theedger 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2006 For the longest time I was not a very big fan of Jimmy Howard, as some of you meant remember, I had the BAN HOWARD photo. However, after the other night, I am starting to like the guy, he’s developing into a very good goalie for us and possibly the Red Wings. He did a great job the other night against the Moose. We were sitting way up in the nosebleed sits on the south side, west end. Therefore, I could watch Howard very well. I was very impressed with him in the shoot out rounds. In addition Greg Amadio, Terry Virtue (did not know it was him, we asked him who he was), Travis Richards and Brett Angle were sitting behind us. Moreover, in typical fashion, my girl friend teased Greg a little. For a minute there, I thought he got pissed at her, but he said he was ok with her. (Dang, can’t take here any where with me…lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Dang, can’t take here any where with me…lol) Jimmy is playing VERY GOOD right now - I think he's feeling more confortable, and, he's moving side to side well. His performance in the shootout the other night was phenomenal!! I'd bet that next season he is on the RW's as back-up goalie. Drew needs to be in GR NOW!!! Joey is going to be dealing with his "bad back" again - hope he gets better, but we can't be using a goalie who isn't 100% going into the playoffs - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunkyBlueFish203 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2006 Drew has already been called up. I think Joey left the last game because of a groin injury. Howard has played well and won 21 games now. The more he plays, the more he gets accustomed to the pace and scheduling, and the more he improves. He has all the skill, it's just a matter of getting used to the surroundings.
