I can't recall the last time I went from being so high to so low that fast. It was great to see them play that agressivley all the way around, though. I hope it stays that way. I would,'t blame Garon, either. He is an excellent goalie, but I can't help but wonder a bit why Theo was not in net against a team like Philly. Nothing against Mathieu, but why did Theo get 2 in a row against Carolina, when having Garon pick up that 2ng game against the Hurricanes & playing Theo against the top team in the league seems to be more sensible? If this topic has been discussed before, I apologize, I haven't seen it. Also, the last I heard on Michaud was him going to the ECHL to play w/ Columbus. I doubt he's an upgrade at this point from Garon as Theo's back up for a full season. Garon, again, is excellent &, to me, has earned the job.

Actually, I beleive Arnott had a bit of a groin problem recently, since you mentioned him not having played a full season. I've not heard that it's a serious problem, though.

I didn't see this listed as a post already, so I thought I'd throw it out there. If I'm mistaken, I apologize. I saw posts on another board w/ speculation that a trade was being discussed. The poster on that particular board claims to be a bit of an inside source, doesn't post much, but actually was spot on in heads up posts on several Montreal moves right before they happened, including Gainey being hired. This immediatley started speculation concerning a deal w/ Dallas, for I suppose,obvious reasons. Considering Gainey has addressed the issue of lack of size, ( no pun intended ), & the general fan concensus of needing a 20/20 type forward to throw a little weight around, the names of Arnott & Morrow have been brought up. The Stars look to need help on Defense under their current circumstances, & that seems to be an area of depth for the Habs. Considering it was rumoured that Dallas was shopping Arnott in an attempt to cut some payroll, ( I just can't see them giving up Morrow if the choice was between the 2 ), would anyone here like that move, & who, on Defense, would you be willing to give in return? Personally, I like the idea, & I don't beleive they'd take a fair sized contract in return, as Arnotts' pay is probably the main reason they'd look to deal him. Therefore, I'd have to rule out Breezer right off the bat. As much as I like Markov, I think they'd be looking at a player like him really. Komi & Hainsey, while good prospects, probably don't have the experience they'd need right now. Komi would be the 1 guy I'd personally deem untouchable for Arnott. Long post, I know, but I'm pretty full of it, as you'll all find out quickly. Great forum...........Thanks.
