JMMR Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I wouldn't. It is just a major flaw in Huets game. Like it or not the shootout could determine if we make it or not Well then Price should be put in the game when it heads to overtime.

MFT77 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 A disapponiting way to lose, but at least the Habs fought back for one point. A nice blast by Kovalev to tie it up. Many shots and lotsa chances, but lack of finish. Good penalty kill to gain the point. I would have to agree that Huet just looks terrible in the shootouts. 3 saves on 8 shots now. That just in not gonna cut it. I had a bad feeling on the shootout. Huet just does not look comfortable in the shootout. I doubt Carbo would do it, but i would put a cold Price in for the shootout. I've seen Edmonton do it before. Hard to say how it would make Huet feel. The Habs easily could have walked away with 2 points in regulation, but at least got one. Love what S. Kosty adds to the lineup: speed, creativity, good vision, even strong defensive play staying high in the slot to be first man back. The future looks promising for this kid. With the exception of Laps dumb penalty, him and Lats and Dandy had a very strong game. I'll give Laps a break, given his tenacious forechecking all night. Great forcheck and work in the Atlanta zone. Too bad, no finish. Hopefully they have some legs left for Dallas tomorrow. Gotta stop that Ribeiro kid, he is on fire lately and all season. Even with the back to back, i think Huet should get the nod tomorrow. Might be a time to put Ryder back in the lineup, but hard to say who for. Maybe for Kostopolo, even though he doesn't really deserve to be scratched. Maybe for Streit and put him back on D. Go Habs Go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wamsley01 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Here we go again............. pinning the loss on 1 guy. Laps missed an OPEN net late in the game............... I think it's his fault. Please show where somebody blamed Huet? Now stating a fact is blame? Give me a break. Go look at the numbers and show me a theory that proves that he is not terrible in the shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMMR Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Fine, I'm saying if LAPS scores we don't go to OT! Same with Higgins and Kosty in regulation. Simple fact is Huet was unable to HELP the Canadiens win the bonus point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wamsley01 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Fine, I'm saying if LAPS scores we don't go to OT! If Kovalchuk doesn't miss the net on 3-4 chances in the 3rd it would not either. There is no blame. Atlanta is better in the shootout than we are. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenadian Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 So it's Laps, Higgins and Kosty who lost it for us.......since they couldn't score And given Huet's OT record these guys should have tried harder in regulation..............

kenadian Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) No blame? Rightttttttttttttttt, but you bring up Huet's OT record, what about our OT shooters what's their shooting %? We usually don't go past 3 shooters and Koviu is what now 2-7? That's less than 50%.................

Quebecois Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 well Huet is officially the worst shootout goaltender in the league. Not even close again tonight. We need to bring in Price in relief, i don't care how cold or unprepared he might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually don't go past 3 shooters and Koviu is what now 2-7? That's less than 50%................. HABS OT SHOOTING % So let me get this straight. If the Habs lose and I state a fact from the game it is blame? Sergei Kostitsyn is 0 for 1 in shootouts. Am I blaming him? Huet is terrible in the shootout. If you can prove that statement wrong and it is an irrational blame I will buy your argument that I am blaming him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenadian Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Habs players shootout % Koivu's 2-7 Kovalev's 1-4 Higgens 0-3 Plekanec 0-4 Fact! I'm not blaming them just stating facts as well. Funny it always comes down to our goaltending (either they win or lose the game for us) And I'm done with this thread.................

brobin Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 The guy is less than 50% on shootout attempts. What about Price stopping Malkin, Crosby, Armstrong etc, they are top shooters....those are excuses. Name me the last time he won in the shootout. Nobody can remember off the top of their head. Why is Marc Denis dominant in shootouts? Price is very good in shoot outs, but he let in the exact same goal.. shot to the top corner.. that is impossible to stop if the shooter is accurate. I am not saying Huet is great at the shootout, but he is no worse then our forwards, who have a horrible shooting percentage. I feel sorry for Huet. With Price in the wings every goal he lets in gets over analyzed. He has a better record the Price, got out to the OT, and a point. Our problem is offense, not goaltending.

brobin Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Oh, and Price is has won 2 and lost 2 in shootouts. Better then Huet, but he is beatable. Not sure if I would put any goalie in cold for a shootout, but I would rather have Huet in net for most games right now. If we end up in a shootout, so be it.

brobin Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 You want something odd.. .The top three save percentage goalies (Thomas, Luongo, and Huet), all have no shoot out wins. Thomas has a ZERO save percentage in the shootout... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch_Habs_Fan Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Dont blame Huet, its up to the forwards with almost 40 shots to win that game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cataclaw Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I hate losing in a shoot out, but a point is a point. Habs have collected points in 5 out of their last 6 games. That puts an end to the slump in my books. Whether or not we'll continue gaining points or fall back into a new slump remains to be seen, but the future looks bright.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Another game thread (thanks Spidey), another game and another battleground. Wamsley isn't blaming anyone! My God what the hell is wrong here? He is simply saying that Huet is not as gifted in the shootout category as he is with the rest of his game. How has this been twisted in to blaming Huet for the loss? :?- :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHabnut Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Ah this site is starting remind of the old ESPN board with Linden Fan. Too much with the contraversy. Huet sucks at shootouts. His stats and performance say so. End of story. Our shooters suck at shootouts. Saku's move is way too old and everyone is waiting for it, Kovy tries that high backhand too much and misses the net. Our shooters suck at shootouts...end of story. Habs suck at shootouts...End of story :puke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wamsley01 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) Huet 2005-06 - 1-2 (3 goals/9 shots) 2006-07 - 2-3 (8 goals/14 shots) 2007-08 - 0-3 (5 goals/8 shots) Huet is 3-8 with 16 goals in 31 shots. No matter how you slice it, it is brutal. Luongo 2005-06 - 4-4 (7 goals/27 shots) 2006-07 - 5-3 (10 goals/31 shots) 2007-08 - 1-3 (6 goals/18 shots) Luongo is 10-10 with 22 goals on 72 shots. Thomas 2005-06 - 2-6 (9 goals/31 shots) 2006-07 - 8-2 (8 goals/46 shots) 2007-08 - 0-2 (4 goals/4 shots) Thomas is 10-10 with 22 goals on 81 shots. The guy is weak in the shootout? He has stopped less than 50% of his shots. Thomas and Luongo are way ahead of that torrid pace, maybe not this season. As far as Price being 2-2, well the kid has stopped 15 of 19 shots. That is the same amount of saves Huet has made in 3 years. I did not blame Huet for the loss. I claimed he sucks in the shootout. Guess what, the numbers support that theory. The masses who go nuts when anybody criticizes their heroes need to take off their Huet jersey and rose coloured glasses and comment based on reality. If you choose not to do so, go nuts. But I didn't make those numbers up, if you have a problem with them, take it up with Cristobal Huet.
