GDT 10/23 Tacky GDT Red Wings @ Calgary Flames 9:00 PM EST

Smith made a great play keeping Giordano out right there.

And anyone saying Howard doesn't make big-time saves is fooling themselves. He's a top-tier #1 goalie in the NHL, and tonight shows it. Physical play from Quincey and Smith aside, we're still leaving him to bail us out, and he has delivered.

Who's saying he doesn't making big-time saves? His problem was that he would make big saves and then let in a stinker at the most inopportune times.

His play this year has been markedly better. Probably because he put in so much work this off-season. I just don't understand why he needed to almost lose his job to start putting in the work to improve his playing when he should have been doing that all along.

Expecially good commentary from Osgood tonight. Expecially good.

Smith cant make that one bad decision to allow the breakaway. That sucked.

A majority of the people in the last few GDTs have said it. Mrazek bails us out and Howard can't make the big stops when the defense lets him down, or some iteration thereof. It's not an uncommon complaint.

And how quickly we forget, this is exactly what Howard looked like last year before the injury. Motivation is not an issue for him, and it's unfair to say such.

Problem is the Carolina game is exactly as he looked half of his whole career. Howard isnt consistant enough.

Dammit

[Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453]

Wow, pretty much the only person I didn't want to see score.

[matt198913 932]

Well there's that

[Vladinator16 236]

Son of a *****!

[Yeti 244]

damnit

[barabbas16 499]

Of course

[matt198913 932]

That's what happens when you stop playing

[barabbas16 499]

Whatever. Calgary deserved that goal. Detroit played like garbage after the 1st.

[Bill Berzeench 310]

Win in ot and all is well

[joesuffP 1,746]

No chance... got outplayed 2/3 of the game that's what happens

[CaliforniaWingsFan 464]

I mean who honestly thought they would be able to hang on? Just get a point please.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Completely unacceptable to be outshot by a 1-5 team.

[joesuffP 1,746]

Just got to survive the next minute

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

Good god

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

It almost looks like they were playing hoping to get to OT.

[Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453]

I guess the Flames can do no wrong in the refs eyes now.

[matt198913 932]

Larkin for the winner

[joesuffP 1,746]

Welp we still suck. First period was just a tease

[Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453]

Wonder who goes if there's a shootout.
