Even CBC said it should have been goalie interference.

Why? Just because he initiated contact in the crease and scored the goal while on top of our goalie? Really?

@cotsonika Ken Holland on Jimmy Howard: Upper body. Doesn't appear to be significant. Sprain or strain. Precautionary MRI.

[Howard He Do It?!]

I'll feel more comfortable after the MRI but that's good news.

[Trapt1307]

Upper body? Really Kenny? Thanks for clearing that up.



Good news though.

How did that goal even count? Lupul hit Howard in the crease and then sat on him. That's allowed?... We get goals called back by only hitting a goalie in the pads with the stick.

Hope Jimmy's ok, for sure.

It's a rule in the CBA, I'm almost convinced of it. Something like Subsection 48.2, clause RW-G. "All goals scored while physically on top of the Red Wings goalie shall be counted, without possibility of review."

On an interesting side note, Subsection 48.3, clause TH says "If Tomas Holmstrom is even in the same building as the game being played, regardless of his status or availability to play in said game, any goal scored by the Red Wings can be waived off as Incidental Contact with the goalie. A penalty can be imposed, solely at the discretion of the referee...

...and Gary Bettman."

The Leafs have a history of getting away with goals while blatantly interfering with the goaltender.

Lol Joey McDonald. Yeah, were gonna go far with him. He's a Legace clone. The guys horrible let's be honest here.

f***in Osgood, how do you think your gonna be ready and not let us get a f***in replacement at the deadline. FFS.

Bah humbug backatchya. Let's just shoot 'em both and fake it the rest of the way.

Also, what I don't get is, both hits by the Leafs that resulted in an injury, neither of them were called. That one on Rafalski could have been some kind of penalty.

Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said the injury to the goaltender Jimmy Howard does not appear to be significant.

Holland called it an upper-body injury.

"It doesn't appear to be anything significant, day-to-day,'' Holland said. "Looks like a strain or a sprain. He's going to go for a precautionary MRI, but he looked to be OK.''

He added: "Unless the tests come back anything different, doctors don't think so (it's serious).''

Holland said the club likely will recall somebody to back-up Joey MacDonald for Monday's game against Chicago.

All that help, and they still haven't made the playoffs since 2004 or won the Cup since 1967.

If it's any consolation most people in Canada, who aren't Leafs fans, hate the team.

With all the superstition rampant in hockeyworld one thing I will not invoke is pointing out something you just did.

I'm not superstitious, so does that help?

None of this would be a big deal if Ozzie wasn't hurt right now. I'd feel more confident with him starting than Howard. MacDonald has played no worse than those two, but I don't know how ready he is to be a starter going into the playoffs in Hockeytown.

However, we've seen teams go far recently with no name goalies. Just look at last year, especially with Philly, who kept rotating goalies all playoffs.

There's other players on the Wings I'd be more worried about being injured.

How the hell did that goal stand?

Wow! Really?

[GMRwings1983]

Wow! Really?

Wow what?

Howard has been poor this season. Osgood hasn't been spectacular, but he's certainly been no worse. He plays better when he's disrespected anyway. I'd feel better having him in the playoffs than Howard. He's proven people wrong before.

back to back games something like this has happened. Gimme a break refs. This was even more legitimate than the last, he was falling over before Draper even came close to touching him.

[hockeychik25]

macdonald has been playing pretty good lately. he did excellent when jimmy was pulled vs pittsburgh, played great tonight. he is a good goalie.

i'm hoping maybe its a dislocation and can pop back into place, rest for awhile and be ok. i hope.
