Q is for Questionable

After two humiliating losses to the much hated Red Wings, I have a few things to say.

1) Theodore is the biggest waste of $6 million in the history of the NHL. If it wasn't for his lackluster performance this series we'd have an even series right now. I firmly believe that the first game would have been an Avalanche victory if Ole' Three-or-more hadn't let in the rolling puck from Cleary (which I could have stopped), and Franzen's shot from the frakking blue line. His excuse was that he had the flu. So an average goaltender has been slowed down by sickness, and you decide to start him anyway?

2) Game two was simply an embarrassment. I will admit that the rest of the team didn't fare so well either, since we were out shot 40 to 20. However, Jose letting in 4 goals in 20 shots in 30 minutes of play has to be pretty discouraging.

3) I hope that the decisions to keep starting Jose are not Coach Q's. I thought we had signed a good coach a few years back. However, if these are his calls, he's this side of retarded. I have to believe that the decision to keep starting Jose is coming from higher up in a vain attempt to justify a bad trade.

4) Thank the gods that we no longer have to hear what a genius Lacroix was. This same "genius" that sent Aebischer away for our gorram starting goalie. Mind you, A goalie that's been consistently out-played by our backup goaltender, especially the last two games. Budaj has played more ice time during this series and has 7 fewer allowed goals, that's not hard math Coach Q.

5) Theodore is the biggest waste of $6 million in the history of the NHL.

To put the icing on the cake, they've announced that they've decided to start Three-or-more AGAIN. Apparently we need to get swept this series with Jose letting in another 8+ goals before the coaching staff realizes that Theodore sucks.

At least Enemy #1, Bertuzzi's team is out.

Well, at least knowing in advance that Theodore is starting gives me a benchmark of how much beer I need to drink before the puck drops tonight...

(sigh)

Not to defend the decision to keep starting an obviously-still-sick Theodore, but we most likely would not have made it past the Wild without him.

I actually agree with that. Theodore played great in the series against the Wild.

The problem is he started to believe his own press and he's been sucking against the Wings.

Past wins can't help us now...
