Position: Goaltender
Catches: Left
Vitals: 6'0'' / 162 lbs.
Birthdate: February 14, 1992

CSS Ranking: 25th North American Goaltender (2010)
SCOUT COMMENTS
"He's not huge in the net but by the way he competes, he plays bigger than what he is. He's got real good athleticism, he moves well post-to-post and he never gives up on any shots. If you're not that big and you move quick and can read the play well as he does, it makes up for size." — Red Wings scout Joe McDonnell (June 2010).
STRENGTHS
No. 1 asset in the Red Wings' eyes is his competitiveness ... Never gives up on a play, either battling for a sight line or diving with a last-ditch effort to stop a puck ... Acrobatic and athletic ... Quick lateral mobility ... Tremendous focus and confidence, key assets for a goalie.
WEAKNESSES
The days of Chris Osgood-sized goaltenders are fading, and while Mrazek isn't that small, he's definitely below-average in that department ... Was only a late-round pick because scouts have had limited viewing: Mrazek has never carried the starting load. Can he?

I'm just begging for a new player like Vladdy over here.
Does anybody here agree with those who think Vladdy was the Wings' best player when they won the cup in 97?

If you're Nabokov you gotta be thinking...
What should I do?
Should I admit the KHL was a mistake?
Should I not listen to my family? They're my family.
Should I have said the Islanders are a first class organization?
What should I do?
What should I do?
Maybe I should just retire.
Should I have told the Islanders to suck my wang?
Should I just say, "I am not a role model."?
Should I score another power play goal?
Should I go back to being "John"?
Should I admit I wasn't prepared for Team Canada?
Should I be who you want me to be?
What should I do?

Can't wait for someone to bump this thread when an injury to the face happens to someone.
Hopefully not a Red Wing. Pleeeeeeeeease?

Wings are going to be Hiroshima tonight: they're going to get bombed . 6-1 Bruins. Not going to start on time, going to turn the puck over, and Jimmy will be flopping like a bad imitation of Hasek.
(Let's try a little reverse psychology tonight )

Kindl's play has been pretty bad lately. He's committing bad turnovers and taking bad penalties. He looks way too slow and it is showing.

Hubby is not enjoying this game.
But I am!

Iflip is a huge part of this teams future. He should be called up before anyone else.

i agree, and it's so damn frustrating to watch right now. i think that's why a lot of us seem like we're giving up on the team.
however, this team is not even close to being as good as the '08 team. i watched every single game in '08 and the wings looked alright (most of the time) in losses.
to put it bluntly: "..or you got it, or you ain't"
this team 'ain't got IT' (prove me wrong, wings)
32-11-7
but in 54 games:
'08 team 40-10-4 84 points
'11 team 32-16-6 70 points
that is far off. and besides that, it's not just about the team record. it's about how they play. if the playoffs started today the wings would lose in the first round.

Shutout.
Shutout.
Shutout.
Shutout.
Shutout.

you know back in the day I hated forsberg with a passion but really good on the guy for making a comeback to the game he loves so much. It really shows the dedication he has to the game. I kinda miss the old foppa cause he was sooooo sweet when he was lightin it up with the avs.

Just cuz...

Anybody ever seen the movie Se7en?
"I've been trying to figure something in my head, and maybe you can help me out, yeah? When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe you're just sitting around, reading "Guns and Ammo", masturbating in your own feces, do you just stop and go, "Wow! It is amazing how ******* crazy I really am!"? Yeah. Do you guys do that?"

We will be in Deetroit for that game. I will lose my voice and be grateful for the chance to do so.
I know octopi are smuggled in to games. Anybody know how to sneak in a small baseball bat? Maybe a lead pipe?
And no, it won't fit there...!

I wouldn't be against making it illegal for him to play hockey at all. But that's me.

Toskala is at least Finnish. Shoutout to all the Finnish fans and fans of Finnish players on here, wooo!

We tried to send him a contract. He never got it. It went five hole.

I hope he burns in hockey hell.

Funny stuff.
"Penguins fans complaining about Ovechkin's knee-on-knee hit against Gonchar and at the same time using it to sanction a knee-on-knee hit against Ovechkin by Cooke. Hypocrisy at its finest."
