I know you're all tired of me saying this especially my friend Johab but I still prefer Huet to Theo this season! Sure we probably would of lost this game with Huet starting but at least he is more forgivable(doesn't earn big bucks)!
I'm tired of the last ten seasons of peewee goalies! Theo is too small to adjust with smaller equipment! Just can't cover the net like the bigger Huet! Sure Theo is fast but NHL goalies have to rely on position as the puck is always faster than the goalie! The more net you cover,the less you have to move! Notice how Theo has to move in his crease so much to cover net! That's why he is getting beat..he is caught moving too much! Huet looks less spectacular but he gets away with it because he covers more net to start with! He can stop second or third shots just by staying down in his butterfly! Also calmer in net so he controls rebounds well!
I'm not saying that Huet is Roy but just that I prefer him with the new rules in place!
He has played well and stopped many shots already thus deserves more ice! Under different circumstances this season he would be our regular starter! We all know that Gainey has to play his money goalie in order to justify his inflated contract or raise his trading value!
Theo won several close games this season but a back goalie could of won those! Other then a couple strong consistent games, he has looked like an average goalie to say the least!
Gainey..please close this chapter of the little peewee goalie for a Luongo if possible! There has to be some other french goalie you can sell to the locals! They seem to also like Huet..don't they? Give him a chance for now!
Again this rant isn't only on tonights game as the whole team sucked but an observation over the long haul!
