gdt 3/26 GDT: Sharks 6 at Red Wings 4

[Wings33 5]

Last time their was a start like this, there was a different goalie at the start of the second

Let's hope this game goes the same way

"A bit deflating..."

Indeed.

[mrprsn 1]

I didn't lie only increased bourbonometer to full throttle!!

corrected I stand

[joesuffP 1,746]

It's all about moral victories with Babs so jimmy will finish the game and give up at least 2 more goals

[PenaltyShot 96 521]

Put JD Martinez in to hit some home runs for us

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

Howard is just drunk, birthday, hammered.

[mustbeburtreynolds 14]

Should be 2-1 Wings. Howard is not giving us a chance to win.

not fair, the first is 100% on Ericsson for the giveaway/own screen combo (what's new), the second he was deep b/c he was covering the post while the D let it go out front and the third was a fluke thanks to andersson putting his skate exactly where it should never be.

I love bashing Howie on his consistent mediocrity but this game is not on him yet

edit- not to mention the sharks are playing mostly s***ty in their own end anyway, Detroit is fully capable of winning this game in the 2nd

Can’t believe some of you noobs are blaming Howard when Andersson From The Crypt was entirely to blame for the third goal and Smith and Zidlicky were have a buddy picnic on the 2nd.

Easier to blame the goalie then admit that the entire team is playing like soggy arse?

[joesuffP 1,746]

It's games like this where everyone says Jimmy has just been unlucky then he'll come out and give up a turd then everyone will ask why he even started this game. I have no doubt Jimmy will put the game out of reach ASAP he's completely rattled

Right. Not to mention Derp-icsson on the first goal.

Nah, doesn't fit the anti-Howard everything agenda if someone else is actually to blame.

You can tell by his body language. He's soft mentally

That’s definitely what happened last game in OT, you’re right.

I’m not saying Howard’s the victim here, I’m saying Howard AND the team are playing un-hockey right now.

[joesuffP 1,746]

A goalie should be able to find the puck when it is blooped in from the blue line. Some goalies fight through screens

[PenaltyShot 96 521]

[rick zombo 3,739]

You can read his mind by watching him move around? Unreal.

1. There's no bashing. He's let in two that should have been stopped. I didn't say he sucked or make a "bashing" type comment. I'm sick of hearing someone is bashing Howard if you state the obvious: he hasn't been good at all.

2. Your goalie gets paid to bail the defensemen out from time to time. He hasn't done that very much at all.

3. You can make excuses all day long but it's not just me or the people in the blog saying this. Mickey, the coaches, hell....even Jimmy has said he hasn't been good.

bottom line is, 3 goals on 9 shots...howard is done. He is absolutely the worst $5M goalie in the world. Happy Birthday s***brick, now get the the f*** out of here! You should be ashamed of yourself! Why don't you just hang em up? We can't even ******* trade this piece of dick now. So glad you won't be starting next season. ******* disgrace. I hate, but love being right.

[mustbeburtreynolds 14]

Right. Not to mention Derp-icsson on the first goal.

he's such a ******* plug, the only thing he brings is a cool head around the net after the whistle, I don't understand how he's still on this hockey team

[Wings33 5]

You don't have to read his mind to see that he's a weak piece of sh**

[rick zombo 3,739]

A goalie should be able to find the puck when it is blooped in from the blue line. Some goalies fight through screens

And a 6-5, 220lb, #1 pairing veteran D-man should be able to do what? What does he fight through? Being brain dead?

[joesuffP 1,746]

Thats definitely what happened last game in OT, youre right.

Im not saying Howards the victim here, Im saying Howard AND the team are playing un-hockey right now.

He has been unlucky and our DEFENSE can't play hockey at all admittedly but I would still like to see Mrazek in net. Every other coach in the NHL would have put him in

[canadian wings fan 305]

It's King Petr time

[Crashnburnluder 385]

As a Howard supporter I am, still think he needs pulled tonight and get his head straight but he is far from he only problem on this team right now... Once again, more giveaways, destroyed on face offs, our PP looks like garbage... Howard is helping the situation, but they sure aren't helping him either.

[Hack & Whack Rule! 160]

There just has to be someone in the seats eating a bag of Rold Gold pretzels that Babs could put in net!! Why isn't he looking for the Rold Gold pretzels!!??
