Howard's Save

[king_malice 17]

I was kinda hoping this wouldn't be the save that showed up in this thread, because while it looked flashy and he stopped it, it was not great. He was not square to the shooter and he gave up a really s***ty and dangerous rebound that he was VERY lucky to stop because if you really watched it, Howard rolled towards Hanzal and Hanzal fires the shot basically cross-ice and hits him in the chest. The second shot was never going to go in at all, goalie or empty net. It's like making a diving glove save on a shot that would otherwise miss the net and bounce to your defenseman. Great for the cameras, but no real danger of a goal on that shot. The first shot was the only dangerous one, and Howie played it poorly by allowing the rebound to go to Hanzal.

Whether or not it was going to go into the net isn't really important, Howard couldn't very well sit there and chance it. He got down and stopped the puck from going wherever it was going, which was impressive. The fact that he punched out the rebound to virtually the only place on the Earth where it could have been threatening to him was decidedly less so.

I imagine you feel that Jiri Hudler would be a better goaltender than Howard.

He'd be like the worst goaltender ever.

He'd be like the worst goaltender ever.

I'm pretty sure he was playing Goal over in russia.

The man does it all

Voting for the awards occurred before the playoffs began.

although i know this already, its still needs to be said again. Jimmy is playing great and well beyond his years.

I have a hard time listening to someone (not you, King) who thinks Jason Williams should be back in the lineup as the third line center.
