Eliotte Friedman just said on Hockey Night, that Jimmy Howard is going to be retiring.
Holland apparently reached out to him, after Anton Forsberg was picked up off of waivers.Eliotte Friedman just said on Hockey Night, that Jimmy Howard is going to be retiring.
I think Howard is a goalie that could have been the guy on a cup winner the first 6 or 7 years of his career. Bummed that the guy got stuck on Detroit as the wheels were coming off.

Jimmy Howard to retire after 14 years with Red WingsHe was goalie for a couple pretty good teams. He faltered in a few key moments.
He was one of those guys who got paid well and long term despite not really proving his value.
Not as bad as Ericsson/Abdelkader, but in that group.

Jimmy Howard Stats and News
I realize all thatYou just opened up Pandora's box lol.
Jimmy's story is quite simple, he was an above average starting goalie who did have a few duds in the playoffs when he was young, who at around the halfway point in his career started to become injury prone. Then the cycle repeated itself every single season.....he played great, got injured, played like crap.
Do you mind expanding on this? Lumping him with Abdelkader (only got his contract because of playing with Datsyuk who even acknowledged how much of an anchor he was) and Ericsson (who never even broke the 20 point barrier) seems pretty insane without demonstrating it in any way.He was goalie for a couple pretty good teams.

Define "solid". He flamed out pretty bad.. should have kept Mrazek...Solid career. Best of luck to him
