… you couldn’t care less about the Golden Globe Awards because you’re too engrossed watching the Habs beat the Stars 4-2, despite being outshot 37-15. Jose Theodore deserves all the credit here. Go Habs!

I’m the first to admit that Theodore has been playing lousy lately. But on a night when Huet demonstrated some spectacular goaltending and stopped 38 shots, we lose our excuse of blaming the goaltending for the loss. The Habs managed only 26 shots on David Aebischer, and only a handful of scoring chances, as they dominated the faceoff circle but mastered chasing their tails the whole rest of the game. If not for Huet, we would’ve been out of the game early on.

Goaltending may be an issue, but until the Habs can figure out how to control the puck offensively and create scoring chances, we’re doomed. It’s not Theodore’s fault. It’s everyone’s fault.

Shots: 34-19 in favour of Tampa Bay.

Final score: 3-2 in favour of Montreal.

Theodore stood on his head to steal that one for us. Woohoo! Go Habs!

Theo signed a 3-year deal with the Habs today, quelling rumours about trades and setting up his future with the team.

I feel much better now. As soon as we ink Ryder, I’ll be feeling pretty good.

Still no deals with Jose Theodore or Michael Ryder. Despite strong denials, could there be anything to the Roberto Luongo trade rumours? Let’s hope not. Luongo’s good, and a swap for Theodore might make reasonable sense, but definately not if shoulda-been-rookie-of-the-year Ryder is thrown into the deal.

Most of the Habs’ other key players are already signed, with the exceptions of Andrei Markov and Yanic Perreault. But some key players are only on one-year contracts, including Koivu and Ribeiro. And we haven’t done particularly well in bolstering our team during the off-season. With strengthened rivals within our division, I’m not sure how optimistic I’m feeling right now about our chances. Still, I’m hoping that the team pulls it together.

42 days till the puck drops – it’s getting exciting!

Update 8/26: Markov signed a 2-year deal yesterday. Still nothing on Theo or Ryder.
