Chicago Blackhawks: How is Our Buddy Cristobal Huet Doing?
Cristobal Huet has a reputation in Chicago. I'll let you decide whether it's a good one or not (but I think it's safe to say most fans are happy he's not in Chicago anymore).
Huet was brought into Chicago in 2008. He was signed to a four-year contract worth a total of $22.4 million or $5.625 million per season. Hawk fans and management soon realized that this was an insanely...

Blackhawks get creative; send Huet to Switzerland
Now Playing: moe. – Warts & All, Vol. 3

Rumors surfaced this morning that Cristobal Huet was in talks to sign a one-year deal with Fribourg-Gotteron of the Swiss League. The plan is to loan his services to a team in Europe, but send his contract to Rockford (AHL) after he clears waivers, which he would.

Well, Cris, I’ve defended you up and down. Today, you’re on your own.
There are a lot of people to blame for the Blackhawks’ second-period meltdown, but the brunt goes to Huet. I’m not sure if I’m more upset about the 5-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, or if I...
