1/10 GDT: Red Wings 4 at Avalanche 5

[russianswede919293 95]

I'm not blaming Howard on any of those goals...well maybe the second one.

But it is clearly not his night tonight.

TIme to put in Mac and let Howie rest for the back to back games this weekend.

I don't like how Jimmy turns out his best game of the season against the league's top team and has now given up three in the first period to Colorado.

I didn't know Howard was the only one out there?

[MotorCityMadness 388]

well goodnight

[Z and D for the C 712]

And the fourth?

s***ty defense.

[edicius 3,269]

Can't blame 3 of the 4 on him, honestly. That five hole goal was awful though and seemed to open the floodgates. Jimmy's pissed.

[ShanahanMan 473]

Way to take away the pass Salei.

[gcom007 1,465]

I was so happy for Howard after Saturday night but I immediately couldn't help but worry about how the next game would go. It seems like this has just become the norm for him this season. One great game followed by mediocre-average play. He's gotta be better than this given our current situation. Whether you could say this is a bad game for him so far or not, you absolutely can say that he needs to be better and that's all that matters.

Everyone has to be better, but for the love...

And I wrote this after 3rd goal, 4th goal can't be blamed on Howie at all. Now Macdonald...why, Osgood, why?!?! Stupid groin...let's hope tomorrow's surgery goes beyond well and they find only the mildest of issues.

Why the f*** do our dmen keep stepping up at the blueline?

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Okay so pull Jimmy. I don't see any pucks going in the other net either.

[ACallToArms 270]

... and tonight the Wings D decides to stand around going "Derp" ....

[crotty99 302]

Wow great goal. Feel bad for Howard tonight. He's getting no help at all.

I'm sorry that simpletons like you just can't seem to figure out that some pucks cannot be stopped.

[10 Minute Misconduct 104]

I seen this coming from a mile away. Huge let down spot after the big win over Vancouver.

Oh well.

[Draperfan 104]

Love hearing Bertuzzi get booed,he deserves every minute of it.

[HankthaTank 1,100]

And the fourth?

Glad you were watching the horses*** defense on an odd man rush. Keep attempting to get educated though, fella. You are just like the rest of them. The goalie must play defense and have 20 foot legs. HAHA buncha clowns around here.

[puckloo39 5,686]

Time for Jimmy to sit, even if it's just for the 2nd. He needs time to calm down and the team needs to refocus.

I agree and so do Mick and Murph. As they said, the skaters should be embarrassed... Jimmy's fine. Just some nights, like this one, no one else shows up for work. Shame on you, Wings... now, WAKE UP!

[brett 1,029]

back to normal!

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Should have went after Roloson...

Howard is so inconsistent. By the time Ozzie gets back, it will almost be the playoffs. We're in big trouble with this goaltending.

Fo reel.

[TheXym 2,606]

Jimmy is being hung out to dry and he's spent from the OT games I think. Denver's altitude I think is a bit of a factor after the trip as well.

Is it just me or did 2 of the goals come after d-men stepped up for big hits?

[HankthaTank 1,100]

Ericsson stands somebody up and then skates like he has not a f***in clue as to what is going on. Yep, all Jimmy you are right. Keep it up, honestly, it is quite entertaining stuff to read.

See my comment above. The guy could have his own defensemen shovel four goals into his net and you'd still bash him. SOME SHOTS CANNOT BE STOPPED.

Further, I don't think you've a clue about hockey if you think that starting four games in six nights is easy.

Go back to your cave, moron. You add nothing to any threads.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Had to see this one coming, hope Mac plays well now.
