Jimmy Howard must go.

Over the past couple years, the Detroit Red Wings has had decent goal-tending with Jimmy Howard and has always been reliable.  This was until Petr Mrazek stepped up last year and showed the organization that he was more than just a backup.  This year Mrazek has claimed the starting position over Jimmy and has left the Wings with one question, "What to do with Jimmy Howard?" With having a starting goalie salary still, Jimmy takes up too much space for a back up and is not consistent in his playing to stay with our organization.  Over the course of this year, Jimmy has been very inconsistent and has shown that he often chokes under pressure.  Overall he is a decent goalie, but not starting material, he is constantly out of position, doesn't have the recovery time he used to and is terrible in overtime situations.  With a .903 save percentage and a 2.94 goals against average he has not shown the Wings that he is here to stay.  With that said, the issue of whom to trade for in order to get rid of him comes up.  With allstar players like Stamkos, and Drouin leaving the lightning after this year, it brings up possible trade rumors between these two teams. Also we could pick up more defense from Anaheim as there have already been rumors about Sami Vatanen coming over for Jimmy.  Whatever the case may be on thing is clear, the Red Wings need to get rid of Jimmy Howard.

Super Bowl

This past Super Bowl was an interesting one to say the least.  The retiring of one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game.  Personally i  wanted the panthers to win, I've always liked the panthers and rooted for them when they lost to the Patriots in 2004.   To me i thought this game was sort of rough to watch.  It was a very defensive game and frankly upsetting seeing that both offenses couldn't produce points.  Both defenses were unreal that game; it had looked like every time carolina was on offense, cam had only a matter of seconds before the broncos defense got to him.  I feel that Cam played by himself that game.  His receivers kept dropping the ball, he had no O-line, and rushed most of the yards.  Although I am upset about the outcome of the game, it was nice to see Peyton's final game winning the Super Bowl.

NHL all-star game

If anybody didn't know, the NHL All-star game was the this past weekend in Nashville.   It was interesting to see the changes that were implemented this year.  It was a nice change of pace to see the normal two team five on five match up turn into a new layout.  The 3 on 3 mini tournament consisting of 4 11 player teams turned out really well in my opinion.  With more room on the ice it was exciting to see the players cycling the puck more and more; along with several more breakaways, the games were never boring.  It was exciting to see Red Wings Forward, Dylan Larkin out there on the ice representing out team.  In my opinion it was especially awesome since Larkin grew up in th e town right next to mine, and he once practiced at the local arena where I have skated many times before.  Hopefully Larkin will fully develop into a Detroit superstar throughout his career here.
