    At least Nyquist is fast though. Tatar is a s***ty skater tbh.

    I didn't but I'm seeing a lot of people in Michigan putting it up on their facebook.

    Small players in this league can thrive if they have smarts or speed. Tatar has neither. He's a rag doll. What he did in his first year or so could be seen as luck. When the league figured him out he started sucking. That's the bottom line and it's a red flag whether you like it or not. Goalies come into the league hot and when teams figure them out, they easily get exposed.

    Will Red Wings draft Todd Bertuzzi's son Tag?

    The bright side is we squeak into playoffs and win the Cup as underdogs.

    I get it but I doubt Mrazek all of a sudden brings us a huge return anyways. Put it this way, him playing lights out this next month before deadline does not make his crap performance the last 2 years go away. Get what I'm saying?

    It doesn't matter what you or I realize. The point I'm making is the org has a vision and it's not the same as yours.

    What part of "the Red Wings still think they can make the playoffs" do you not understand? I feel like you think the Red Wings should revolve around Petr Mrazek. They don't. Theoretically they can still make the playoffs by the way. Aren't you a Wings fan? Or are you that consumed by Mrazek..?

    Screw Mrazek and his feelings. Clearly the franchise doesn't give a s*** about him and is going with the better goalie for now. Only you and a few other minority actually give a damn about Mrazek and you are having a hard time moving on. Truth hurts, get over it man. He's a backup, for all we know they might not even want to trade him and keep him around as long as they want until Jimmy hits the bucket. He's an employee nothing more. Tell me, how long until you get over the idea that Mrazek is not going to have any favors done for him? Serious question.

    This is a typical response of a Howard hater. Thank you for proving my point. You have absolutely no grasp of how much bias you spew out unfortunately. You want Howard to back down and let Mrazek gets starts even though he's the superior goalie? What kind of logic is that? People who do well are rewarded in this world period. No one is going to do any favors for your boy Mrazek. You actually think this world works that way? Sorry to burst your bubble and fantasy land way of thinking. People strive to be the best and expect rewards not punishment. A backup is a backup. Get over it dude.

    Wtf are you talking about? Go look at the last 7 starts Howard had. Do you even look stuff up before you start spewing out stuff? Howards played really well. So why the hell should he not be starting? His Sv% in his last 7 starts is averaging 94%. That's one of the best in the league right now. @ PIT 1 0 1 0 0 36 4 .889 0 59:55 Jan 5 vs FLA 1 1 0 0 0 40 2 .950 0 59:58 Jan 3 vs OTT 1 1 0 0 0 34 1 .971 0 60:06 Dec 31 vs PIT 1 1 0 0 0 38 1 .974 0 60:00 Dec 29 vs NYR 1 1 0 0 0 39 2 .949 0 65:00 Dec 27 @ NJD 1 0 1 0 0 31 2 .935 0 59:00 Dec 23 @ BOS 1 0 1 0 0 25 2 .920 0 The way you guys talk, you make Jeff Blashill sound like Albert Einstein with his decision making. Christ the amount of intelligence on this forum is marvelous. Jimmy Howard is the better goalie period. He's the starter of this team period. He's played excellent in his last 7 starts period. Quit being in denial. Mrazek sucks. Just because he got 1 good game doesn't mean you somehow turn him into a starter and reward him with double starts. That makes zero sense and is the dumbest coaching strategy I've heard to date. Even if Howard does poorly tonight, he should still start the next game because that would just be one bad game out of the last 8 he's played. Sometimes I feel embarrassed at the level of intelligence the Red Wings fan base carries. I go to the Hawks forums and at least they have fans who can admit Jonathan Toews is overrated. I come here and we have people who want Mrazek starting consecutively even tho Howard is clearly better. We're getting worse than Montreal fans.

    Are you not smart enough to understand the concept of a backup goalie? Generally when backups play a game, it's to give a starter a break. Once they've played the game, the starter starts the next one. Mrazek is a backup FYI. The Red Wings have been dead clear about it. It's just people like you are having a hard time understanding the simple concept. (or maybe in denial about it) Manny Legacy gets a shutout in 2001. Dominic Hasek still plays the next game. You know.. because Legacy was Hasek's backup.... Same goes for all the other backups in the history of hockey.

    I think you don't realize that the Wings still think they have a chance to make the playoffs.

    Z has 16 points in his last 16 games. Not too bad for an oldie.

    Cogliano's Consecutive Games Streak Ends

    Quit crying you baby. Follow the rules. Just kidding. That's pretty sad. A stupid way to have your streak ended. I'm sure they'll still count it as "most consecutive games played not counting suspension" if he keeps at it.

Larkin got the most love in 2015; the list isn't accessible to me but Detroitnews quoted it in that second link.

    Corey Pronman - Top 50 NHL Prospects

    I saw that he had Mantha at 55 in 2016. I wouldn’t read too much into it. Seems like he liked Larkin though in 2015 at rank 10

    Yea, saw the video. It’s pretty BS. But if they’re sticking to the whole “avoid conussions and brain damage on late hits” stuff then I can see why the cracked down.
