1/17 GDT: Blackawks 4 at Red Wings 3 (SO)

Just give him ONE game against a not so great team to boost his confidence for crying out loud. Just something. He is rusting right now and I can't remember the last time a goaltender was out for this long without the GM telling him to cool off or have some conditioning stint.

If he had played the Dallas game I sincerely doubt Howard would have let the Chicago game go to overtime.

I do not understand Ozzy. Last year in the playoffs he turned into a madman. Is he just bored with the regular season? Yeah, he is wilting on that bench, and I think we should start him against Minnesota. They are not the most offensively gifted team and he could ease his way back in.
