roboturner .. you still mad bro!

roboturner ... U mad bro. Stop already. Mrazek plays a few good games and you want to trade Howie ... You can tell from these past few games that you want to commit to Mrazek for the next 11-12 years? Or you'd trade him as soon as his backup puts in a few good games in a row? Do you have any idea what respect, loyalty, and class means in an organization. If Kenny did what you suggested, no one would want to sign here ever again.

Just woke up from my Sun afternoon nap ... I knew it was a bad idea to start Mrazek again on a back to back. Secondly, I just have to laugh at all the Mrazek for Vezina, 'let's trade Howie for some pieces' fan boys in the other thread.

Mrazek or McCollum in net?

They should just sign Shero and Bylsma and be done with it.

It was a good and fair win ... Nashville had their #2 goalie (then #3) in net and we had to go without our #1 as well.

See bolded part. NOTHING replaces experience in playoffs.

What's the rule ... how many games or mins do you have to chalk up before you get listed? I just checked and saw 14 games as the lowest. Pretty close to Howie's stat - 2.11 GAA an .920 % ... we got ourselves a pretty good tandem. Jennings?

Time to fire the Interim coach ... they are pathetic. Now what is Shanny going to do, fire Nonis?

Nashville a one trick pony? Name of pony ... Rinne.

Yah, that seems to be the criteria for winning it ... or some coach for the first time who gets lucky. Roy, MacLean ... I mean seriously, MacLean gets one before Babcock? The body of work through the years is not a factor they take into consideration. Let's see how the most recent winners are doing: Roy - 2nd year coaching, team in 10th place MacLean - fired, unemployed Hitch - pretty steady Bylsma - let go, unemployed Tippet - probably going to be looking for a new job soon Julien, Boudreau, Vigneault - doing well. Lindy Ruff in Dallas - strugglig a bit there Tortorella - At this rate, they might hand it to Capuano in NYI this year.

Because he's been a huge disappointment so far ...

Babcock is the best coach that has never won a Jack Adams ... I mean seriously, all the press saying he will be highest paid, most sought after free agent coach come this summer, nominated a few times but never won it. Just as valuable of an award as GM of the year.

I think this plus big $$ might be the thing that swings Babs over ... more so with the GM/Coach. I understand Roy has something like (control over player personnel) but not officially GM on his title, is that right?

Depends how you see the All Star games. If it is some sort of reward, send the young kids like Tatar or Nyquist. If it is a pain in the arse for players, then send Weiss or Franzen as punishment. I know ... teams don't send players, the NHL's office does but if it were up to the team.

A week ago, people were screaming to trade for a goalie cuz they didn't think Mrazek could get it done ... now people are proposing we trade Howie and let Mrazek run with it (in another post). I thought the Wings fan base was more intelligent than that ... guess I was wrong.

... is OP serious?

Misleading title ... Paquette didn't really learn.

Great job ... that win was for the Dominator

WTH was Cooke doing with the post whupping leg grab ??!!

Congrats JH ... do you think that last night was just an 'act' cuz he didn't want to go to the boring and meaningless NHL All Star weekend, rather rest and enjoy life at home

Damn ... c'mon guys ... win it for Howie.

Monster ... is he still on the Wings payroll? Out of sight, out of mind.

We can pull this off ... after Jimmy went down, it seems like we're playing solid. I trust Mrazek for the short haul .... don't know how he'll do if Howie is out for a long time though .

Yes, the murders in Paris were tragic and terrible ... and should be condemned. Freedom of speech is to be valued and fought for however, to repeatedly use it to mock a religion's sacred leader is disrespectful and classless. With freedom comes responsibilities. Every right implies a responsibility; Every opportunity, an obligation, Every possession, a duty.
