Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 You were awesome Jimmy. Absolutely stellar play by you. Got way more faith in our goaltending going forward than I did just a month ago. 4 SaCkaveli20, Nev, crotty99 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 5-2 all-time in postseason elimination games. Not too shabby, kid. You've won my respect, Jimmy. You did good. Scratch that - you did ******* phenomenal. 1 SaCkaveli20 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JasonNewEra 84 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 Way to go Howard he is the future and the future looks like cups! Now we need a defense in front of him and he will be a force in this sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broken 16 381 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 I see no issues in net for the Wings for a while. Jimmy was a rock. Even tonight when he got caught, he somehow got back to stop the wrap around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MulesWillFly93 199 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 Howie. Thank you. You were the heart and soul of the team on a team full of heart and soul, so that's saying something. You kept us in it. Cheers. Would just like to reiterate what Ozzie30 (aka Howie 35) said: Ericsson, GTFO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightfall 871 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 I know that the respect and admiration most people are giving him now will probably evaporate in 3 months. Still, I am a big supporter of the Wings and their goaltenders. Howard played solid in playoffs. I think they can make a strong run next season too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Crane 289 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 I've said it once and I'll say it again, I love Jimmy Howard. He played his heart out, and gave the rest of the team the opportunity to win. I hope next season the Wings come back and allow him to raise the cup as a starter. Great season, Jimmy. It has been a pleasure watching your career progress and I cannot wait to see you again in the fall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greatness=PavelDatsyuk 65 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 He had a great season, I can think of only a few goals this series that he should have had, the rest were just deflections, bad bounces, or bad defense. Cannot wait for next season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 Howard needs to improve his lateral movement. Big time. He's slow side to side, and tends to stay low (perhaps related) giving up the entire top half of the net to the shooter on the back side. 1 Zeowingsfan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
