from a blog:
Howard made 32 saves in the 4-2 victory over the Ducks, moving to
10-5-1 on the season with a stellar 1.85 GAA. (okay, so far so good.
less than 66% win ratio, nothing to write home about, but its not bad.
how many shutouts? oops, mustnt be great)
This came after a 23-save performance in a win over the Los Angeles
Kings on Saturday night. (ok, howard won 2 in a row. yet 23 saves is
hardly a major confidence builder, any team that shoots such few shots
is a pretty shitty team)
Howard had "recorded shutouts in three of his previous five starts
vs. the Ducks," according to MLive.com. (ok. three shutouts against a
single team. not sure how this relates to the story as he didnt get a
shutout, but this next tidbit is a REAL humdinger...)
And yet he was left off the NHL All-Star Game ballot …
WHAT? ONE TEAM HE GETS 50% SHUTOUT (3 shutouts in NOW 6 previous
games, and thats not necessarily the previous 6 games the wangs have
played gainst the ducks, but only howard's "starts"..perhaps he was
pulled a game or two for choking..no mention) and he's not on the
ballot? wheres the logic? MAYBVE, and thats a big maybe, if he gets 3
shutoputs in the past 6 games total it'd be an injustice. but thats
still too small of a sample size to warrant all star. not gonna see
Cookie on that list even though, according to Errey, he wants that
Lady Byng award (based on personal speculation, from what i could
gather of last night's commentary)
logic: he's a wang and he's not on teh ballot. where's their 4th
line grinder on that all star list? and that 3rd line Dman who chokes
up odd man rushes ? BUT HE'S A WANG! WHERES THE JUSTICE!
