Then what? Throw Theo back out there in the Garden for game 3 - after showing him you're only using him because you have nowhere else to turn?<br /><br />What a differece a game makes. Suddenly the Caps look like row of dominoes.Dave Puckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17537616021997420040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451865709340963061.post-71973013291818123702009-04-17T13:12:00.000-04:002009-04-17T13:12:00.000-04:00Also when asked about the goalie situation, Boudre...Also when asked about the goalie situation, Boudreau went as far as to say that the 20 year old back up was 4-0-1 this season, and that he has experience in the russian premier league so he has played infront of big crowds. That's not exactly a, "Theodore is my guy" sort of endorsement. Sounds more like a justification for pulling the trigger in game 2 and trying to lay the groundwork for "this is not a panic move, this guy is really good".Nugmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05242615931624911632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451865709340963061.post-36467566488368987542009-04-17T13:10:00.000-04:002009-04-17T13:10:00.000-04:00As much as I make fun of the Ragers for not reveal...As much as I make fun of the Ragers for not revealing injuries - in a sport where many player will intiate contact with clear intention to injure - often with no penalty - it does make sense. I think our best guess is that Drury got hurt blocking a shot against the Flyers. I'm hoping Nug's wishes reach the Hockey Gods and Drury gets out there tomorrow.<br /><br />...What I love is that when Capital's Coach Bruce Boudreau was asked if Theodore would start game two he did NOT give his netminder the green light. He declined to name who was going to start in goal for the Caps tomorrow. <br /><br />So Torts is just running rings around Boudreau (is that an anagram for the Newark Goalie's name?). Torts amps up the pressure on Theodore by calling him out - then Boudreau further undermines him by publicly contemplating dumping his starter after one bad game.<br /><br />But if you consider the 2 times Calahan hit the cross bar - the Cap's backstop had himself a horrendous day that could have easily gone worse than it did. Keep up the good work, "JoTheo".Dave Puckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17537616021997420040noreply@blogger.com
