commentary...

i noticed one thing about Jimmy Howard... last night,as game ended,David Backes,hacked a stick at Howard,hit one of his leg pads,and Howard did not like it... referees had to break up the two... on March 22,2010,Howard went after Sidney Crosby,for a crosscheck,or something close to that,and Howard tore off his (Crosby's)helmet,and referees had to break them up,too... Howard has same temperament,as Chris Osgood,and Mike Vernon,who both fought Patrick Roy,near center ice,in separate Red Wings/ Avalanche games,during the great years of Avalanche/Red Wings rivalry....
