Had Boudreau made that call, then he'd basically have named Huet the #1 netminder. The team should make sure Huet's healthy (and not slumping) before screwing with Kolzig's psyche by calling Kolzig the backup already.

The Donald came out to Olie, put his arm around him, and they skated off the ice together...like 2 AARP members skating off in to the sunset.

To me that suggests that Olie will be fine to throw in every now and then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-67306268468750516322008-03-03T20:36:00.000-05:002008-03-03T20:36:00.000-05:00I've said it before and I'll say it many times aga...I've said it before and I'll say it many times again - Scott Burnside is to writing hockey articles as John Ferguson Jr is to writing hockey contracts.<BR/><BR/>When it comes to hockey, ESPN stands for Each Stupid Person's Nonsense.
