And now has a stellar GAA of 4.32 and SP of .970. Still 3 goals after his start up here is not good, imho.

I would think any shutout would be outstanding. Glad to see he's doing well. Still not a fan, but glad anyway.

Nobody is asking you to be a fan, just to give credit where credit is due and not be so critical. And amazingly you have done that here. |

Can you explain that? Just out of curiosity. I realize no one asked, Linz. I was just offering a personal observation. And yes, I will give Drew credit when he deserves it. But on the other hand you don't seem to be able to criticize regardless of how he plays.

Which brings us back to the whole argument about Jimmy...No matter how bad he plays some people look for other excuses instead of putting it on him.
Drew is playing well for a Toledo Storm team that lets be honest isn't that great...no offense Linz. Even their coach said if it weren't for Drew they would have lost more games.

5hole - What exactly is it that you want me to explain? You obviously know nothing about me if you think I can't criticize players, no matter if I know them or not. I can criticize just fine, thanks. But he hasn't played poorly that I've seen, and I've seen every game he's played for us. Would you like me to start making a list of every single little thing that he does wrong? His overall performance has been great. Sure, the first few games he gave up too many rebounds, he can get out of position, but that isn't "bad". He hasn't "lost" a game yet. And I haven't seen him do anything to make me be critical of him. These past couple of weeks have proved why he should be up in the AHL. He is finally getting back to what seems to be the form he was in at the beginning of the season up there (I wouldn't exactly know, as I didn't see him play up there this year).
GW - No offense taken, I know my team isn't great. And I've never claimed that they were. They are far from it. Drew has keep us in the game too many times, and that isn't right. He has no help on defense, and well, our forwards just don't want to do much of their job lately. Things seem to be picking up, though, as we are 5-0-1 in our last 6, 8-1-2 in our last 11. Hopefully no goalies in the Detroit chain get injured, or even traded, as we just lost our other goalie that is capable of being a number 1 to Finland. Drew is going to be getting plenty of playing time for however much longer he is here.

Yes, some Griffins fans do follow the Storm checking up on Drew's progress down there. From what I've heard Drew has been playing great down there.
Since Grif Fan is an ex-goalie maybe he could start making a list of all the bad things Joey and Jimmy do during a game. Then Lynz could make a list of the bad things Drew does and we can compare.
The ECHL is by no means a walk-in-the-park league to play in. I know a few people that are either in the league or have played there and its not a "joke" league anymore. My friend's ex bf played for te Storm last year.
But Drew is playing and playing well which is what everyone said he neded to do -- make the most of his playing time.

Linz, What I wanted explained is how any shutout isn't outstanding? Not your OPINION of Drew's play. I knew before you started what that would be. He has played well while in Toledo, no ?, but even in giving up 6 goals in his first game you could find nothing to fault him for, that by itself makes the point.
I, for one, think Howard should be in Toledo and Drew back in GR. Even tho I'm not a fan of his, I know when a guy deserves to be up. But alas the RedWings don't see it that way. I don't understand their hurry, but they are in charge.

Linz, What I wanted explained is how any shutout isn't outstanding? For me it is all about circumstance. I think any shutout is great... but outstanding depends on the situation. Considering this was a road game, and we had lost to the same team the night before, it was pretty outstanding to win 5-0. He has played well while in Toledo, no ?, but even in giving up 6 goals in his first game you could find nothing to fault him for, that by itself makes the point. There you just said yourself... 6 goals in his first game. His first game in about a month. Could you please show me where I found "nothing to fault him for"? I'm 100% positive you'll find no such thing. You seem to have selective reading comprehension. I was asked by a couple people to keep them posted on how Drew does down here. That's all I've been trying to do. Unfortunately, you'll never receive a lengthy, detailed recap of a game from me. My brain doesn't allow me to operate that way, which is why I'm not a reporter (thank heavens for that). I can only comment on an overall performance, something really bad that happened, or something really good that happened. Maybe if you want to pick out all the "faults" you should watch the games yourself. |

Linz, I know that some of us really appreciate yourrecaps because we can't see games or keep up with Drew's progress as much as we'd like. Your reports are very much appreciated and I do hope you keep them coming.

A goalie's job is to stop the puck. No where does it say 'only if he's played recently'. 3 goals, I would say OK, maybe even 4 but 6!!!! c'mon. Go read your 'recap' on the Wheeling game. I'm not at all selective, I read every word you posted, and I think you'll find nothing against Drew. In fact, you make excuses FOR him.

Drew's first outing was not his best by a longshot. He gave up a couple of softies after an outstanding first period. But he has gotten better each game. It's how he progresses that counts, not how he did in a game a month ago. Harping on his first game is pointless. Everything about his game, statistically, is going in the right direction. He needs to show Detroit he's worthy of another shot. If he keeps progressing he'll get that shot. Detroit has been keeping an eye on him.
Jimmy's not going anywhere. Detroit wants him in GR regardless of how he does. His confidence seems to be intact even after his latest string of bad outings. That is the big difference between Jimmy and Drew as far as the mental aspect of the game goes. Jimmy has more confidence and is not easily rattled. Even after Jimmy has given up a soft goal or 2 he'll come back and make some incredible saves and still challenges shooters. Drew would be back on his heels and would play deep in the net.
