A lot of the boys played well last night. The Hawks looked sluggish to me. The Hawks threw 45 shots at Bernier the night before in a 1-0 loss. Howard had an easy night with very few quality shots. Chicago's # 8, whoever that is, broke in late in the third and kind of mishandled a shot that trickled towards Howard's five hole. It hit Howard and Mickey Redmond and Ken Daniels howled with delight like they had just witnessed the second coming of Christ.
You just watch Howard, we will find out just how good he is in the coming stretch.
That 1.96 GA and .934 SV is in for a major U-turn.......hope I'm wrong so we can get rid of his inflated contract for a bag of pucks in June.
Why is the Bum Sheahan getting more ice time than AA, or Helm and almost as much as Larkin. Blashill has totally lost his mind since Sheahan struck the idiot in the head with the puck. Power Play time lol........Why ! Why ! Why !
Oh let's just tank for the draft and be done with this Chaotic Foolery.....winning now just doesn't make any sense and doesn't do anyone any good. A Booby Prize is better than nothing I guess. The Leafs management still can't get that smug grin off their faces as they cuddle Mathews.......Hopefully there's a diamond in the ruff for the Wings.

I agree Howard is in for a regression toward the mean. However, he is still a quality goalie...just not worth that contract. I have no problem winning games, it would be stupid and hurt the young players development if they tried to lose on purpose. Putting mediocre lineup out there with blashill at the helm should result in plenty of losses regardless
