Injury Report: Howard Out 1-2 Weeks with Grade 1 MCL Sprain (Post #9)

[NyquistIsMyGod*]

Jonas Gustavsson, in search of that 3.5 contract in the off-season. Have to think so if he could play around 33 games and post a save percentage over .930%

I think he'll have a hard time getting that sort of raise with the guys who could be on the market next summer.

Just when Mrazek is ready to make it and we don't need an FA backup, we get that crop of goaltenders.

Jimmy Howard skating with team at Air Canada Centre for fort time since MCL sprain. Not due back until Dec. 30 or later.

I think the 3 biggest names on that list will get re-signed before July 1st though. Hiller, Miller, and Halak. After those three, it's not a very good crop of goalies.

He should borrow Mrazeks....they are much nicer.

so all these player have special pads and helmets but there are only 2 games. I'm sorry but if Petr is on the bench I'ma be pissed. idc if its for the Wings or Griffins the Kid deserves to start. its either Howard recovers in time or Petr should start.

Maybe they'll start with backups for 1st period and change for the real starter after that, so both goalies on the roster can participate.

I thought about that. and while that works for all star games, its not the same here. this game is worth points within division and were close to fighting for the last playoff spot. we need 1 goalie all game. unless Z leads our offense to a 3-4 goal lead with 10 minutes left or something. the Griffins game could work though seeing as they destroy every team they face when there line up is full. which it should be come the classic.
