Jimmy Howard says Canucks a bunch of Idiots

Alexandre Burrows' shootout-winner celebration -- pretending to break his hockey stick across his knee -- Thursday night likely didn't earn more friends in the NHL. Not only had the Canucks defeated the Wings, 4-3, they also halted Detroit's NHL-record home winning streak at 23. Burrows sent a clear message with his sophomoric move -- the streak is broken. After Friday's practice, Red Wing goalie Jimmy Howard was asked if he saw what Burrows did after he scored against him. "I don't even pay attention," Howard said of the Canucks. "They've got a bunch of idiots over there. There are only several good guys on that team, and they know who they are."

Shacks' Take: Another day, another Canuck bashing story.  It's funny how most of these comments occur after the Canucks have just beat the whining player's team.  You have to love the class of the Red Wings' organization as they had the story pulled from their local broadcaster FOX's website to try and avoid the controversy that will likely ensue, but like anything on the internet, once it's posted it will get reposted. 

I'm from the old school, I believe unless you've won something yourself, shut up.  If this comment was coming from Lidstrom or Datsyuk, I'd pay attention, but it comes from a young goalie without the credibility to assess any team or player.  Jimmy you lost a tough game.  Man up and accept it, don't go calling out the opposition that just beat you, it makes you look like the idiot
