Is it bad that I want Mrazek to take a shot at the empty net if he gets the chance?

Hell yeah Dom!!! THANK YOU FOR 2002!!! You showed Roy who was the man!!

It would be sweet if he broke a post. But a goal that ripped through the net would be sweeter.

That's all Tatar's fault.

I thought that was Hudler. I'd rather see him make a good hockey trade rather than a trade for the sake of making a trade.

So glad Petr could go out there and congratulate Dom Now go and kick their asses!!

Good job boys!

*off topic* Who do I have to get drunk and take advantage of to get Ryan O'Reilly on this team? Patrick Roy? Because I'm willing to take one for the team here...

Hell yeah tats

helm is playing great

All Tatar had to do was shoot, instead of that pass. geez!

I want Pulks to launch a slapper right up someone's ass and into the net

WHOOO HOOO! HE FINISHED!!!!!

Well Hasek was his idol. lol

I didn't say now, I said in the next year or two. A year or two makes for an exceedingly different story. Howard has four more seasons on his deal at a relatively heavy cap hit after this season. If Mrazek plays strong this season and comes in next year in a backup role and continues to play up to snuff with Howard, I don't think Howard's sticking around unless Howard win's a Cup this year or next. And bear in mind, when push comes to shove, he hasn't proven much in the post-season yet. He's lost more games than he's won, doesn't have stellar numbers, and while you can't single-handedly fault him for our playoff failures as of late, he has yet to perform in the playoffs as well as he's performed in the regular season when he's been on. And that said, he's absolutely had some inconsistent regular seasons in a not so long career. I'm not saying I don't like Howard nor am I saying that I don't think he's capable of leading this team to a Cup. I think he's a very good goalie and I honestly do like him a lot. But realistically speaking, he doesn't have anything close to a strong playoff resume yet, and if he doesn't get one soon, he's going to be in a position where he's expendable if Mrazek proves he's ready to be the number one guy. If Mrazek is at least as good as Howard, and many think he'll be better, there's just no way you can justify keeping Howard into his mid-30s given his cap hit unless Howard becomes a Stanley Cup winning goalie in the next 1-2 years. (And again, to be clear, I do believe that's possible.) I'll be pleasantly surprised if he's back in a month.

Because of that one time Mrazek got burned in Calgary. We all know that on LGWs, one time = labeled for all eternity. Mrazek is actually two zillion times better at playing the puck (including NOT getting caught) than Howard is. Am I exagerting? Perhaps. But, when in Rome................

Good win.

Love Pasha! Got to be "check of the game"

Knew that was coming. Cats always get their first against us.

1. Last game 2. Franzen I believe 3. Hasn't really had a chance to shine yet. Has a wicked slapper for sure.

My favs when he came out to fight Roy Goalies always seem to have trouble with Nyquist's shot

Unspoken but players know how to get their coach fired ... just play half arsed for a month, go on losing streak, bingo.
