The crazy little bugger is on fire so far this year.

The crazy little bugger is on fire so far this year.

He's 6 - 0 with a GAA 2.25 and a SV% 0.922

Some guys just take more time.

Not getting an NHL contract and being just a Griffin seems to have lit a fire under him.

Good to see.

I hope he continues to play that well and prove myself and others wrong for calling him a bust

I think the pressure is off him right now. He really is playing loose, and his performance is a night and day difference over where he was before Mrazek came in and earned the #1 spot. Maybe he matured and he is becoming the goalie everyone thought he would be. Either way, I am glad to see him do well.

Goal tending is very different than skating, and much more selective in the nhl. He's barely proving he's capable of minor play at this point, don't hold ur breath.

[PumpkinEscobar 136]

He'll be nothing more than a minor league backup

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

If it took not getting an entry level contract to get him to start caring, hell probably be a career backup ahl-er, maybe even echl-er.

Unless he sustains solid play for more than a season.

McCollum quietly putting together a come-back season and starting to look like his 1st round self

.927% and 2.19 GAA in 31 games for Grand Rapids this season

He recently turned 24. If I'm the Wings I would avoid drafting a goalie this year and just re-sign Tom.

Howard, Gustavsson, Mrazek, McCollum, Coreau, Paterson, is a pretty good group
