I'm glad we don't have to face Howard, not that it matters in the playoffs but we couldn't get a shootout goal against him in our last game with the Wings.
To me this series was fairly even...some games SJ dominated, some games Detroit dominated...as for game 7...SJ was good in the first...Detroit in the second...in the 3rd it was a draw. Thats the way it goes, only 1 point separated these 2 in the regular season...I though SJ made it to easy on Detroit at times because they just quit skating.
Probably doesn't matter who won...I think these teams beat each other up...might give the Canucks a leg up.

Jimmy Howard is a GREAT goaltender... and I will have words with anyone who says otherwise
1 great playoff round does not make you a great goalie!!!!
Which round did you not watch?.. he was stellar against both Phoenix and SJ
uhhhh...Phoenix please...seriously Phoenix found out 3 hours before game 1 that they might be moving to the peg...sorry nice try...they were not in the series.

howard's GAA is middle of the pack this playoff season. go look it up.
i still blame the avatar change....
bloody guy went 0-4 while the other one went 3-0. clearly teh difference in teh series. just think about what might have been had you not given in to the urge to change it back this am.
And beside's not even 2 series make you great...not even 1 playoff year makes you great...playing like that for the next 10-13 years like Roy, Brodeur, Hasik, etc., makes you great.

You may want to remove Hasek from that list. He was a shade better than Howard.
Sooo Lukin2006, who pray tell is your hockey team of choice??
I just root for the Canadian teams in the playoffs...could care less about the regular season...so I'll be rooting for Vancouver to get to the finals and win it all...

I didn't say to remove the other two, they belong there but you can add Ken Dryden.

ya, I am not much of a Nuck fan.. but I have seen their back-up a couple times this playoff... Just saying, Jimmy is young and has done nothing but maybe put Detroit's goaltending whoas to rest for a few years to come..

Just felt I should point out that 12 of the players in Detroit's lineup tonight are over the age of 30.
I don't think they will be around long enough to help Howard become a front line goalie.

Power play killed Detroit. It was awful.
I agree about the PP...game 1 is the 1 that really got away from them...1-0 5-6 minutes left Bert takes a totally stupid charging penalty in the neutral zone, SJ ties it up...game goes to OT..Detroit get OT PP...does not score...then SJ scores...Detroit wins that game they probably win the series.
I think Detroit showed a ton of heart...as for SJ I don't think they were overly impressive after the 3-0 lead.

If you look at wins and rings, shouldn't Osgood be on the list??

He's not on my list...I know Detroit fans have them on their list...I think he was good but if he was great like Roy, Brodeur or those others he never would have been a back up or even been considered as a back up and if he was great ... over that same 20 year period of making the playoffs you could be looking at 8-9 cups instead of the 4.
I always wondered why Detroit never made a strong play for Roy when Montreal traded him...with him between the pipes you guys would have hoisted the cup a lot more than you have.

I get it.. but if that were the case, we never would have seen both Mike Vernon and Chris Osgood beat his stupid fucking ass.. I will always hate both him and Colorado.. Fuckin great years to be a Red Wings fan though..

Probably because Detroit pumped 9 goals behind him the day before he was traded.
He despised the Wings and would have never played for them.
