Another Bad Night For Huet

from Tim Sassone of the Chicago Daily-Herald,
On a night when the Hawks dominated much of the game offensively, Huet allowed 2 deflating goals, including one that needed to be seen to be believed.
With the Hawks trailing 3-2 midway through the third period, Stars defenseman Stephane Robidas fired one from inside the red line around the glass that deflected toward the goal, bounced and hopped into the net between Huet and the post.
Huet also let Toby Petersen beat him with a slap shot from past the right circle near the boards in the second period that rang down the boos from the sellout crowd.
“I can blame only myself,” Huet said. “The third goal (by Petersen) is bad. It can’t happen. Right now I feel bad because I feel I let the team down. I know I can play way better than that.
“Obviously, I really looked bad tonight and I didn’t help the team.”
added 10:19am, Not the best video quality, but check out the last goal Huet gave up last night below…

That goal was ... um ... not at all good. Wow. All he had to do was stand there next to the post and the puck wouldn’t have gone in at all, but when he twitched he knocked it in himself. Just ... wow.
That team scores enough to make up for the goaltending gaffes more often than not, but at some point it will catch up to them.

And some folks questioned the firing of Talon!

This was the game winning goal.

Was at the game. Let me tell you, the fans’ reactions were almost as satisfying as the game. It was pretty normal to hear “BOOOO-ET” calls in the nosebleed section, especially after that hilarious goal. I was trying to stop laughing and couldn’t. I’m not sure if you could hear Huet being cheered every time he stopped a slow moving puck a la Rangers fans with Richter on TV, but it happens. That was even before the incident.
