Absolutely. You're finally getting it...

BET: Jimmy Howard plays more NHL games in the 2020/21 season than Eric Comrie

If you win I will change my avatar to whatever image of your choosing for a whole month
If I win you have to do the same

Do we have a deal?

Nah.

Bet: Eric Comrie provides more value to the Winnipeg Jets organization than Jimmy Howard does the Detroit Red Wings organization going forward.

What are you scared of? Howard's retiring. I'm handing you an easy win.

I'm not at all convinced we will be signing one of the bigger name goalie UFA's yet. There will be other teams in need and goalies should realistically avoid us like the plague.

After you get past those guys re-signing Howard is an entirely realistic scenario in some cases.

Yzerman is a progressive thinker though so I figure he'll snag something he likes slightly more

... uh yeah so Yzerman doesn't plan on trading him, right...? lol

Someone literally mentioned trading Howard yesterday buster brown

that was me.  I just want him gone now, never to wear the jersey again. I'll take future considerations for him....or nothing at all. Never liked him, he's always been average or below. Thats just my opinion, but its mostly true.

Be me
2014
Working at Subway
Getting to be about lunch time
Coworker: "Hey CRL, I don't want sandwiches again for lunch, we should order Hungry Howies"
Manager: "If you're gonna order pizza get Dominoes, Howies sucks"
Take a big sip of my fountain drink and spit it in my managers face
Tell him no one disrespects Howard like that
Manager fires me on the spot
Go home and cry
That night I pray to Howie to help me find a new job
Soon I hear a voice in my head
"Not between my pipes" it says
Finally go to sleep
Wake up the next day and see horrible local news story
Last night someone beat two Subwway employees to death with a goalie blocker pad
Didn't take any money but ate all the meat, cheese, n bread; didn't touch the veggies
Hear that voice in my head again
"No one rustles my Jimmy's"

Subway had to hire me back because I was the only former employee in the area
Thanks Jimmy Howard! GOAT Red Wing goalie

Hey hey no way. I'm ready to gamble but you need to pick parameters so we clearly know who wins. "value" is different to everybody. I thought NHL games played was pretty fair, but if you wanna do something else pick something and let me know

Since it is already the number one thread again (god let it die) ill comment again. Howard was above average in his prime. The teams he played on were a joke on D and got worse every year. If you are expecting him to do well now with this team or any team in the last 4 years you are kidding yourself.  Head to head in their prime I would take Howard over Osgood. Martin Brodeur would not have done much better than Howard with the teams Howard played on has had the last few years.

The eternal Howard is ready for and wants ANOTHER season

Quote

“I want to play another year. I still have game left in me"

Howard has had a remarkable career with the Red Wings. His .912 career save percentage ranks first all time among Detroit goalies who played in at least 181 games. His 2.62 GAA is third in franchise history. Howard’s 246 wins, 543 games played and 30,756 minutes played all rank third for the Red Wings. The three-time all-star has posted 24 career shutouts (fourth).

The legend isn't over. Howard haters officially BTFO and SEETHING.

The future is brighter than I thought LGWers

I actually had no idea his career numbers were that good. I think he's earned another year. It's not like it's a Dan Cleary situation.

I'd take 41 year old, 5 years removed from the NHL, Dan Cleary over Jimmy Howard next season...

You’d have to be pert near crazy to bring Howard back next year. Solid career all in all, but we definitely don’t need another year of backbreaking 1st periods and 5-1 losses.

That said, if we end up picking 4th, sign him up, make him the starter. Tank on.

It's exactly like the Dan Cleary situation, even worse. Goalies are more important than 4th-line wingers.
