eventhough he didnt get on the scoresheet thornton absolutely dominated this game. he was an absolute beast in physical battles and as usual he was the best passer on the ice with truly amazing vision. In the offensive zone he cycled the puck and registered four shots on net. He also played played really great defensively in the sharks zone and in regards to breaking out into the neurtral zone. basically,

ya howards has definitely exceeded my expectations so far. Just nitpicking would be to say he shouldnt have let the sharks get under his skin as much as it seemed near the end of the game. he seemed enraged and is punching and slashing guys after the whistle, he got called for a minor last game and if he doesnt settle down a little more he may get a penalty that costs his team later in the series.

meh hes a frustrated goalie. sharks are doing anything they can to get under his skin and snowing him after every whistle is most certainly bothering him. i dont blame him though, i'd be frustrated too if I made 44 saves and 35 saves in 2 games and my team decides they don't feel like playing well in front of me.

i agree sharks coulda had 4 or 5 easily but howie has been great and if the wings actually help out howard for once this series then sharks wont get nearly as many scoring chances.

sharks have been the better team by far so far this series but the wings have not played even close to the way they can play. looking forward to see the wings play with some desperation in front of their home crowd in game 3.

Can't that go both ways? Niemi was terrible multiple times in the LA series, odds are he won't play nearly as well as he did today in games 3/4.

I love that exchange at the end of the game with pang and thornton.

Pang: " joe, whats changed in your game."

joe: "Nothin."

Sure... If both goalies play to their average self (whatever that means), the Sharks are still likely in the same spot being up 2-0. Sharks have outplayed Detroit in both games and Howard has given his team a chance to win despite them being outplayed.

lol being the "same old joe that we all know" is one that chokes in the playoffs and was basically forced out of boston. pretty sure you're trolling though so ill stop responding to ya.

these are lame penalties that shouldn't be called (hi stick excluded) because the wings are up by one.

Oh man, reading posts like this I can't wait to see what Hip has to say about today's game

Disappointing

Still pretty entertaining to watch idiots like GREEEEARRR talk a bunch of **** before the series year after year and then just turn into bitter pathetic people once the team they support for 2 weeks per season starts losing (or nu.tsho.t, who apparently only plans on posting ITT when SJ is behind in a game)
