Rooster Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Just posted on RDS. Apparently Theo has been suffereing from a groin injury for 10 days or so and that is why he didn't play against Florida. He is doubtful for friday's game. I'm not too worried if it's short term as Danis has been solid, but what's up with all the groin injuries. Seriously, i've never seen so many groin injuries in my life. Is it due to reduced activity during the lockout? http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/192201.html [Edited on 2005/11/17 by Rooster] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les_glorieux Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 that sucks. but is also encouraging as it may explain his bad outings. lucky we have a good backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanny Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 hmmm, 10 days.... that would be long enough to include last satuday's game against TO. Does that give you a good enough reason why he was only okay and not amazing for the Theo-bashers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaliHab Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Could this possibly be the Montreal media making the most of a small thing. Theo's groin tweak has been known for a while now... both he and the trainer have stated that it's not a serious pull it's more about discomfort... Even if he was 100% he's not likely to start both games of a back to back, especially the way Danis has been playing. Wouldn't this make him doubtful for tomorrow as well? (or for Saturaday anyway) I agree with Fanny about the Theo-bashing, it sucks, but frankly I don't think his play requires any excuses of any kind whatsoever. All goaltenders have slumps, few dominate the entire year from start to finish (without a defensive/trapping team in front of him, like Brodeur used to have). Theo is renoun as a slow starter, he's a groove goaltender who works tirelessly tweaking his game. The flack he's hearing is simply due to the fact that for the first time since he's been our #1, there are very high expectations of the team. We've met those expectations and at 13-3-3 I'd say we've exceeded them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLP Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 And on TSN.ca: Theo report Since when is RDS the "sister station" of TSN? [Edited on 18-11-05 by JeanLucPilon] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I don't think they're affiliated but RDS literally is the exact mirror image of TSN but in French and they favour the Habs instead of the Leafs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgodo Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 They are both owned by Bell Globe media... i think it's more than a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigRedC Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Well I am not worried. Danis has been great. Place Theo on the IR, call up Huet and start Danis for a few games. He has been impressive thus far, so give him a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
