Hronek with some nice mitts

DK and Howard are making my drunk go soft

It'd be great if Tatar scores in ot and celebrates by punching Andersen in the face.

With his size and skill set Svech could be a very good player for the Wings in the future if he continues to go to the front of the net. I don't think he'll be a super star by any means but who knows. Kids only 20.

They look good so far

You're spare parts aren't ya bud

If you're not going to block the shot gtfo of the way!

Wow Did Larkin ever get walked on that one and DK loves screening the goalie without ever blocking shots

And if Sheahan matched his goal total from last year. If Larkin didn't have a sophomore slump. If Tatar, Nyquist, DK, and others didn't regress. If AA and Mantha got big top 6 minutes all season. So many what ifs.

I can only watch the 1st period. Work sucks

David Farrance listed one spot below Hague is from my hometown. Saw him play high school as an 8th grader and man can this kid move the puck up ice. Really smooth skating puck moving defenseman. Not very big. Probably 5'11" 180lbs but he was fun to watch. Not saying we should draft him but awesome to see him moving up the rankings.

Beat me to it haha

I am probably just biased playing defense my whole life. Seeing the amount of space and chances the team as a whole gives up is ridiculous. There's no doubt that Mrazek has been as bad as the rest of the team. I wouldn't even be opposed to trading him for the right price. That's if Howard can stay glued together long enough to find another solid young goalie.

I agree Mrazek has had a bad year but as far as last nights game against the Rangers, I don't think there was much he could do. Two seam pass one timers to guys completely unmarked, two goals by their defenseman standing in our crease surrounded by red and still going untouched. 3 on 1 rush on the power play with 4 players caught behind their goaline. That can not, should not, happen at the NHL level. Mrazek needs to get his s*** together for sure. But he hasn't been the issue in every single game he's played like some want to think. After every goal there's always 5 or so posts blaming Mrazek, even if it's a 5 on 0 tick tack toe goal. Starting to get old.

AA will probably get benched for that through the legs shot

Defense fell apart really quick

How about you give everyone else a break. Everyone knows that this entire team is a complete mess outside of a few players. It's not just Mrazek.

3 on 1 shorthanded. Let's blame the goalie. That's logical. Yea he could have played it better but that play should have never happened

Yea I don't know if the young guys have attitude problems or not but if I was treated like Mantha or AA being referred to as spare parts or randomly being scratched while being a top player on the team I'd be pretty upset. Especially watching dumps like Miller, Sheahan and the other scrubs receive consistent ice time.

I pretty much agree with you on this but Sheahan and Miller are still a part of this team and therefore should be held accountable by their play. It does not look good to punish your good young players for making mistakes and learning when the vets on the team make the same mistakes, even worse mistakes and still get big minutes.

Can we just dump everyone on vegas and start from scratch?

I'd like to see some of these opposing forwards think twice before crashing the net or trying to screen the goalie. None of our current D even attempt to clear the front of the net and if they did I'm almost positive they would fail. Kronwall - Old. Broken. Soft DK - Soft Green - Mobile. Good offensively. Soft Jensen - Playing above expectations. Soft Ericsson - Giant. Pylon. Soft XO - Soft I would love to hang out in front of the Red Wings goal. Free points. No consequences

McIlrath. Ericsson is the worlds largest teddy bear

I'd call some of the young guys up to get their feet wet. 5-10 games to see where they are at in their development and see if they have what it takes to turn this team around sooner rather that later. No pressure now situation. The season is already lost. Just play your game. However they need to be played in their projected roles. Svech should play in the top 6 while he's up. Frk should get time on the 3rd line with some PP opportunities. Russo 2nd pairing. McIlrath 6th dman. Nosek could be 3rd or 4th line center.
