Oh I see, when the the D steps up its the D that gets the credit, but when the D doesn't step up, it's Hutton's fault.
Okay, I totally get it. I assure you that I'm not insinuating that Hutton is taking us anywhere special. But all this Hutton bashing isn't warranted.

This was pretty much the first game this season that Hutton didn't let in one or two softies. He doesn't have to be perfect, but until today, you could count on the fact that he' let those easy ones in. I'm happy for him. I'm happy the defense didn't suck in front of him, however, the defense was particularly sucky against Colorado and I felt that Maz was much more composed in net than Hutton ever is.
I don't compare him to Pekka, EVER! I don't expect him to steal games for us the way Pekka does, but I do expect him to be a solid, capable, NHL backup, and lots of times he isn't. This is one game. I hope to see more of it. I'm just not counting on it because he's too inconsistent.
