Yesterday, Martin Brodeur was riding second place among Eastern Conference goaltenders.  He is now in third behind Henrik Lundqvist and Cristobal Huet, the new top vote-getter, representing the Montreal Canadiens.  Habs fans were apparently annoyed this time around and got out to vote.  Just check out the lead Habs defenseman Andre Markov has over second-place Boston Bruins' 6-9 Zdeno Chara (tallest NHL player ever).

It's outstanding considering Markov leads Chara 19 - 13 in points but is losing the plus/minus battle +7 to a -6.  Let's not forget though that Markov has scored six goals thus far, shooting a whopping 13.6% and Zdeno's lone goal and 1.9% shooting are nothing to be proud of, for a five-year, $37.5 million contract, by far the largest (no pun intended), given out to defenseman.

And lastly, I can understand Lundqvist starting the all-star game, but not Huet, who is 10th among goaltenders with a 2.25 GAA. His .928SV% does place him fifth in that category, but he's only faced the 17th fewest shots (470) in the league.  I hope that fans representing the New York metropolitan area realize that a person named Christopher is on pace to start an all-star game dating back officially over 50 years to 1947-1948.
