I'll put this here since I put it at the end of last games thread... not sure if anyone got to see.

Since I was interested I figured I'd look up the stats on SO this year for Detroit. Not to include OT, SO exclusively.

2014-2015(this year)
Howard W/L=0/4, Goals/SO attempts=7/12... 42% Save Percentage
Mrazek W/L=1/1, Goals/SO attempts=0/3... 100% Save Percentage

2013-2014
Howard W/L=3/8(last 3 SO's of year were all wins), Goals/SO attempts= 8/28... 71% Save Percentage
Gustavsson W/L=2/6, Goals/SO attempts=6/23... 74% Save Percentage


Maybe Howard will improve again in SO's before the end of this year?? But he has been really frustrated this year in SO's and it seems like it's getting into his head. We usually only score 1 goal in 3 shooters, so we have room to help him out. But 42% save percentage in the SO is really dismal. We just really need to try something new, because whatever we are doing now isn't working. Why I suggested trying to pull Howard for only the SO in the first place. It could even motivate him to do better.

This should be a real good game - Panthers playing good hockey and so are the Wings

You know how to stop a panther from charging? Take away his credit card.

Panthers in the box 2 minutes for tripping.

Detroit DJ plays the Beatles song, "Day Tripper."

Datsyuk with the shot...Sheahan with the stuff in. 1-0 Wings!

This team is really, really fun to watch right now.

Does the Detroit PA guy bring out some Blue Swede for a hooking call?

 

[Cobiemonster]

Shots on goal after 1:

FLA 15

It was a lot more lopsided in Florida's favor about 5 minutes ago.
