Possibly the most important penalty kill of the season? Datsyuk should kill it.

Holy s*** Kronwall

Why yes they will.

Will Toronto help Detroit? #originalsixpals?

Chill out.

Montreal is secretly trying to help Detroit. #originalsixpals

Imagine that... Ferschwieler would be our head coach. Should watch Toronto play.

Their dignity consists of 24 straight playoff appearances. If you want that gone then I guess...

He'll come around but it's not the right time see which game. Totally think Petr should be benched rest of the season. For the sake of the team. I have nothing against Mrazek. He's my favorite goalie (besides Quick) Yep I started it. I love Petr. I strongly think he'll win the Vezina one day.

I know I jinxed the crap out of Petr lol.

I know for whatever reason Blash is one stubborn dude about starting Petr. Most of our losses this entire month have been because Blash hasn't recognized that his number 1 goalie is in the biggest slump of his career thus far.

Sometimes truth makes people do that.

Tell me about it.

Lol yep. Petr Mrazek ladies and gentleman. Our coach is one stubborn idiot when it comes to his goalies.

Sounds like another goaltender in the franchise. James Russell Howard III

First of all you're saying "If" and equating it to "is" therein lies the biggest flaw in your argument. Stamkos is a proven player and Larkin and Mantha (I have no idea why the hell Mantha is even in this conversation because even Larkin is in a different skill league than Mantha is at the moment) have a s*** ton to prove. Second when you start a paragraph with "if Stamkos was that great" you're already hinting at not having any idea what kind of player Stamkos is. Stamkos at one point was regarded as the 2nd best / 3rd best player in the world in the early part of this decade. Do you know what that means? Larkin isn't even considered a top 20 player at this point. And lol are you really trying to make the argument that because he hasn't signed an extension with Tampa yet that means he's not good? Wtf does that mean??? That's like me saying "Well if Mrazek was so good why haven't the Wings signed his next contract yet?" Chill out. He's likely going to test free agency or work a deal once the playoff push is finished. Stamkos has all the power in the world right now when it comes to his contract. He gets to choose where he plays and likely will be one of the highest paid players. Larkin is the future face of the team so he's going to get high pay. I don't know if Mantha will get as much as Larkin with the 5 NHL games he's played I don't think any hockey guru has the super power to predict that. And if anyone else wants to get paid $9 mill they can find another team that would pay them that much. I'm not sure who "anyone else" would be at this point anyway.

If they win tonight. We're in for a show people.

This is a flawed argument. You're comparing Steven Stamkos, a guy who scored 51 goals and 95 points when he was 19 years old to Dylan Larkin who hasn't even hit 50 points as a 19 year old yet. And you're also talking about Anthony Mantha who only just now made the NHL roster after 2 years in AHL. I mean 51 goals by Stamkos. Thats more than the total amount of points Larkin has acquired lol. Do you see how insane your comparison is? Stamkos and Larkin are in entirely different leagues. Larkin and Mantha aren't going to ask for Stamkos' salary and the thought is already probably making Ken Holland chuckle.

Even excluding stats - Mrazek has choked in the first two periods of a few games. This isn't a time of the year where you can do that. It seems Howard sucks at closing out games while Mrazek sucks at starting them. They should tandem in-game

The Beard fist pumping Mr. Hockey. What a moment. Hope Howe loved the bday gift win!

He is. http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2016/03/red_wings_goalies_especially_p.html During March, Mrazek has a 3-5 record, 3.81 GAA and .887 save percentage. Howard has been the Red Wings' more consistent goalie in the past five weeks with a 3-2-1 record, 2.80 GAA and .911 save percentage in nine appearances. I don't get why people (not you chaps) just can't accept the fact that Mrazek sucks right now. It's not a bad thing. People go through sucky stretches all the time. What's important is winning. Especially now. I think Howard is the better goalie (only by a bit) at the moment. I'm sorry but as a fan I care more about winning than being stubborn and not accepting reality. As much as I've NEVER been a Howard fan. He should play over Mrazek. Plain and simple.

Start Howard again tomorow.

Basically our biggest defenseman and actually uses his size at times. Other than that not sure.

Nyquist is one good lookin dude.
