question for avalanche fans?

Where have you been Shue? It's good to have you back asking questions again.

As for Jose Theodore...I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in Nashville. Yep, Predators and I will tell you why: there is no pressure whatsoever to perform there. Theodore crashed and burned in Montreal because he was forever in the looming shadows of Jacques Plante, Ken Dryden, and Patrick Roy. Surprise, surprise...guess who's shadow Theodore is playing under in Colorado (I'll give you a hint: it's not Mark Denis!)? Once Theodore leaves the Avs (there is no way they trade him before the deadline, because they will be in the hunt, but one never knows) he will be looking for the one city where he can regain his confidence and become something of a top-shelf goalie. My guess would indeed be Nashville, Tennessee. Chris Mason is solid, but doesn't strike fear into intrepid goal scorers. The backup, Rinne (I can't think of his first name, but I almost typed his last name as Rinna, after noted hotty Lisa Rinna) is unproven. A battle-tested vet is needed, especially if Nashville falls short in their playoff hunt this season.

I don't know man. He has been playing better this year. You must admit; much better than last year. His stats are the same as Budaj's. Budaj has slipped considerably since last season. I don't really trust either of them. I think because Theodore has won 2 in a row he will get the start next game.

That's what Quenneville needs to do; he needs to go with one goalie. The goalie carousel of doom needs to stop. Budaj was given a chance to prove himself earlier in the season; and he did nothing. He started two games in a row several times. This is only the 2nd time Theodore is playing 2 games in a row. I think they need to keep him in some more games to build confidence. He has still not played in more than 3 consecutive games for the Avs in his career.

I think the best thing to do is to get another goalie. I would gladly get rid of both Budaj and Theodore and pick up someone else. There aren't many good goalies available, but I'm sure something can be worked out somewhere. I don't know if Theodore will return next season, I doubt it, he has looked better this season though. Who knows?

Good question Shueman. I am going to guess he goes back with the Avalanche for a MUCH reduced salary IF he finishes up the year on a decent note. If he doesn't then I don't know. Montreal has no use for him with a logjam of goalies.

I really can't picture him anywhere else right now.

hi i'm exceedingly effective Mikey would be leaping on the the subsequent airplane to Pittsburgh to get on the Pens wagon. only i'm questioning he has found out in no way returned to enable Copas force his wagon. did no longer he see what occurred to Nashville with Copas in the back of the wheel. i surely can no longer talk on the different AVS followers as I in basic terms understand Mike's style. i'm effective some whilst connect the gamers on the golf green, yet many will proceed to observe one group or yet another for deepest reasons. Doubt they'll all bounce onto the same deliver. thank you

For some reason I am thinking Chicago, dont know why. They have Lalime, and forgive the spelling, Khabibulin, but they are kind of playing not so great. Call me crazy, but I think they may shake it up a bit.

I am with doctorhockey18. but I think he will end up playing in the Japan league for his weight in Sushi.

i dunno. he is schizo. He plays awesome against Philly and he plays like crap vs the blues. If he has a good season he will stay next year but I would like to see him play somewhere else...like maybe the Dominican republic?

I think by next year he'll be Maple Leaf calibre, lol

My money's on Tampa.
