NHL : post mortem (2)

For entertainment value during the coming week, one will pay particular attention to the "Rondelle libre" articles by "La presse" Mathias Brunet, the man who, after Game 1 of the series against the Flyers, called Gainey's decision to trade Huet to the Capitals "courageuse et géniale" -"courageuse", it is, more than ever; "géniale" ? Slightly less, though the outcome would most likely have been exactly the same, if Huet had remained in Montréal : his own series against the Flyers strongly hints at it- and unblinkingly explained that, with hindsight, some teams would have chosen Price over Crosby at draft time.

Let us hope the Canadien elimination does not send him into depression on the "injured list".
