I don't know that Howard doesn't play the puck well. He just doesn't play the puck often. You're right that Mrazek plays the puck better, though.

But my point was less concerned with what that specific mistake was (i.e. - a mishandled puck) than what the response in this space would have been if Howard made a mistake that bad. Whether it was a mishandle or what. I have a feeling we'd be far less forgiving.

I hate penalties that carry over the intermission. Rough call.

Agreed on both points. Howard would be nailed to a cross by now.

As far as the penalty goes, Abby really did try to let up on that. So yeah.

Was Sheahan always this bad at draws? Clearly our worst line, fourth has been our best. Other two are just not forceful at all. Defense has been decent considering all the injuries

I think when people return guys like Sheahan and Glendening should be considered to be scratches over Jurco

I only saw the D. That's dumb that he has his own name written on his mask. Wonder if he talks about himself in the third person too

Ha. I hope so.

There was this side who had his own first name tattooed on his arm in high school, so I wrote his name on my arm in art messing around with him and I found out those people take themselves wayyy too seriously. Ha

That's why Howard isn't our starter now. Because he's made so many bad puck handling gaffs vs good puck handling plays that everyone is ready to crucify him when he gets the urge to use his stick. Mrazek, on the other hand, saved the day the other night with his play in the net and then won us the game with his puck handling. This one mistake is easily forgiven. And by easily, I mean, we are all already over it.

Howard would still be getting bashed if he did what Mrazek did on that first goal.

But then again Howard has mishandled the puck and cost goals one too many times so I could see why people would get upset. Remember his notorious puck handling flub against Calgary couple years ago..

Mrazek criticism on that mess up is fair imo.

No, we have a tandem. Damn good tandem.

Don't create things to complain about Howard. He purposefully doesn't handle the puck because he knows it's not one of his strengths.

Howard doesn't go out of his way to play the puck only to have things go horribly wrong with regular frequency ala Mike Smith.

Case in point.

Now let's get back to the game and kill off this penalty

Wonder what the reaction would be if Howard made a mistake like that. Not criticizing Mrazek. Just saying.

We're out playing them. I expect a tie before the period is over.

I thought the same. Howard would've been crucified. Hilarious lack of reaction to pretty much the worst play of the season.
