The Washington Capitals demonstrated three goaltenders do not fit in front of two nets.
Newly acquired Cristobal Huet presided at one end of the rink Thursday during his first practice with the team. Longtime face-of-the-franchise Olie Kolzig was at the other end.
As for reliable backup Brent Johnson? All he could do was watch from the bench.
“I think everybody realizes how weird it is in here right now,” Kolzig said.

This trade still baffles me. I have to think there was something behind the scenes that forced this move by Gainey. Perhaps he did it to make room for the Hossa trade that didn’t happen? Perhaps Huet didn’t like the playing time Price was getting and demanded it? Don’t know. There must be more. You don’t let a quality tender like Huet go for a bag of pucks and a tracking number from fedex.
