I'm going to stick an "active stick" up Edzo's wazoo in a minute

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

I think that puck glanced off of Salei's stick. Let the goalie make the save and get your stick out of the way.

Come on, Howie.

That was WEAK.

You say this every time Howard lets in a goal.

[dragonballgtz 273]

Damn, not much Howie could of done there.. I mean he was in perfect position, puck just forced its way through. Nice try Jimmy!

He could of stopped the puck.

[sputman 1,268]

Kindl wtf

i think hudler was more to fault, from what i saw.

[crotty99 302]

Ouch, bad turnover.

Also eddy said active stick, 3/3 on his checklist!

[Guest Crymson]

He could of stopped the puck.

Yeah, because it's always that easy, right?

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

He could of stopped the puck.

It deflected off of Salei's stick. It's not that simple.

[dirtydangles 1,328]

gotta stop giving up goals late in periods.

[commadore183 103]

Way to kill the momentum there, guys .

2-3 Wings lead after 2 periods.

[Doc Holliday 1,888]

Yeah, because it's always that easy, right?

Umm, Howard could have had that.

Not every goal is unstoppable.

He strikes me as someone who might like that, actually.

[GMRwings1983 8,793]

Really good period prior to that bad goal.

Colorado has done a pretty good job of deflecting shots, which is the primary reason why the Wings don't have more shots on goal.

[Guest Crymson]

Umm, Howard could have had that.

Not every goal is unstoppable.

Every goalie everywhere "could have" every shot. But they don't. It was a good shot, and it very well may have been tipped.

this ^^^

It's OK, they will get it right back. I hate last minute goals, unless we score them of course.

[seeinred 1,488]

Dude, all he had to do was reposition himself in such a way that the path of the puck would intersect some portion of his body. God, I feel like goalies must not know that or something.

Because he has all the time in the world to make that reposition. Jimmy was in position to make the save and in a split second the puck was deflected and in the back of the net. Again, it's not that simple.

It wasn't that great of a shot. Bad angle, and Howard did not look like he was in good butterfly to stop it.

His body language after the goal doesn't help, either.

GMR: Filpulla has been giving them blocked shots. They have hardly had to try with Val taking up the role of shinguard assassin.

That makes sense with non-butterfly goaltenders and with shots that redirect from the point. Neither of those happened here.

The butterfly is meant to cut off those kinds of goals if done correctly, and Howard did not do it well enough. If it had deflected over the shoulder that is another story, but it went right underneath where his glove was supposed to be.

Uh, wrong.

Check the earlier goal. Nvm, I'll do it for you.

"Howard is human after all."

Yep, Sure am Howie bashing there.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Engblom you're a complete idiot. I hate your hair and I can't stand you. Shut the hell up!

[crotty99 302]

I wish the versus intermissions spent more time talking about the actual game being played. Interesting discussion though.

[GMRwings1983 8,793]

McCarty needs to dump that Matthew McCounaghey haircut.

GMR: Filpulla has been giving them blocked shots. They have hardly had to try with Val taking up the role of shinguard assassin.

And the most important part, it was deflected.

[puckloo39 5,686]

Versus. Home of Bad Haired Commentators. Wow. Keith Jones looks decent. Can't believe I just said that.

I was hoping the outlandishness of my statement alone would be enough to indicate my sarcasm. Next time I'll throw a in there for good measure.
