GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 They didn't deserve to win this game. What a complete and total embarrassment. Pulling a win out of that pile of garbage they turned in would distract from exactly how poor of a hockey team they really are right now... and they need to take a look in the mirror and realize that fact. Hey Red Wings, you just lost to this team... Martin Erat - Sam Gagner - Shane Doan C. Cunningham - C. Reider - David Moss Mark Acrobello - Kyle Chipchura - J. Szwarz Lauri Korpikoski - Joe Vitale - B.J. Crombeen Oliver Ekman-Larsson - Michael Stone Andrew Campbell - K. Dahlbeck John Moore - Connor Murphy Mike Smith Be ashamed. Be honest.

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Doan's "passion" makes him look like a whiny ***** to me. That's just my opinion, if you dig his passion that's cool. Cole hits quite a bit if I recall. And he's not a "small, soft euro." He will be if he plays for this team long enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,953 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Like it or not Howard's our guy. This was a game of puck luck and weird bounces. But obviously Mrazek would've stopped those deflection goals with pure aggression... puck luck? 3 of the 5 goals were softer than fresh baked bread...Jimmy made 2 good saves during the 5 on 3. That's it. The rest of the time he was horrid. With goals like that, he should be the one in GR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoWings! 179 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Franzen says he doesn't think anything is Howard's fault either I think you must be the person that runs the Wing's official Facebook feed and writes after a game like tonight: "Valiant effort by Howard who saved 16 of 21 tonight but the Wings fall in overtime 5-4." p.s. Text Franzen and ask him if he can start in goal next game. 1 MrazekFanBoy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRW Dominance 255 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 D really needs to tighten up around Jimmy D does need to tighten up....big time....however you pay your goalie to make saves. those were weak goals tonight. i'll let it slide on the deflected one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 He's not as bad as people make him out to be, but for the sake of conversation, who cares? He played great in the 1st half. Anyone who disagrees with that is probably just a Howard hater. Since then? He's been pretty bad outside of a couple games, notably the one against the Rangers where he stole 2 points. I think people just want some consistency from Jimmy is all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deal with it y'all Nope, I completely agree with you. Rough game for Jimmy no doubt, but the same crowd that will never acknowledge his good moments, are going to pounce all over this one. I don't care who is in goal for the Wings anymore. They just need to win games and quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Crazy 201 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 puck luck? 3 of the 5 goals were softer than fresh baked bread...Jimmy made 2 good saves during the 5 on 3. That's it. The rest of the time he was horrid. With goals like that, he should be the one in GR. My question is why the hell doesn`t he get pulled when it is clear that he is having a bad game. If Bab`s hooks him after goal three the Wings get 2 points this game. Coaching cost this game. 1 canadian wings fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 He will be if he plays for this team long enough. Responses like that make your views seem less credible. Anyway Doan trying to run Nyquist at the end of the 3rd is a perfect example of the reason I don't like him. There was maybe 3 seconds left and it was entirely pointless.

I think people just want some consistency from Jimmy is all. Well, he's consistently inconsistent... We had much better team defense earlier in the year and Howard was sharper. The combination made both parties look better than they are. Now team defense isn't so solid and Howard's not as sharp, and both parties are looking worse than they are. It's tough to argue that Howard hasn't been weak down the stretch, but the team around him hasn't been good either. Howard's making top 10 money so you expect more out of him than you can from some of our other guys, but it doesn't change the fact that he really isn't getting much help right now. Howard, like everyone else on this team right now, needs to get sharper fast, or it'll be another quick playoff exit. 2 TheXym and Detroit \# 1 Fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it intimidates an already shy player like Nyquist, how is it pointless? I doubt Doan would run a tougher player the same way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

number9 3,297 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Howard's been rough this second half. Those first 4 all had some fluke to em, so there was no reason for him to be pulled. GWer was glaringly bad though. I'll be fine with Mraz starting until Howard can get his act together. 3 canadian wings fan, MrazekFanBoy and Wings33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
