Yeah Im arguing in another thread that he deserves the Calder this year. Almost everyone thinks Myers is getting it but Howard is the MVP in Detroit this year.
Would someone tell me what is not to like about this kid? Is the Wings D just really good at limiting the looks the opponents get? His numbers are pretty damn good for a rookie.
The reason I ask is that I grabbed him early in the season to try and put a bandaid on my goalie woes and he has done way more than that. I always thought I would have to make a serious move on a goalie this season for the future but now with Howard and Hiller, I am not so sure that is necessary.

Wow. Hiller and Howard are looking like great gambles to have taken a chance on right now. I only wish I were so lucky!

Right now I say it's Myers for the Calder but he keeps playing like this and stopping 40+ shots a night he will easily overtake Myers.

What do you mean "keep playing like this"? He's been doing this all year!

Well I took a dubious stance a couple of months ago and moved Nabbie in a trade that saw Hiller come back. Time will tell if getting younger in goal is going to help in seasons ahead. I knew Hiller to be solid and it was the other pieces of the deal that were likely more important but yeah I am not unhappy with the turn of events.
Howard has been a pleasant surprise and his play has been outstanding. He seems to always be in good position; that combined with his size has resulted in some impressive stats and play.
Who da thunk that scoring goals would be the problem for the Wings and that goaltending would be stellar?!
The playoffs will be the test for Howard. Yes, Wings will squeeze in.
Yeah I think they will get in - with some goaltending now, they will find a way to score enough goals.
