From Kukla's Korner.Theo's stats vs. Montreal this year:"While the players will insist during the next few days it doesn’t matter which team they’ll be facing, I suspect they would prefer taking on Washington in the first round, and to do that they must finish as the No. 7 seed.
Why the Capitals? Why a team that has the NHL’s best player in Alex Ovechkin? A team that almost surely has this season’s Norris Trophy winner in Mike Green?
It starts with Jose Theodore."

Bring it.
I wish I was as confident in Theo as you. I don't know how the Rangers or Montreal could really want to face us right now. With the offense outburst potential of this team... I think there are only two teams in the east who might want to play us right now... and they're both in Pennsylvania.
ReplyDeleteI guess you have to "think like Theo." He's got some extra motivation to send the Habs packing in the first round.
