"Goalie Cristobal Huet described the Blackhawks' 3-2 loss Saturday to the Philadelphia Flyers as ''something you have nightmares about.''

It also was ''frustrating'' and something that ''should have never happened.''

Huet allowed the tiebreaking goal to Chris Pronger with 2.1 seconds left in regulation, and the Flyers rallied in the final minutes to defeat the Hawks before a crowd of 19,858 at Wachovia Center.

The nightmarish feelings, though, had nothing to do with the fact that Huet is competing with Antti Niemi for the No. 1 goalie job in the postseason. They simply had more to do with the Hawks losing a 2-1 lead with just more than two minutes left.

Marian Hossa had given the Hawks the lead at 12:51 of the third period, but it vanished at the hands of the Flyers, a talented team battling for playoff position in the Eastern Conference.

''It's not a great feeling, obviously,'' said Huet, who was beaten by Scott Hartnell with 2:04 left for the game-tying goal. ''It's frustrating [and] embarrassing. I don't know how to say it. It should have never happened. We worked hard to get there and to get that one-goal lead at the end of the game, and then we pretty much (gave away) two points."
