MulesWillFly93 199 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 That's fine with me! I can't believe how well this has worked out (knock on wood). Didn't relish the thought of who we'd have to trade to get a decent backup goalie. I'm with you all on getting Howard and JMac into a regular rotation so Howie's ready to go in the playoffs.

mmorland 16 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 I say cut Ty loose. I'd rather give bob essensa another shot at this point. 1 Majsheppard reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedWingsRox 614 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 Seriously, I was wondering why Kenny got Conks. I recall Joey doing a pretty good job for us last year and thought that he was ready to be #2. But Detroit always overcook their guys in GR till they're good and ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Wings Addict 787 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 Hope Conklin clears waivers. I know the Hawks have some goalie issues along with maybe some other teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeff48109 474 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 link to red wings twitter Babcock said that Joey MacDonald is starting on Sunday. Giving Howard an extra few days and taking advantage of Joey Mac's hot hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeonardSankar 434 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 Smart move. I'm all for it. Actually no not a smart move b/c in order for the Wings to finally solve the San Jose jinx they need Jimmy in net not MacDonald. I guess the home win streak ends tommorow. 1 redwings1914 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brett 1,029 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 putting conklin in GR could help him a lot. he would most likely be the starter and playing time could be what he needs to get his game back 1 canadian wings fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 5,130 Report post Posted February 20, 2012 This is good that Migity-Mac© is playing so well, this makes it so Holland can focus on a sniper come July and not a back-up goaler. Now all they need to do is acquire someone at the deadline to right that which is wrong with the Power Play... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
13dangledangle 968 Report post Posted February 20, 2012 I really hope Joet Mac doesnt get sent down, sorry Conks but I think it's safe to say he most likely wont be picked up off waivers. Joey is hot and playing real well in big games, his attitude alone about being sent down has red wing all over it...I guess we find out tomorrow. 1 lil Wing's fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
