Wow, where did this kid come from? Coming into this season, he had four career shutouts and 14 total wins. Since Theodore's injury, he's started seven times and has gone 5-0-2 in those games. Yesterday's 1-0 win over Florida was also his third shutout in those seven starts, and odds are he's not finished yet. So does he have a chance of usurping Theodore and becoming Montreal's starting netminder on a full-time basis?

Huet is still the man, but it was obvious he need a game off after the game in Philly. I know they had a long break before this road trip, but good teams use their back up Goalies efficiently. I know Denis is young, and it is kinda scary to put him out there at this point in the season, but you have to think long term... if you are a habs fan ... and I am.

Well, despite the acquisition of a new "starting" goaltender, Huet continues to be hot. In his 13th straight start, Huet earned his fifth shutout of the season yesterday in a 1-0 win over the New York Rangers. Furthermore, he has not allowed a goal in 131 minutes, 19 seconds and has led Montreal to an 8-1-3 record in their last 12 games. Make sure you get nice and comfy there on the bench, Mr. Aebischer, cause you're going to be there a while!

Huet collected his sixth shutout since Feb. 2 yesterday in Montreal's 2-0 win over the Islanders. He had 36 saves on the evening, and the crowd even started chanting him name during the game! No doubt he's going to be "the man" in goal for the Canadiens for many years to come. The kid's simply been awesome.

I watched most of that game last night. The Isles had some great opportunities (including a 5 minute power play) but just couldn't get the puck passed him. Not only that but he made it look easy. He was smooth as can be.

Canada.com's running a great article on Huet:
http://www.canada.com/topics/sports/...f-7162153f9454

Among the highlights:

• His save percentage of .930 is the best in the league.
• His six shutouts ties him with Manny Legace for 2nd place behind Miikka Kiprusoff's 8.
• He's started 15 fewer games than Legace and less than half as many as Kiprusoff.
• Huet ranks 2nd in goals-against average with a 2.14 mark.
• He's earning just above the NHL's minimum wage, $456,000 U.S.

If there's been a bigger surprise in hockey this year, I sure would be hard pressed to name it.

I just can't get enough of this story. The latest? Huet earned his 7th shutout of the season (in 32 games) and his 3rd straight blanking of the Boston Bruins on Saturday, stopping 32 shots in the process.

Even though he's started so few games, is he a legit Vezina Trophy candidate?

good question-are there a certain amount of games, criteria you have to meet to be considered for it? i'm sure he'll be up for it, if he meets them.
