldon Souray, Michael Ryder and another by Christopher Higgins.
But after watching his team give him a lead of 3-0, Jose Theodore should remain strong. He did not do so. Oh! He did not really go fir, but it has not made the job expected of him neither.
It won him to hear his name be sung in derision from beginning to end of the meeting. And to think that not so long ago, Theo! Theo! Theo! was meant was linked to sparkling performances Keeper its years of glory with the Canadian.
Jose made some big stops. He even stole a goal by Chris Higgins to gobant the puck in his big mitten in a gesture likely it is true. But when you n’arrives not to slow the bleeding, you do not work.
However, before making fun of Jose Theodore, Canadian supporters have slapped David Aebischer who, like everyone, has heard the name Cristobal Huet be chanted at the four corners of the Bell Centre after he had awarded three goals 1: 15 at the end of the first period Joe Sakic, Andrew Brunette and Paul Stastny.
Behind the bench Canadian head coach Guy Carbonneau has then been afraid that a moment of history from repeating itself. Carbo was afraid that Jose Theodore imitates Patrick Roy had come to beat the Canadiens 7-3 on March 5, 1997 in a match during which Jocelyn Thibault, obtained in return for Roy by Canadian, was expelled from the meeting‚Ä¶
Fortunately for Carbo, but also for David Aebischer, the Canadian goalkeeper was well taken and fans have changed their cover board later in the match and began to sing the name of the Swiss keeper to celebrate some of his 31 stops.
When we say that the Canadian supporters are difficult to follow and understand is that you are talking about‚Ä¶
Yes, the Canadiens took advantage of a regular evening Jose Theodore and massive attacks to win. But the victory, he fully deserved both players were able to regroup and keep confidence.
The game of the match is indeed a reflection of this confidence maintained and efforts made to better the second portion of the meeting.
After delays erased 3-0 and 4-2, the Canadiens took the lead on a beautiful goal scored by defenseman Craig Rivet. Just out of bench penalties, Rivet took advantage of a perfect pass from Saku Koivu for spinning a breakaway. He foiled Theo with a precise wrist shot in the side window blocker. A goal which should assert a chance – a small! — Take part one day in a shootout‚Ä¶
Between the lines
What about the reception given to Theo and Patrice Brisebois which disputait also a first game in Montreal since his departure to Colorado? Well, Theodore and Brisebois were welcomed by hu?©es fed from 21 273 spectators present at the Bell Centre during the exercise before the match and during the presentation of the players. The hu?©es which have gained momentum whenever Theodore made judgments or that Brisebois has touched the puck. It was good war and everything was done with “polite”. Proponents have the right to huer who they want especially since both players are now enemies.
This is the first time since January 10, 2004 that the Canadian mark eight goals in one match. The last time he had laundered the Pittsburgh Penguins 8-0 in Pittsburgh where Sheldon Souray had illustrated with a goal and a crop of six points‚Ä¶
With his two goals and two assists harvested at the expense of Theodore and the Avalanche yesterday, Sheldon Souray already has five goals and nine points in his personal record. Souray scored his five goals in attacks massive‚Ä¶
Super a massive attack with four goals scored in eight occasions, the Canadian was still very strong digital disadvantage with one goal in seven opportunities granted‚Ä¶
In scoring the first goal of the game, Joe Sakic was approached by four small points of the plateau 1500 (578 goals, 918 assists) in career‚Ä¶
The purpose of Paul Stastny was his first in the NHL. The only thing lacking that 449 to join his famous father‚Ä¶
Answers to Your Questions
AlainF m’impute a quote from Craig Rivet that the presence of a Canadian series in 2002 – I wrote 2000 and I apologize, as I wrote 2000 for the opening of the Bell Centre happened in 1996‚Ä¶ I had to hang on the turn of the century – was only due to performance of Jose Theodore and wondered why I put the Avalanche away series this season in the West.
It’s simple. Because the Avalanche is not giving me the impression they can compete with the best clubs in the West and because Jose could hardly repeat the feats achieved during this dream season‚Ä¶
Petit message to Alain Desc?¥teaux not looking I do not get the irony in using the term not knowing or lips or teeth which is an expression enshrined in these circumstances ..

cheer huet!
Th?©o! Th?©o! Th?©o!
La visite est venue et elle est repartie la t?™te entre les jambes alors que Jos?© Th?©odore a ?©t?© victime de huit buts pour la premi?®re fois de sa carri?®re encaissant un revers cuisant de 8-5 aux mains du Canadien dans le cadre d‚Äôun match de fou, mais enlevant au possible.Et dire qu‚Äôon s‚Äôattendait ?† un duel de gardien entre Th?©odore et Aebischer qui voulaient tous deux battre leur ancien club‚Ä¶Quoi dire de la soir?©e de travail de Th?©o? Qu‚Äôelle a ?©t?© mauvaise.
Bon! Les p?©nalit?©s ont coul?© l‚ÄôAvalanche. Et c‚Äôest vrai alors que le Canadien a marqu?© quatre de ses huit buts en attaques ?† cinq : deux pour Sheldon Souray, un pour Michael Ryder et un autre de Christopher Higgins.
Mais apr?®s avoir vu son ?©quipe lui accorder une avance de 3-0, Jos?© Th?©odore devait garder le fort. Il ne l‚Äôa pas fait. Oh! Il ne s‚Äôest pas vraiment fait passer de sapins, mais il n‚Äôa pas fait la job attendue de lui non plus.
?áa lui a valu d‚Äôentendre son nom ?™tre chant?© en d?©rision du d?©but ?† la fin de la rencontre. Et dire qu‚Äôil n‚Äôy a pas si longtemps, les Th?©o! Th?©o! Th?©o! qu‚Äôon entendait ?©taient reli?©s ?† des performances ?©tincelantes du gardien ?† ses ann?©es de gloire avec le Canadien.
Jos?© a effectu?© quelques gros arr?™ts. Il a m?™me vol?© un but ?† Chris Higgins en gobant la rondelle dans sa grosse mitaine dans un geste de chance il est vrai. Mais quand tu n‚Äôarrives pas ?† freiner l‚Äôh?©morragie, tu ne fais pas le travail.
Cela dit, avant de se moquer de Jos?© Th?©odore, les partisans du Canadien ont gifl?© David Aebischer qui, comme tout le monde, a entendu le nom de Cristobal Huet ?™tre scand?© aux quatre coins du Centre Bell apr?®s qu‚Äôil eut accord?© trois buts en 1 :15 en fin de premi?®re p?©riode ?† Joe Sakic, Andrew Brunette et Paul Stastny.
Derri?®re le banc du Canadien, l‚Äôentra?Æneur-chef Guy Carbonneau a alors eu peur qu‚Äôun moment d‚Äôhistoire ne se r?©p?®te. Carbo a eu peur que Jos?© Th?©odore imite Patrick Roy qui ?©tait venu battre le Canadien 7-3 le 5 mars 1997 dans un match au cours duquel Jocelyn Thibault, obtenu en retour de Roy par le Canadien, avait ?©t?© chass?© de la rencontre‚Ä¶
Heureusement pour Carbo, mais aussi pour David Aebischer, le gardien du Canadien s‚Äôest bien repris et les amateurs ont chang?© leur capot de bord plus tard dans la rencontre et se sont mis ?† chanter le nom du gardien suisse pour c?©l?©brer quelques uns de ses 31 arr?™ts.
Quand on dit que les partisans du Canadien sont difficiles ?† suivre et ?† comprendre, c‚Äôest de ?ßa dont on parle‚Ä¶
Oui, le Canadien a profit?© d‚Äôune soir?©e ordinaire de Jos?© Th?©odore et des attaques massives pour gagner. Mais la victoire, il la m?©ritait pleinement tant les joueurs ont su se regrouper et garder confiance.
Le jeu du match est d‚Äôailleurs ?† l‚Äôimage de cette confiance maintenu et des efforts mieux d?©ploy?©s en deuxi?®me portion de rencontre.
Apr?®s avoir effac?© des retards de 3-0, et de 4-2, le Canadien a pris les devants sur un but magnifique marqu?© par le d?©fenseur Craig Rivet. Tout juste sorti du banc des p?©nalit?©s, Rivet a profit?© d‚Äôune passe parfaite de Saku Koivu pour filer en ?©chapp?©e. Il a d?©jou?© Th?©o avec un tir des poignets pr?©cis dans la lucarne du c?¥t?© du bloqueur. Un but qui devrait lui valoir une chance ‚Äì une petite! ‚Äì de prendre part un jour ?† une fusillade‚Ä¶
Entre les lignes
Que dire de l‚Äôaccueil r?©serv?© ?† Th?©o et ?† Patrice Brisebois qui disputait lui aussi un premier match ?† Montr?©al depuis son d?©part vers le Colorado? Eh bien, Th?©odore et Brisebois ont ?©t?© accueillis par des hu?©es nourries de la part des 21 273 spectateurs pr?©sents au Centre Bell lors de l‚Äôexercice d‚Äôavant match et lors de la pr?©sentation des joueurs. Des hu?©es qui ont pris de l‚Äôampleur ?† chaque fois que Th?©odore a effectu?© des arr?™ts ou que Brisebois a touch?© ?† la rondelle. C‚Äô?©tait de bonne guerre et le tout s‚Äôest fait avec ¬´ politesse ¬ª. Les partisans ont le droit de huer qui ils veulent surtout que ces deux joueurs sont maintenant des ennemis.
C‚Äôest la premi?®re fois depuis le 10 janvier 2004 que le Canadien marque huit buts dans un m?™me match. La derni?®re fois, il avait blanchi les Penguins de Pittsburgh 8-0 ?† Pittsburgh o?? Sheldon Souray s‚Äô?©tait illustr?© avec un but et une r?©colte de six points‚Ä¶
Avec ses deux buts et deux passes r?©colt?©s aux d?©pens de Th?©odore et de l‚ÄôAvalanche, hier, Sheldon Souray compte d?©j?† cinq buts et neuf points ?† sa fiche personnelle. Souray a marqu?© ses cinq buts lors d‚Äôattaques massives‚Ä¶
Super en attaque massive avec quatre buts marqu?©s en huit occasions, le Canadien a ?©t?© encore tr?®s solide en d?©savantage num?©rique avec un seul but accord?© en sept occasions‚Ä¶
En marquant le premier but du match, Joe Sakic s‚Äôest approch?© ?† quatre petits points du plateau de 1500 (578 buts, 918 passes) en carri?®re‚Ä¶
Le but de Paul Stastny ?©tait son premier dans la LNH. Il ne lui en manque que 449 pour rejoindre son c?©l?®bre p?®re‚Ä¶
R?©ponses ?† vos questions
AlainF m‚Äôimpute une citation de Craig Rivet selon laquelle la pr?©sence du Canadien en s?©rie en 2002 ‚Äì j‚Äôai ?©crit 2000 et je m‚Äôen excuse, comme j‚Äôai ?©crit 2000 pour l‚Äôouverture du Centre Bell qui s‚Äôest produit en 1996‚Ä¶ j‚Äôai d?ª accrocher sur le changement de si?®cle ‚Äì ?©tait attribuable ?† seule performance de Jos?© Th?©odore et se demande pourquoi j‚Äôai plac?© l‚ÄôAvalanche hors des s?©ries cette saison dans l‚ÄôOuest.
C‚Äôest simple. Parce que l‚ÄôAvalanche ne me donne pas l‚Äôimpression de pouvoir rivaliser avec les meilleurs clubs dans l‚ÄôOuest et parce que Jos?© pourrait difficilement r?©p?©ter les exploits r?©alis?©s lors de cette saison de r?™ve‚Ä¶
Petit message ?† Alain Desc?¥teaux, non je ne cherchais pas ?† faire de l‚Äôironie en utilisant l‚Äôexpression ne pas conna?Ætre ni des l?®vres, ni des dents qui est une expression consacr?©e dans ces circonstances..

We need to BOOOO him… The guy asked a price, eventually, GMGM matched it and Cristobal decided to take the free agency route and is making RIDICULOUS $$$$ for his ability. If he really wanted to stay in DC, he would have.
I hope Ovi lights him up for 4 again (while schooling Brian Campbell), Nicky lays out Patrick Kane a couple of times and Huet gets yanked. I think the VC would go CRAZY if Huet got pulled..

Actually, since last year’s home opener was against a SE team, I was a little afraid our home opener was going to be against Tampa (so I am a little relieved). Talk about awkward.

Gotta love how the League planners played this. Could they have made this any more awkward?

@ Lee (PTO)
Huet will play the champs just once – on October 11.

I agree with “vt caps fan”, I’m gonna cheer the guy until the puck drops. Sure he got torched in half of the playoff series, but with the D practically passing the puck to the Flyers on several occassions, that couldn’t be helped. And if it weren’t for Huet’s play down the stretch, would we have even MADE the postseason?!? I think not…
Don’t worry, Huet’s signed himself up to TRY and stop the champs SIX TIMES this season (at a minimum). He’ll get what’s coming to him right there I bet unless Chicago’s D is way better than I think they’ll be this season, eh? And BTW… Olie, ya hear what I’m sayin’ here? Funny that the goalie that took Olie’s job is headed to the team that he lost to so miserably in his final action as a Capital (5-0?).
Pick ‘em ALL apart, Ovie! We want 70!

I like that the Caps get Columbus and LA twice.
