Someone over at Litter Box Cats thought these young guys would get both of the games against Dallas. I was hoping José would get at least one more preseason game, but maybe they don't feel he needs it. We'll see about the game Thursday night.
Regular season opener will be Saturday Oct. 8 against the NY Islanders. I'm sure José will start that one. I can't believe it's getting so close!! :o)
José (Jo-say) Theodore (Thee-uh-dore) was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in 1994 and played with them until March of 2006, winning the Hart and Vezina Trophies in 2002. He spent two and a half seasons with the Colorado Avalanche. José signed with the Washington Capitals in July 2008 where he played the next two seasons. He was awarded the Masterton Trophy in 2010. He played the 2010-11 season with the Minnesota Wild, and then played 2 seasons with the Florida Panthers.
Since Clemmenson is recovering from surgery and may be out for four to sox weeks, I'd guess the Panthers want a look at the AHL guys to make a call on who to keep as the back up and who to assign to the AHL. They'd probably prefer having Markstrom and Plante getting practice time (even if it's in two different cities) over having somebody be the odd man out for practice time once the season begins.
ReplyDeleteI also assumed that was the case. And José said he only needed one game to be ready.
