Shady Ultima 40 Report post Posted December 11, 2009 howard has been great and i think he could be the rookie of the year candidate with tavares He only will if he gets better stats and we get a higher rank. If we come in 1-3 overall, he'll have a shot... MAYBE. He'll still probably be screwed because 'we have the best defense in the league'. Ironic that our goalies are only ever good because of our D, but Brodeur was always good because of himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opie 308 Report post Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Doesn't help the critics when Brodeur has a few of those shiny Vezinas on his mantle. What major award has Broduer not won, just the MVP right? Did he get a Conn Smythe? I was right, still can't believe Lemieux got that Smythe! Not that his play didn't deserve it, it is just what he became to me in the years that came to follow make it hard to see him as a Conn Smythe type guy!

mmamolo 287 Report post Posted December 11, 2009 Right now Howard is the man. In my opinion, I'd much rather he didn't win the Calder anyways. That's a lot of pressure for a goaltender to come back to next year. Plus, with the inconsistency issues Howard has faced throughout his pro career that could be troubling. I'd much rather he continue to develop, cotninue to work hard and become the goalie we all hoped he would when he was drafted some five years ago. Just like most players on Detroit teams (until recently with Datsyuk's recognition) I'd rather Howard be a stud and be underrated in this league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) Stats updates for the Wings after tonight's game: GA/G: 2.64 (Rank: 10th) G/G: 2.68 (Rank: 19th) 5-5 F/A: 0.86 (Rank: 24th) <-- Brutal SA/G: 27.7 (Rank: 6th) S/G: 34.2 (Rank:1st) PK: 80.0% (Rank:18th) PP: 20.6% (Rank: tied for 10th) FO: 52.0% (Rank: tied for 5th) Edit: So they climbed up one spot on the PK charts. Also, this made the 9th game in a row without surrendering a PK goal. Edited December 12, 2009 by Drake_Marcus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
