"How does a goalie become a bad fit for a team? Is this some sort of groundball pitcher on a team with bad defenders thing, or a slinging QB on a team that only runs? I don't get it." Huet's style is to give up big rebounds but stop anything he can see. In the playoffs, he'll need a big, strong defense to keep the front of the net clear. The Blackhawks have a smaller, less physical defense based on positioning and clearing the puck efficiently, but not so good at clearing the front of the net. Bad fit.
