As I stated before, the Avalanche are my favorite team. I am not sure why, but I have followed the Nordiques for some time. Naturally when they moved to Denver, it just kind of stuck.
Two years ago, I heard on ESPN that they had traded David Aebeschier for Jose Theodore not even a year after Montreal had given him a $16 million contract.
Lacroix's justification was that it had worked once already. Why wouldn't it work again?
I think it is safe to assume that even at the best point in his career, Theodore cannot hold Roy's jock.
But let's move along to this season. At best, Theodore's regular season can be summarized as spotty. He has had points of what analysts and fans call "brilliance,” but also flashes that have had him looking similar to a Junior A goalie.
In his playoff series against Minnesota, I must admit, he almost made a believer out of me. But when I look at the Minnesota lineup, I realize that without Gaborik that team has drastically changed.
The Avalanche did a phenomenal job at containing him. So I suppose my point in this article is that before Avalanche fans start singing his praises, they should wait to see if they make it out of Detroit.
We're going to send you the most entertaining Colorado Avalanche articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
