Les Vacances de M.Huet

or "Postcards From The Edge (of French Switzerland)"

While recently having a good rummage through a dumpster out the back of the United Center (a man has to eat) I discovered a large box, taped shut, with the words "Get rid of this!,SB" written on it. Naturally, being of an inquisitive nature, I opened it right away. It contained a blood-stained practice jersey with the name "Johnsson" on the back, thirty-eight Jordan Hendry bobbleheads and some postcards... postcards from the man absolutely no one calls "Le Roi" (except CNS)

(Please read in your best Pepe Le Pew/Hercule Poirot/The French Knight out of Monty Ptyhon "Outrageouz Hacczent")

SWISS ROLE

The first card is dated Oct 2010. There seems to be a slight misunderstanding on Huet's actual reason for going to Europe, which we'll put down a "Lost In Translation" issue rather than any skulduggery on Stan's part. Right?

ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDUE

The next example is from March of 2011, as the 'Hawks head for the Postseason and Huet heads for a Home and Home with Rapperswill (what a great name that is. Bathe in its glory by whispering it to yourself in the night.. Rapperswill..Rapperswill...)

CAN I ALP YOU?

With Marty "Swiss Cheese" Turco being gently show the exit during the 2011Offseason, it seems that word of a potential Goaltending vacancy had reached our Man In Romady... Not to mention a certain contract that had less than a year to run..

CHEESED OFF? OF QUARTZ HE IS!

The final card, written in unsteady hand, dates from January 2012. I'll let it speak for itself.

No Puns were harmed in the making of this Fanpost.

Moi aussi

I especially like the part where he creates havoc on the ice by leaving the net wide open. Of course, the idea of a European thinking his vacation might be getting too long is comedy gold.

This site is always well-served by your deft touch and timing.

Hey! I take penumbrage at that!

soooo...

our ace in zee hole is biding hiz time – waiting to come to zee rescuuu.

Truthfully though, is there any tougher position to mplay in sports than a hockey goalie? Over the last 5-6 years I’ve seen Hjabby, Huey, Niemi (to a lesser extent, but no one really believed in him until Kane finally ended that )(/10 season), Turco and now our ugly starling. (He shall no longer be referred to as crow until he straightens up and flies right) Funny how people are starting to see Emery as the wary solution, one or two bad games from him and they’’ be calling for Stan to pull a rabbit out of his hat.

In my opinion, we need a La Femme Nikita defenseman and some fortuitous bounces.
