José Theodore's first win as a Wild!! Saved 35 of 37 shots!!!

This game felt so much better than the first one José played in. My stomach wasn't in knots the whole time. The Wild still had offensive struggles, and they were woefully outshot. But thanks to José's 35 saves (out of 37 total SOG) they came away with a 3-2 win. Burns had 2 great goals, Clutterback had a big and timely hit and goal, and there was actually some defense in front of José this time around. So that was great to see. Congratulations, José!!!



I had to switch from the Wild feed to the Blue Jackets feed though, because the Wild commentators still insist on calling him TEE-uh-dore. It's truly maddening. Does anyone know a way I can send in an e-mail and see if they will consider asking him how to pronounce his name? He will tell them it's THEE-ud-dore!!

One of the Blue Jackets commentators said, "Give THEE-uh-dore all the credit in the world. Body position is excellent." Then later, "José Theodore is the difference in this hockey game." I think he likes Theo. ;o) And yes, he pronounced Theodore correctly. Imagine that.



"We played a bookend game," said coach Todd Richards, whose team survived being outshot 16-3 in the second period. "We played a really good first period and a really good third period. In between we made some mistakes. But that's where Theo was great."

  5. Sweet! Don't know how he wasn't one of the three stars of the game, but Hockey Wilderness gave him the second star in the recap.

  6. Yeah, I was really disappointed about him not being one of the three stars. He was consistently good the whole game. I'm glad HW gave him one.
