On Belfour: he had one heckuva season, getting all the quality shots he did.

Kolzig/Burke: I said nothing about age as I was assessing last season, even thought Burke was mostly injured.

Cechmanek: that’s because of unrealistic media pressure. Clarke could have gotten much for him had he stayed patient.

Giguere: isn’t it playoffs that count? Theo never got there…

Vokoun: why not? He’s a lot better than some of the goalies you liked.

Hackett: yes he did, but outplayed him with the Habs. That’s enough of a reason: we’ve seen him perform better behind the same defense.

Weekes: stole games behind an erratic team. Not the Theodore 01-02 way, but anyway.

And like I said in the end, I was being overly harsh here. The “backup list”, Denis, Thibault, perhaps Cujo don’t belong here. But base on last season, the others do.

roy – retired

hasek – another year or two left before he decides to retire again

cujo – couldnt get past the first round, while playing behind one of the best defenses and the best overall team in the league

kolzig – good, but still old

khabiboulin – got replaced by grahame in the playoffs

giguere – had a good playoffs, at least theo played amazing the whole year

nabokov – maybe….. probly not

belfour – thats gotta be a joke

lalime – amazing goalie, played behind one of the best defenses in the league though….

brodeur – cant say enough bout brodeur

burke – good, getting up there in years, not overly impressed with burke though

weekes – another joke, maybe in the future

thibault – not even gonna go there

denis – gonna be good, but not as good now, and wont ever be as good as theo

turco – absolutely amazing!

cechmanek – got traded for a fourth round draft pick

roloson – nope

dunham – another good goalie, again, not great

vokoun – not a chance

luongo – love this guy, wouldnt put him above theo though

hackett – got traded in favour of theo

not even gonna mention your list of backups you got there in the second bit.

so, brodeur, and turco. 2 goalies i would take over theo from your list of 26

theo’s 931 save pct made him only the second goalie in history to post a save pct above 930 (hasek), turco did it last year too.

montreal’s defense over the past few years has been the absolute worst in the nhl, by far

you got brisebois as your number 1, you got a problem

It shows.

Man, you should watch a hockey game some day.
