Anyone else think Huet deserves to start at home Saturday?

I think I read somewhere that Gainey wants to give Huet the start at home. But wont there be a fatigue factor?

Edit: From the CBC article:

"It would be difficult to go back to Montreal on Saturday and not start Huet after how he played tonight," admitted Bob Gainey, Montreal's general manager and head coach.

I read the same article and I think Gainey may have been playing more with words to make sure Huet didn't feel slighted when he doesn't start. As coach and GM, I'm sure he'll sit down before/after practise with the 2 and talk about his plans for them. I'd go with either Huet or Aeb vs the Rangers. Actaully, from a tactical point, with the Rangers a super threat, you almost want the unknown factor. Not that they know Huet all that much better but they would probably have less scouting on Aeb. Either way, the crowd will have a big reason to be pumped.

While I think Huet does in fact deserve to step in front of the Forum (Center?!?!) Faithfull after that road trip, Aebischer is 4-0 against them and Huet is 0-1 and has started 6 games in 10 nights. Geez, I hate the thought of bailing out on him now.

Huet will get the start. I'm sure of it. And then after Saturday's game it will be up in the air who plays in the next one.

Be physical with Jagr and crowd him early. Make him a non-factor. If not it could be a long night. And please no stupid penalties.

Agreed! Huet deserves the start. The phone booth will go NUTS when he leads our guys out!

Give him the credit he deserves, methinks.

And-o, Huet is our MVP this season and deserves to start this game. Where would we be without him?
