People also make excuses for people they're repeatedly defending and justify humiliation for Mantha when their narrative has been against him for years

Happened in 2015 and 2016. Accused of having a "disappointing season" by Devalano, called a "spare part" by Holland in 2016.

Mantha was actually publically humiliated handled it will (I believe) AA was benched, handled it well. Mrazek gets benched, acts like a little kid. Sorry, not the Red Wing way at all.

Written by Ansar Khan too. Source is valid. I had a feeling Mrazek was a drama queen with his interviews he did with the Czech last year talking about how him and Howard "aren't really friends" or whatever the quote was. Keep things to yourself, keep your head high and work with the system. They're your superiors, deal with it.

Which is why I used the terms "most likely" and "hypothetically" and "maybe Mrazek"

Ott on PP but Sheahan is finally off. Took this coach 30 something games to realize that telly tubby isn't doing anything. How hilarious would it be if Ott scores on the PP?

Mrazek probably has more trade value than Howard. We wouldn't get jack s*** for Howard. Higher chance of getting a top 1 D-man for Mrazek. No chance of getting top 1D for Howard. Not even in a package unless it's an addition for salary dump, which even that isn't going to happen. So the question is, do you try to fix the defense and keep an "average" goalie? Or do you hang on to Mrazek hoping he turns out to be as good as he's hyped up to be? Coreau might not seem impressive but he's a big goalie and that's all it takes for goalies these days (look at how Ben Bishop wrecks us every playoff series). Ben Bishop is not a very skilled goalie btw. The Canadians have Price, but they also have elite players like Weber, Pacioretty, and great players like Galchenyuk. In the future, I'd rather have : #1 center (Larkin) #1 goal scorer (Mantha) #1 defenseman (whoever we trade Mrazek for) goalie (Howard/Coreau) Rather than- #1 center (Larkin) #1 goal scorer (Mantha) zero defense Maybe Mrazek ends up being elite...? --- Hypothetically if available we're not gettig a top 1 D man unless it's for Mantha, Larkin or maybe Mrazek. Pick your poison.

Well when you have Ford Motor, GM, Chrysler, Wayne State, Detroit Mercy, QuicknLoans in the neighborhood there's plenty of people with tickets who won't attend as well.

Three players in a slump put together.. Yea!

The seats are 100% sold out through Joe Louis. As in the Red Wings sell all their tickets. The reason those seats are empty is because whoever bought them in bulks didn't sell them. For instance you will see Ticketmaster, Stubhub tickets still on sale as 3rd party. That's most likely why it's "sell out" because on their end (the franchises end), they've sold all their tickets to consumers.

If he did that, he'd be a bad businessman. Part of his job is to sell. He's been doing that with the 260th or whatever sell out crowd in a row or whatever it was last home game. There is no "sentimental honesty" in the world of business. Some of you people are being so naive. We all know how it is, expecting him to say something to make our egos feel better aint happening. At the same time he's not bsing either. He's been blunt with the media and said it like it was at times. I'm actually surprised people here dont question the Illitches more. If anything they bear more responsibility than someone who simply works for them (Holland).

Ooooof the Holland hate is gettin real on the 10th Holland thread. 2018 he'll retire (or get promoted) and we'll get Steve Yzerman don't worry. And Yzerman will come here to become the Wayne Gretzky of the Phoenix Coyotes. On a serious note, let's be real. Holland said "less can be more exciting" to be optimistic. What did people expect him to say? "Hey guys, lets be honest, we have some s***ty players and our best players either ran away to Russia or skates slower than my grandmother. We are totally screwed" No respectable man is going to come out to the media and fans and say "we're screwed"

That's because people are arguing with each other

Of course Auston Mathews. GODAMIT.

This one I agree with 100%

Omg bench Smith too jesus. Coreau is seriously bailing some people out. What a game by him. 2 bad giveaways and he stood tall.

Can we bench Dekeyser? Holy crap.

What a game man. So much bipolarness both ways

That's not the only quote I would quote from tonight.

OH MY GOD~!!!

Tatar's toe drag is terrible, yet he always wants to use it.

Omg this is the fuinniest bit of segment I've watched. Defensive collapse and get scored on, then Coreau loses his stick and everyone is scrambling.

NBC always has to make sure they stand out as the worst broadcasting network in sports.

Wtf was the point of that segment lol.

Zet to Mantha Story of the season. What a bullet
