Oh Lefty.. You don't get it do you? You answered your own question.
Why does said person get to bash Mrazek every flicking thead? Because now you know how much you annoyed everyone with Franzen. No worries, I'm not trying to flame you or pick a fight, I'm simply giving perspective.
I don't think said poster actually hates Mrazek at all. I think the poster is teaching us all a very valuable lesson when the situation is flipped. Maybe a reminder that the years and years of Osgood, Howard, Franzen hate was ludicrous. And suddenly when it's the poster child of the forum (Mrazek)  is under controversy... suddenly people don't like it when the tables are turned. Suddenly people start realizing how irrational hate can be so.. annoying! 
I say it's a good way for us all to come together and be a bit more objective in our assessments from here on out. 
Now, Shattenkirk, I say that ship has sailed for us to be honest. Not interested in him personally. 
 

FU NHLN

Mrazek. Loss. Again. Why does Petr suck now?  

Nice of the Red Wings to decide across the board to not show up so far tonight.  Thanks a lot guys.

I'd take Tom Hagen over Mrazek any day.

Ugh.  I couldnt watch the last few games for different reasons.  I can finally watch one and it's on NHL Network, which I don't get.

Kronwall retiring would have negative impacts on the team cap-wise, would it not?  Isn't he signed for two more seasons?

Good thing we have Miller and Glendening on the roster to kill those penalties.  Also good for Mrazek, since the horrible penalty kill somewhat covers up the pathetic 2nd and 3rd goals he let in.

There will be seemingly endless complaints about anything other than Holland signing the top free agents (at least 2) to ridiculously reasonable contracts.

I care. I think it's something to be proud of. It's certainly not something that comes easy. It shouldn't be a goal unto itself and I don't think it is.
Tanking would be something were I would embarrassed for the team and disappointed in the organization.

Tanking is stupid. I wish we didn't even discuss that on here. It's embarrassing for the team and it doesn't guarantee anything except YEARS of misery.
If we had landed Stamkos, another forward and a defensemen this team could have been a contender. Now we won't be contenders but there are a few moves to be made that can still upgrade various departments and make the team more dynamic. But yeah, let's tank instead and be crap for 5 or 6 years. Grab a couple lottery picks and hope we have enough talent to do something at some point within a decade.

Lindros's performance in the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals was an integral part of the Detroit Red Wings franchise's first Stanley Cup in 42 years.

Don't forget Bishop.

Hopefully, this is a learning experience that Blashill can build upon and improve. Part of that learning experience should obviously be to fire Pat Fershweiler immediately.... since he contributes to Red Wing losses about as much as the opposition.

I blame Pat Ferschweiler for the loss. And Ken Holland, indirectly, for not firing Pat Ferschweiler long ago when he proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he sucks terribly large buffalo testicles at his job.

Like Smith in. Don't really like Quincey out (unless he's hurt). Like Mrazek in (it's just the right decision. Howard should be starting game 3 as well if the roles were reversed). Don't like Andersson still in the lineup. I could understand being conservative at the start of the series, but not now. I can understand playing Andersson over Pulkkinen for size, but at least put Jurco in for him.
But in any case... LET'S GO RED WINGS!!! Come out hungry from puck drop on and show everyone that it isn't just about making the playoffs and extending the streak. Show us you want more that that!!

It's pretty tough when the officials are handing out momentum builders to the opposition like candy. Should have been coincidental minors on Abdelkader and Johnson (interference or diving - take your pick).
Any way sliced, the officiating decisions are the difference in the game at this point imo.

Well, he had 4 points last year in 7 games.... while Smith had no points in 5 games.
