This is the second week in a row that Gélinas has captured defensive player of the week honours.
In two road starts, Gélinas helped the Rocket earn four points in the Eastern division standings by registering two wins while posting a 2.50 goals-against-average and .955 save percentage. He faced an incredible total of 110 shots over that span. In the first of his two appearances, the Rocket backstop made 48 saves in a 3-1 win over the torrid Drakkar offence. Then, in Quebec City, he stopped 57 shots in a 5-4 victory over the Remparts. Gélinas was named the game’s first star in both contests. He now has eleven wins since the start of the 2007-08 campaign.

This kid is playing out of his mind right now. I hope it keeps up. Congrats for even more deserved recognition MAG.

Yes, it's amazing that MAGS would nail the defensive player of the week award 2 weeks in a row - I wonder if this has happened before?
Unfortunately, we've seen all of this before.
Boutin was awesome the second half of 03-04, but then just so-so in the playoffs.
Mior had some great games during the regular season in 05-06, and was especially effective on breakaways and shootouts - not so hot during the playoff series against AB, though, but that's a series we would have lost anyway.
Lafleur was excellent last winter, fell apart completely in the playoffs, in a series we would have won with decent goaltending. Not sure he ever got over that stick-side-floater that Jezegou got past him for the season-ending OT goal.
Even a kid named Telmosse had a couple of good games in 03-04, as did Nolet, who was mediocre, at best.
So here we go again.....this time, I hope it's for real!
We won't know till April, though.
Is it the playoffs soon?
