Shaky Starts For Huet

from Tim Sassone of Between The Circles at the Chicago Daily-Herald,
It’s way too early to give up on Cristobal Huet less than two weeks into the season.
But the clock is ticking.
Huet has made four starts and been shaky in all of them. His exit seven minutes into Monday’s game against Calgary after he allowed 3 goals on 5 shots was the right move by Hawks coach Joel Quenneville even if the defensive play in front of the goalie was shoddy.
It’s a goalie’s job to come up with big saves after defensive breakdowns, especially the goalie on a team that’s supposed to contend for the Stanley Cup.

Anyone who had him as a fantasy goalie last year (like me) knows that this man has no future in professional hockey.
Enjoy him, you douchebags.

...on what? Them sitting him and gigantic contract down (again), this time for an unproven youngster? No one is going to pick up that dog turd of a contract that Chicago gave him. Sorry folks, you’re stuck with him AND his cap hit.
