    The Cristobal Huet Thread

    in Habs & Hockey Talk

    Posted

    Huet's looking forward at playing his first game for the Habs. The last couple of days he has been working with Mr. Melanson on his position, recovery and play behind the net. Huet played 4 games (0-4-0, 3.79 GAA, .862 Sv%) in the AHL after recovery from knee surgery. He played two solid games and 2 bad ones. Those bad games won't bother him much. Huet doesn't know when he will get his first start. "I don't know if I will start the game in Carolina the 31 december." Yokes. Huet is also looking forward to the olympics, where he'll be representing team France. "I'm the team France starting goalie for 5-6 years now." says Huet, who played already at 2 olympics. "Hockey in France is in a rebuilding mode. We're behind on Suisse, Germany & Austria, but the future's bright."

    OK, my english is not perfect but here's hoping you'll understand the text.

    I'm not French, but I'm kind of alarmed... does that say Huet would hate to play his first game for Montreal?!?

    ;)

    Nope, he's looking forward at playing his first game here.

    How interesting Anahiem's coming to town!

    Pretty sure Souray is better than Salei when not playing well, there is no point in acquiring him. And Sykora is too expensive, we have kids that can step in on the socring lines, leave Bonk alone on the checking line, maybe after his injury fully heals we'll see the Bonk of old. There is no point in any trades bringing in forwards, there are plenty in the system(Sykora has 2 years after this). The only trade needed is for a top D-man, which Salei is not.

    Correct, we need another D, a top-D. That's all for now.

    A son mourns his mother

    Komisarek recalls her love, support. 'Won't be a day that goes by during which I won't think about her': Habs defenceman

    HERB ZURKOWSKY

    The Gazette

    Wednesday, December 07, 2005

    "Some kids don't experience the love and support from their parents," the Canadiens defenceman said yesterday during a lengthy interview, his voice cracking often with emotion. "But I saw first-hand the sacrifices and how she took care of us. There won't be a day that goes by during which I won't think about her.

    "She's in heaven, looking down and smiling."

    Komisarek's mother died last Tuesday, more than 10 months after she learned she had pancreatic cancer. She was 51. Her son flew home the night before, leaving a practice in Gatineau before a game the following night at Ottawa, to be by her bedside. It was a routine that had become all too familiar to Komisarek this season. Virtually every Sunday morning at 6, he would board a flight to New York, often after a game at the Bell Centre the night before, to spend the day with his mother before returning to Montreal that night.

    And, through it all, he kept a stiff upper lip and continued playing, 21 games in all, while averaging slightly more than 14 minutes of ice time a game.

    "There hasn't been a time on the ice where I haven't thought about her," said Komisarek, who will turn 24 on Jan. 19. "It's been tough. If I told you it wasn't on my mind I'd be lying. But I've still got a job to do."

    "I know my mom was a special lady," Komisarek said. "I was fortunate to have her around for so long and see the influence she had on people. I see her now through others' eyes."

    After missing three games last week, Komisarek practised yesterday, his teammates' first day back on the ice after last Saturday's win over Los Angeles.

    He sat at his stall, reliving the story and talking about his mother's life, as wave after wave of media came by to offer condolences.

    "I'll be playing for her," he said. "I'll continue to make her proud."

    They just keep changing managers, as if their problems laid there.

    Did you see Luxemborgos' last game? The 1-0 win on the Ronaldo goal (handball?), yikes. Brutal. Beckham losing it, going nuts once again.

    Huet the canuck? No way you'll land a goalie in Vancouver. Not now they've gotten pretty deep in goaltending depth.

    League makes a gaffe?

    Okay, I'm chiming in on this late.

    Don't start hopping on the "I Hate Gretzky" bandwagon just yet. Don't forget what kind of man this guy is. Absolutely no respect.

    Secondly, the two situations were different. I wasn't watching the Ottawa game nor did I see highlights due to a party, but here's what I know. Doan is not a fighter. He can fight, he will fight, but he's not someone who's gonna drop the gloves with enforcers. He'll fight you if he's pissed off and you play more than 5 minutes a game. Doan is the captain of the team, a gold medal winner, a World Cup winner, and a first-line winger on any team in the league. He's a class act, and he was going in retaliation to a hit on one of his players.

    Chara is an enforcer turned all-star defenceman. He fights enforcers. He fights McCabe (<3). He fights anyone. And he's also the kind of the guy who would instigate a fight because he wants to. Because he knows he can win. So what I hear is that Chara was put up forward? C'mon, that's a no brainer right there. If I was the league, I'd suspend the coach for a game and give Chara the fine. It sounds like he was just following his coach's orders. If you beleive for a second that Gretzky asked his captain to goon someone at the end of a game, give your head a shake.

    Here you have the Chara segment, the final minutes in the Ottawa-Los Angeles game.

    Wow. I thought he had only been GM of the Panthers and now coach of the Sens.

    Wasn't he a GM in Anaheim? Gordon Bombay told me that.

    [Edited on 4-12-05 by mathieug]

    Don't know who that is but I know that the reason he was fired from Florida's GM wasbecause he made this "crazy" trade:

    Oleg Kvasha + Radek Dvorak for Olli Jokinen + Roberto Luongo

    At the time Milbury was the big winner and Murray got fired for creating Florida it's future.

    You don't know Mr Bombay? Coach Bombay from the D-5 team? He invented the flying-V! That Gordon Bombay.
