Right there is the sort of thing I'm talking about with Howard.
It's like he is just a split second behind on the puck. He's giving up bounces on shots that he shouldn't be having a hard time handling. That last one didn't even dribble to him, a soft smooth slide, and it initially rebounded off of him.
I'm not saying that every goal so far is his fault, but he has got to stop fighting the puck. I'm not going to rail on him too hard, this is his first NHL playoff experience after all, but he's going to have to pick it up if they want to make a splash in the playoffs this season.
