Surprise, surprise

Cristobal Huet was named the NHL's defensive player of the week after posting a 0.65 GAA, .979 SV%, and one shutout in 3 games last week. It was Huet's third straight shutout against the Bruins this year. Could there really have been anyone else?

Other news of note:

• According to TSN.ca, Richard Zednik will be a healthy scratch tomorrow against the Bruins. Bob Gainey has elected to go with Jan Bulis instead. It's about time! Bulis has been having a stellar season for the Canadiens, yet has seen more time in the press box than Zednik or Mike Ribeiro, who both have a lot of work to do on their game.
  
• If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to sign the petition asking the Canadiens to bring back the old goal song instead of U2's vertigo. That was the song that took us through the Habs' most recent playoff runs -- we need it back!!
  
• Here's a nice article on Aaron Downey and how he has become one of the most well-liked players in the dressing room, due in part to his gift of a sack of potatoes from his family farm for each player.
