    F_T, I think you're wrong about the Caps. Ovie and the boys will beat the Flyers.

    Unfortunately, the B's have no shot. Montreal has their number.

    I might point out, however, the stick boys were always a wealth of information in the Loops.

    For folks who have been following this more closely than I have --- is Cristobal Huet really that good, or is he just on a hot streak, or are the Caps just playing incredible defense in front of him?

    I can't tell you for sure if Huet is reallyt his good, but he's been incredible the last few weeks. The goal he gave up on Thursday to Tampa Bay came in the first 60 seconds on a rebound that squirted away while he was on his belly in front of the net. Saturday's goal was also as much luck as anything. Heck it had to be reviewed to determine if it was in.

    Meanwhile It's been more than a week since he's given up a power play goal. Some of it is that the Caps offense has been so good that he's not getting a barage of shots to begin with. But even the shots he does face lead to some great saves. He's been every bit as hot as everyone else on that team.
