Haha, Eager is gone. That'll be the game for him. Totally silly. Seabrook, I don't know. I think it was Seabrook. I didn't see a penalty there.

And when was the last time we saw Huet play well? I realize he didn't get much of a chance down the stretch, but that's because he was inconsistent and Q obviously didn't trust him. Nobody can wave a magic wand and change all that now, this summer or in October. He still sucks.

 

There's a reason Crawford was an AHL goalie. I'm not saying Huet is good. But this is like the "should we call up Vitters" threads.

 

Yeah, I know. I'm just talking about for today and Game 5. What can it hurt to start Crawford? Except to embarass Tallon?

 

The series isn't over. There's no reason to throw away your best shot this year, even though it's a slim shot.

What I'm saying is, considering how slim the chance is, Huet isn't so much better than Crawford that it's worth playing him.

And I'm not seeing what you have to gain by giving up even a small percentage of whatever chance remains? Just to stick it to Huet?

It's gotten so bad that this game is actually better to watch than the [expletive] Cubs.

 

At least I'm watching the (near) end of a damn good run.

Given that I think the difference is negligible, yes.

awesome eager thrown out. for doing nothing. refs want this game as boring as possible.

 

He threw a shoulder into a guy way off the play, obviously just to start some [expletive]. I can't argue with that call, even if I share your disappointment that he won't get to keep doing what he was doing.

Huet's best friend, the metal.

 

Haha, and then another shitty rebound.

 

That guy is so awful.

 

McGuire is right, rebound was "juicy."

I hope the fans recognize at the end of the game that this might be it and I hope they don't boo. A standing ovation for a great season is in order.

Phantom call there. The refs know the way to keep this game from degenerating any more is to keep things uneven the rest of the way.

Yeah, that's gonna be awkward. They need to cheer the last home game, if this is it, but that's gotta be awfully hard.
