I Don't Know What To Say... Ode to Jose
10 years ago I watched the first two periods of a Montreal Detroit game where Mario Tremblay, the idiot, made an example of my long time hero Patrick Roy. The next day we traded the first round pick to Colorado. I couldn't believe it, it was the worst ever. Ten years later, my new hero, Jose Theodore, has just been traded to, of all places, Colorado. I don't know what to say.
Theo has had a tough year adjusting to the new pads, but still showed signs of brilliance. The former heart and vezna trophy winner has fallen on some tough luck lately with stupid drug tests and his family being in the news and finally falling down the stair and breaking his heal. He is still a great goalie and I can't believe we traded him.
He came into his stardom in 2002 when Jeff Hackette hurt his back. The young back up came in and took a regular season team almost to an Eastern conference final before another stupid coach blew it.
Theo is an amazing goalie and I wish him all the best in Colorado.
Good luck buddy!!

AAAaawwww man... It's ok. All that matters is that I got the first comment!
I Know what you mean! cept. its littler hockey, my favroite player on the slammers team is being move to university hockey!!!:|.. ugh.. maybe i have no idea what you mean? this is pointless now..
I feel your pain. Not only did we lose a close and personal favorite goalie but we got a lesser goalie in return. I think that we should have a memorial game if they play Colorado. Maybe just have one anyway.
Pfffft! hes not even on your so called "team" any more! i dont think hes coming back.. sorry dan..
