PP goal for Galchenyuk.

My feeling about the Offer Sheet to Aho(Finnish Center) was Bergevin's way of showing teams that (despite not wanting to sign a UFA to a huge contract that could jeopardize his future salary cap plans) the Habs are not averse to making an Offer Sheet to a young star. The fact is Habs already have a superstar center(Finnish Kotkaneimi) + Domi + Poehling + Danault + Suzuki all of these centers have huge NHL potential, so why the obvious lowball offer to Aho? It appeared Winnipeg's Laine (RW)Finnish would be a great fit with the Habs by trade or Offer Sheet, since the purging of their defence(Wpg's) it looks like that possibility is less likely. Winnipeg is going with their youth at the expense of the veteran defence, certainly Laine's desire to play 1st line icetime could be fulfilled with the Habs. {Laine(RW)- Poehling(C)- Kotkaneimi(LW) a line with size, speed, talent & youth}

Halak with the Theodore save in the preseason.

Nathan Légaré would have look great in a Habs jersey....you have to wish that both Struble and Norlinder will pan out.....but a scorer like Légaré was a BPA in the 2nd round.

There was a lot of talent at forward that went around Norlinder... Legare, Puistola, Grewe to name a few... Lets hope its not another Point/Lernout situation.

Yep. Though, it was clear that Lernout would not pan out that he was a d-man from another era. But seems that it wasn't well known by the scouting group. Insane but true. But yeah, my point is always about BPA. Not sure how to categorize Struble in that regard, I haven't seen him enough. But I saw Légaré play. A lot. And in no way is this guy a 3rd rounder.

Nathan Légaré signs his ELC contract...congrats Nathan. Still, I'm pissed right now. Can't believe we let this kid go.

Halak with the Theodore save in the preseason.

What is the Theodore save?

I think he has two iconic ones.

The one on Bill Guerin in the 2002 playoffs, which is a bit difficult for me to describe.

The other one was against Carolina, where he made a save with his glove/back.

I always consider the one on Guerin the Theodore save as its arguably a top 5 save of all time and the fact he made that save when we were up 2-1 in an elimination game against the Bruins made it that much sweeter. Although the one against Carolina was pretty good as well. Puck went off the post, bounced out and Halak spun around the same way and gloved it as opposed to blocker, which makes sense because Theodore was a righty.

I’m terrible at adding media. Can you upload the Halak save from YouTube as well just so people know what I’m talking about.

Yeah, I can't really argue that the Guerin save was a much bigger stage.

The save didn't make much sense, but neither did that entire season for Montreal.

We were complete underdogs that entire season. Hadn’t made the playoffs in 4 years. Nobody really knew who Theodore was and he put the team on his back carried the team to the playoffs. Koivu came back from cancer near the end and had a big effect on the team. Knocked out the first place Bruins in the first round and I still wonder what would’ve happened had the Molson Miracle against the Canes in the second round never happened. Easily my favourite season from the non glory days.

The one I was talking about was from just the other night against Philly. This was from 11 years ago. Lol

Yeah, Gilmour also turned back the clock a little bit in the playoffs. He co-led the team in playoff scoring along with koivu.

Looking back, I don't think the habs would have done much if they got past carolina. The leafs were next, and they were a pretty tough matchup for Montreal. I think that was still the time period where the habs had alot of problems trying to beat the leafs. That tide didn't start shifting until around 2004, I think.

After the collapse in game 4 against Carolina, the habs just looked like a team that had nothing more to give. They were physically, and emotionally spent IMO, and after all that happened during that season, I can't say I blame them for it.

Melnyk will be the most exciting thing about next season XD

Melnyk will have the surprise of his life when he will realize that Chabot's contract is 8 m$ per year instead of 8 seasons for 8 m$

Well, it's not that difficult to retrieve.

Just use the YouTube search engine and then embed the link address in the prompt provided here.

I've done my part.

Theodore got a lot of flak for his play and attitude toward the end and most of it was well deserved but for a short while the guy was a beast. 2001-2002 remains one of the best season i've seen by a goalie since i watch hockey (mid 80ies). When you look at the lineup of that team it should have been a top 5 overall pick and the team instead went to the 2nd round. The other goalies all gave well over 3 goals that year. The other goalies (Michaud, Hackett, Fiset, Garon) cumulative stats for that year over 23 games were 3.48 gaa and .896 saves % while Theodore ones were 2.11 gaa and .931 saves %.
