Jimmy Howard — 16 wins, 2.08 GAA, .921 SP, 2 SO

Don’t let the low win total fool you — the Red Wing has the stats to back up the fact that he’s been one of the top goaltenders in the league so far this season.


What "low" win total? Four of the seven goalies mentioned have 16 wins or less. haha

Well, the 16 may be less that a few of the other goalies, but his GAA is the best of the list and his SV% is within .08 of any of them.

You must have missed Rinne, his GAA is 2.00.

Either way, I cant say I'm surprised, he did make the all-star game. You would think that all the all-stars would be in Vezina discussion.

Average Jimmy is average.

In all seriousness, it's nice to see him get recognition as opposed to some other Wings goalies who played well but got no credit for it due to the team in front of them.

In a related story, Howard is in the top 30 starting goalies :w00t2: (Really? Top Seven? not like 3 or 4)

No seriously he been good this year, but juts imagine how much better he would look with a few more wins tacked on from the shootout
