From the Detroit News’ Ted Kulfan:
At the grand old age of 26, you hope Jimmy Howard won’t be discriminated against for his age.
Howard is a finalist for the Calder Trophy, symbolizing the NHL’s rookie of the year. He’s up against Buffalo defenseman Tyler Myers, 19, and Colorado forward Matt Duchene, 18, two worthy candidates. Both players are younger than Howard and neither played in the minor leagues, as Howard did for four seasons.
Howard is, without a doubt, the elder statesman in this group. The much older brother. Ancient, even.
