...Eric lambasted me for saying that Budaj had NHL starter potential.

So yeah, he still needs a bit of work. He's still growing as a player,
and still has a lot of untapped potential. He's still got to work on his
consistency, but his lows aren't as bad as they used to be, and they
aren't as frequent.

One can't help but grow more and more confident in his ability with each
game he plays.

And as weird as it sounds, it looks like the Avs aren't too bad in goal
right now. If you quit thinking of JoeTed as the starter and just think
of him as a very good, VERY overpaid backup, it's easy to see that
something is working here.

The team needs work, but I am fine with the goaltending. I wouldn't mind
seeing JoeTed moved (rumors in Montreal have JoeTed headed to Philly for
Forsberg straight up), but our goaltending is fine right now.

Why didn't PL trade for a real goaltender, like Luongo, who is currently
carrying the Canucks on his back to the top of the division, instead of
acquiring a $5.3M waste of cap space? Last night, Ottawa 35 SoG, Vancouver
14 (including 0 in the 3rd). Result: Vancouver 2 - Ottawa 1.

HFS, the more I think about the Theo acquisition, the more f'd up it gets.

Phoenix.

I mean, there are others, but as I have said before, there is no point
in speculating. But this one was just served up on a platter, so there
you have it.
