[17 Seconds]

if that was huet everyone would be talking about how slow he was getting over on that

[Cynosure]

The diver scores the final fake goal, congrats. Niemi better not get the loss.

[nilodnayr]

overall, we played like poop against a good team that (hasn't played well this season and) didn't play well either...I'll take a point.

[manbearcub]

Well, a well-earned point.

 

That was a weak penalty at the end, but given the amount of moaning about refs that isn't deserved, I'll let it go.

No crap. I can't wait till we have a call go against us in the playoffs just to see how many people off themselves.

3 straight dominated games, 3 straight losses

Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse us for having higher expectations of a goalie we spent a ton of money on vs a cold minor league goalie

the hawks dominated this game.

 

and the pens are not a good team, especially without crosby

[kujay]

Still not worried about losing the 4th seed, and I think if they skate like they have been they'll win in the playoffs. IF, and only IF, they get good goaltending.

if you had higher expectation for huet than what he's done so far, that's your fault. he has been good.

What the hell game were you watching? The Hawks absolutely did not dominate this game. You are insane.

They outshot the Pens by like 30.

This game wasn't his fault, but overall hes hardly been worth it.

are you serious? i don't know how you can say otherwise. almost every one of the pens goals were extremely soft.

 

hawks outshot the pens 45 to 28. won more facoffs. more hits.

 

seriously, the hawks thouroughly outplayed them. they just had crap goaltending, a few unlucky bounces, a couple bad giveaways, and a bad game by the refs.

 

if both team play this way 10 times, the hawks win 9 of them

no this game was his fault, but he's been good. maybe complain about the team that gave him the contract instead of the guy who accepted it. huet overall has been better than expected. like i said, it's your fault if you expected him to be spectacular because he got paid a lot.

17 and SOG are hardly scoring chances. We weakly put the puck to the net and didn't crash. Seriously, anyone who thinks we dominated this game must not have watched and have only been looking at the boxscore. We didn't get dominated, some of the goals on us were freak, but it was roughly even.

im not just looking at the box score, i'm just showing how it backs up the obvious. i dont know how you could have watched the game and say they didn't outplay the pens

 

and yes, at least 3 of the 5 goals on us were flukey/lucky/soft.

f*** you huet

This game was more his D's fault than his by a mile. This has been one of his better games for a while regardless of goals let in.

 

More power to him for taking the money he got, but hes not a top tier goalie.

[Cynosure]

You know how I hate this gay Huet argument.

 

This game ultimately was on Huet for not making the soft saves he missed. I mean seriously... 2+ softies in one game... gtfo.

Well flukey/lucky does not mean it was the goalies fault...soft means it was. I don't necessarily agree with that.

 

I don't think either team played well at all. The pens took advantage of their opportunities more, but neither team really played well.

Watch those goals again. Those weren't typical Huet-esque big rebounds off of slappers from 30 ft away, those were rebounds off close shots with his defense not covering the forechecking pens. They weren't NOT his fault, but they were moreso his D's fault.

[TruffleShuffle]

the pens' 2nd goal looked like huet's fault to me, you have to shut down the right side of the net there with the guy coming from that side.

[Cynosure]

Wait WTF... 300+ post GDT... keep it up!

 

I expect 10x more than this for the playoffs!

the defense set up the failure, but huet still should have stopped them. that's why they have a goalie in front of the net. 3 of those goals should not have happened, regardless of defense. it's not like they were blistering shots he had no chance at. one was on a horrible rebound he gave up and 2 were because he didn't have his stick on the ice in front of them. none of those should have been goals.
