commentary...

the Red Wings have had a very inconsistent season,so far,after thirty games played,playing sometimes like world beaters,and then looking like puffballs... i will give you examples of each:opening night,against the St. Louis Blues,losing 6-0,and allowing three breakaways for goals,turning puck over,like the Washington Generals,against the Harlem Globetrotters,and then later on,losing 3-0,to the Columbus Blue Jackets,on a night that they sleepwalked through the game,and now the other examples of great wins,both against the Vancouver Canucks:a 8-3 massacre that was so dominating,that there were many players,who had multiple point games,in same game,and then a 5-1 stomping,in which Vancouver scored six seconds into game,and then Detroit clamped down so well,that Jimmy Howard looked like he had day off,and he was in goal,that night... most of the season,the team defense,and goaltending,has been very good,overall,but the offense has struggling,especially the power play on the road,in which they started zero for their first thirty seven,extending into their eleventh game,on the road(Valtteri Filppula finally ended that streak)... Jimmy Howard,their first string goaltender,has very good overall numbers(goals against average(G.A.A.),and save percentage)... he has been team M.V.P.,so far,if i had to vote on that...
