Summit Show Experience and a Stanley Cup Winner Piece to "Cap" off the Weekend!

[IrbeFan4Life]

So this past weekend, the Bruce C. Goaltending Museum once again set up a great exhibition at the Summit Sports and Collectibles Show. There were many more attendees than I have ever seen at this expo ever before, and it was so busy. I did not have any wandering around time at the expo until the Sunday, that's how busy it was. Anyways, onto the show:














And now onto the new piece we added into our collection!
Born in St. Martin D'Heres, France on September 3, 1975, this goalie was drafted 214th overall by the Los Angeles Kings at the age of 26 after some fine Olympic appearances with the French National Hockey Team. His name, Cristobal Huet. He made his NHL debut with the Kings in the 2002-03 season and assumed the starting role by 2003-04. Huet was then traded to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Mathieu Garon.

Huet spent three seasons with the Habs from 2005-2008, putting up fine numbers each season. He was then traded to Washington in 2008 for a second round pick and he played 13 games, as well as the entire playoffs with the Caps that season. After being eliminated in the first round, Washington let Huet go so the Blackhawks then signed him to form a tandem with Corey Crawford. In his second season in Chicago, Huet helped the team reach the playoffs and Corey Crawford led them to a Stanley Cup victory!

In his career, Huet appeared in 272 games, recording a 129-90-11-21 record with 24 shutouts, a 2.46GAA, and a 0.913% save average. On top of that, in 17 playoff games, he recorded a 6-10 record with a 2.68GAA, and a 0.918% save average.

With Huet being a Cup winner, he was only the third ever goalie to play for the Caps who has ever won the Stanley Cup.

The following piece you are looking at is a 2007-08 Washington Capitals White Set 3/Playoffs sweater worn by Huet for the ending games of the regular season from March 18 until the conclusion of the playoffs. He wore two sweaters of this set designation that year and unfortunately photos of him from his Caps stint are almost microscopic so I do not know exactly every game he wore this one for.
Regardless, it possesses great wear!

Awesome stuff Bruce!

If they didn't tell you already, Players Choice has 3-4 other Huet jerseys in case you want to boost that portion of your collection!

I still use Weebly as it is easy to build with, but yes, I have a registered domain name now as www.bcgoaltendingmuseum.com

Much appreciated! I'll actually be heading down to Calgary tomorrow and I'll get a guided tour of the Flames' game worn warehouse from which I can all but guarantee that some sort of piece will come home with me ;)

Awesome stuff Bruce!

Thanks a lot! I'm all happy with Huet for now...onto the next!
