Actually Bill, the big mistake was starting Mrazek Sunday

Howard's been playing very well, Mrazek has been off of his game. Don't quite see the issue playing the hot hand when we desperately need wins?

Go Wings! we need them 2 points. Jimmy confirmed Look who hit the ice on optional morning skate.

Win.

Is it me, or has Abby been kinda quiet lately? Of course, they've all tailed off, Larkin, Mraz, even Dats. Please score more than one goal. The point is not to preserve the dubious record of no blanks for the season -- the point is to win. Play to win, don't play not to lose, OK? It's getting a bit too late to hope for a turnaround, the time is actually now. Don't hang your goalies out to dry (again) with no support. I am pretty much begging at this point. Hoping that the fact the FSD has this broadcast means NHL.tv or whatever they call the newly corrupted former "Gamecenter" doesn't black out this game, too. I haven't seen a game on my paid subscription since January, between NHL Network hijacking games and other arcane excuses for not broadcasting the Wings games. Sigh.... LGRW!!

I try on occasion. Victor is a God of sweep picking and slapping. I'm largely a finger style player specializing in rock, metal, and jazz (and I play in a lot of pits for musical theater productions). I can use a pick if absolutely necessary but prefer not to. I can't come close to what Victor does at this point. My big influences are Geddy Lee of Rush, John Myung of Dream Theater, Jaco Pastorius (RIP), John Pattitucci, Chris Wostenholme of Muse, and Eddie Jackson of Queensrÿche. Flea of RHCP and the guys who have played in CAKE are lesser influences.Back on topic, Girl, You Know It's True - Milli Vanilli. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RdSmokR0Enk I know they were fake, heck Incalled them out on it in 6th grade before,they got cut. Sorry for the ear worm.

He earned it, actually. I don't know if Blash is trying to make up for the mistake of playing Petr the last game vs Chicago by resting him for this one but I say it's the smart move to make. Petr already played vs Columbus and that driver's license test went to SO. IF he's recovering from an undisclosed sore then what's the point of forcing him to play early(again) if you have a Howard caliber "backup goalie"? let Jimmy do his job, and the defence and offense come out to play and back him up.

Mrazek earned the #1 tag by playing fantastic while Jimmy slumped and now it's the other way around. Why wouldn't you want the better goaltender (at the moment). One bad goaltending performance could be the difference of making the playoffs and not making it

oh I know obsession, obsession wakes you up at 2 am to find a stream to watch the USA vs Russia Sochi game. Or switching to the radio feed in GCL to follow the game. You know you'll always have a "firstrow" seat here at LGW

I've noticed. I have no actual life... just work like a fool all day and go home to watch Wings... and am prevented from doing so, by the NHL and their greed. It really isn't a mystery to me that Hockey doesn't do very well as a sport in the US. It's impossible to watch unless you are willing to do what I do -- struggle to find a way to see it. Most people aren't as obsessed as I am.

agree...let him rest and bring Mantha up for some games.

I cant speak for everyone, but when I personally said Babcock was overrated it was in response to people saying that he was the best coach in all of hockey by a mile. I think Babs was/is a great coach, he's maybe the best in the NHL (though its tough not to give that honor to Quenneville) but the reason why I think most including myself called him overrated was because of the pedestal some people put him on.

Forget it. He needs RICHARDS OFF HIS LINE like every other Red Wing.

Suck it up kid, you're not over thirty.

Green switches off fairly often, doesn't help. Our puck movement on the PP is abysmal.

well if the PP isn't working it's not up to the PP coach's momma to let him know, it is either up to Blash or Holland to make the adjustments if it's not working, right?
