LeftWinger 4,961 Report post Posted January 14, 2020 6 hours ago, ChristopherReevesLegs said: 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. 3 hours ago, ChristopherReevesLegs said: 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? as long as its not Detroit.

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!

marcaractac 3,963 Report post Posted January 15, 2020 In the end, I doubt Yzerman will have the loyalty to Howard that Holland did. Yzerman will for sure seek an improvement to compliment Bernier next season. 2 chaps80 and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krayzie_Bone 58 Report post Posted January 28, 2020 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. 1 ChristopherReevesLegs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted March 27, 2020 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted March 28, 2020 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.
