Cristobal Huet Makes Splash In Debut With Washington

The Capitals beat the New Jersey Devils 4-0. Huet got the shut out - over Martin Brodeur to boot.

Good for Cristobal Huet. I'm of the opinion that he was short changed here - especially by some over at Team 990. They're arguments against him were rather weak, selective and subjective.

Ever notice that sometimes some people never get any credit no matter what they do or how hard they try? Huet was unfairly labeled. It seems anything he did was seen as a "mirage." The stats weren't telling the story, he was a late bloomer etc. Interesting weren't guys like Johnny Bower, Tony Esposito and Dominik Hasek all late bloomers? I'm not suggesting that Huet is in that elite group but you get my point. All are irrelevant in proper context.

For those of you who love an under dog story this is a good one.
