Howard keeping us in this game right now, nothing he could do about that goal, most goalies don't stop that. Been strong besides that and holding down the fort for us, get that man a damn goal already.

The team just doesn't like him. lol

The Wings have at least had some chances around the net, which is reassuring.  They just don't have that killer instinct to do what needs to be done when they get a scoring opportunity.  If Nyquist one-times that shot instead of settling it and skating in a little closer he had a wide open net for that brief moment.  Someone with that killer instinct would attempt the one-timer even if it was a poor pass.  Instead Nyquist played it safe, which I think has been the Wings' mantra for offense this year, much to their demise.

I'm really beginning to wonder. Maybe he should wear a Mrazek jersey and see if they feel like scoring for him then. I'm frustrated for him that he statistically is a top 3 goalie in the league this season and has the worst goal support in the league in exchange.

Howard's stats are so good because our defense is so good. It's science.

Howard is 7th stats wise, but he's only played 16 games. He's pretty much 11th after the top ten who've played 20 or more. Either way though, he's playing the best he has in a long time. I'm surprised he's kept it up this long, even after his injury. Good work.

Dubnyk is 1st stats wise with 24 games played. 15-6-3, 4 shutouts, 1.62 gaa .942 sv%. Wow!! Who woulda thought that a couple years ago?

Dubnyk is monster sized like Bishop, it seems to be the new upcoming trend of jumbo-tendies. Minnesota isn't an excellent team but he makes them look better than they are.

Yeah he's a big dude. 6'6" I think, just like Coreau. Dubnyk was a goalie no one wanted for awhile though. Before he signed with Minny he finished the previous season 4th in the Habs goalie depth chart. He's been excellent since.
