"Had an awesome time with you off and on the ice. Best of luck." All class! He did a nice job bridging the gap. Unfortunately he could never regain that 2006 form. Thanks Hu-ET!

l<OV4L3V Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks for the Memories Christo-Wall. You stood on your Fn head too many times and burned out. You brought the true definition of what it means to be a goalie back to Montreal, and have been the best goalie to watch since Roy in Montreal so far. You will be missed in the CH Jersey :hlogo: Good Luck in Washington and keep the Christo-Wall standing tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I'll sign in this thread because of the name. I will miss Huet. I liked his style a lot and everybody loves underdogs, and I think Huet defines that in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he beat out Roy for that honour. He also stole a playoff series and very nearly stole two. Did this happen or did I just make this up in my head?

To those posters I have another question...... Why the Hell do we have a thread for a Washington goaltender? Mods close and delete this thread please. Better yet, email it to Cristobal...... maybe it will supply closure for him and the faithful here still discussing him in a past tense like he is a saint.

This surely can't be the first appreciation thread you've come across... No one is nominating Huet for sainthood, but the preceding posts would indicate that many Habs fans did enjoy his stint (for the most part) in Montreal. But if reminiscing about good memories bothers you so much, I'd advise skipping over these types of threads for your own sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks for being awesome two years ago, being pretty good last year and doing fairly decent this season. :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked his style a lot and everybody loves underdogs, and I think Huet defines that in a way. Yeah he always had that dramatic story, Frenchman who doesn't start playing hockey until a late age, becomes starting goaltender for the Canadiens. The stuff movies are made of really.

Athlétique.Canadien Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Huet was instrument on things changing for the Habs. He was our glory guard. I wish him well. :hlogo: Huet made the grade on a Habs goalie standard. He deserves the kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huet was likely the best student Melanson ever had for the butterfly block...he got it and employed it better than most. I agree with you that he helped turn a disastrous situation around for the Habs. For that I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for him.

Habsfan24 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Sad to see him go. Having said that it was time for him to move on, I wish him the best of luck. Huet was a class act while he played for the Habs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neech Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I vow to never pronounce your name Hu-ETTE. And to still get annoyed with people who can't differentiate between the French sound for 'Hu' and the English one, which is more like 'who'.

PMAC Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I don't usually bother with these threads, but he was a class act and a very solid contributor. Any guy who takes responsibility for a trade on his own shoulders deserves respect, and he has earned it in spades. As mentioned earlier this thread, he very much reminds me of Hackett - two guys you could rely on, didn't get overly worked up about anything, and were classy to the fans and media even when those same were riled and whiny; and that's especially tough to do in Montreal. Huet was a breath of fresh air and helped this franchise turn a corner and appreciation from the Montreal fans is more than deserved. I look forward to seeing his success in Washington and beyond. Hopefully he finds the right place in which to ply his trade and continue building on the foundation of a solid career he essentially started here in Montreal. I don't go in for these kind of threads either. but " I didn't play well enough..." More class I haven't seen lately from NHL players.
