Maybe people like to oh I don't know, Watch The Game while it's on?? Is that unreasonable? People watch, then post their comments after?

s***, do you get mad at people for not giving their opinion every five minutes of a movie instead of just watching it and then discussing it after it is done?

There isn't some conspiracy here where people just show up to hate on the loss, they just want to discuss it with other people when it's over.

True, but pay attention to what users show magically show up after losses but are never here for wins. And it doesn't seem to go vice versa.

Sooooo on the plus side, Kindl looked good eh?

Better than Howard. What a loser he is.

Unfortunately there are two major groups of people in here that post about howard.

1. Nothing is Howard's fault. He's just unlucky because of bounces and the people around him let him down.

vs

2. Everything is Howard's fault and he only makes the easy saves.

There's only a few of us in here that see Howard as a decent goalie (not elite) that lacks the athleticism to be great. This is to say that Howard's Celing is not as high as the top guys. Howard's usually good at positioning but lately he's been off. That last goal was the perfect example of this.

This opinion could/probably will change very quickly if Kindl plays more again, but he does kinda bring something the Wings are sorely lacking on defense. He's a liability defensively, but so is everyone else besides Kronwall right now and at least Kindl has some offensive upside. He really does do a nice job of getting pucks through on net.

The reason people bash Howard is he gets our hopes up with some fantastic games then it's just like he flips a switch and isn't comfortable. How does it make sense that he can steal a game against the Rangers but can't manage against a team trying to tank. People say put in Mrazek but you can say the exact same thing about him. He can be great but in some games like against Buffalo he just drops the ball.

Only a few? I'd say like 70-80% of regular posters are in that group! Just curious which group would you put me in?

We don't pay Mrazek to play in the nhl we pay Jimmy to, so no don't compare the rookie with a better winning percentage to a starting goalie making good money that's below .500 and can't win in the shootout without hell freezing over.

Yeah I guess we can say the same about Mrazek... Without him we wouldn't be in a playoff spot

But the same can be said for Howard with your playoff comment. He was killer at the beginning of the season. The definitely was a horrible game for him, though.

I agree with Kip that Kindl looked good tonight (and has since his stint in GR). I'd like to see him in next game. If Kronwall out then no changes would have to be made, but if the Kman isn't on IR then I wonder who could/should be taken out for him.

Love Helm, but that spear was just incredibly stupid. He's not usually the type to do something like that.
