Congrats Jimmy. (and to the other "product of the system" goalies mentioned too...)

Jimmy Howard won his 20th game of the season for Detroit on Monday, making him the first NHL goaltender to reach that milestone this season, and the second straight season in which he was the first to 20. Howard is the first goaltender to be the first to 20 wins in consecutive seasons since Ken Dryden did it for Montreal in 1971-72 and 1972-73. In the NHL's expansion era only two other Red Wings goaltenders have been the first to 20 wins in a season: Chris Osgood in 1995-96 and Tim Cheveldae in 1991-92.

Just win, baby, just win...

It would have taken me an awful lot of guesses before I got to that name

 

[mattola]

im confuseD? Tim Cheveldae was not a product of Detroit. wasnt he a Winnipeg Jets draft choice traded to Detroit?

 

[dash]

Yes, he was...Then he was acquired by Detroit and changed his name to Tim Chevrolet.

Fuck you. I came to Mattola's post and thought for a FULL MINUTE about which of the various Chevrolet jokes I could use and then I scrolled down one more post...

In net, he was like a rock.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Well, they are playing the Canucks the night prior, so there's a good chance they'll be out of gas (3rd game in 4 nights)
