Can mrazek's nickname be wheel of fortune?

"I'd like to buy a vowel"

[Euro_Twins 4,475]

well we have the lead... thats something

[Jedi 1,865]

It's worth noting, the Wings still have not scored a PPG on the road.

That said, 2-0 on goals by Cleary and Kindl? Whoever had THAT square is a happy man...

[gowings00 545]

We are winning because we have only used our special teams once. Lets keep that up. 5 on 5 hockey baby!

[Wing-in-avs-town 123]

Wow, surprising 1st period. Boys are skating and forechecking hard, no pens, and secordary scoring ?????? Only thing consistent of the season so far, is that our powerplay still sucks!

[T.Low 1,011]

I seriously don't understand how a team can look better at even strength as opposed to on a power play.

I honestly think they relax and slow down too much on the PP. They try to be too patient, too cerebral. They end up "waiting" for a good shot instead of moviing the puck and moving without the puck to "create" a good shot and open rebounders.

WIngs old PP was super fast puck movement.

[Jusek 437]

lol is Lashoff playing? Never noticed him.

[evilmrt 636]

Impressions on Mrazek? Just got here.

[dat's sick 1,002]

Too bad we had that PP at the end, it really took away any momentum we could have carried into the 2nd.

Laughably bad. I almost couldn't watch it.

When will Babs/Renney change the PP formations? Neither of them is close to working.

Good period on the whole though. Mrazek got to show his stuff towards the end of the period, looked sharp.

lmao ya, at least our bottom lines are pitching in finally

[Dave 324]

lol is Lashoff playing? Never noticed him.

Never thought I'd see Lashoff, Tatar, and Mrazek start for the wings in the same game.

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

lol is Lashoff playing? Never noticed him.

then he's doing his job back there.

[Dominator2005 558]

Can't watch the game...

How Tatar/Mrazek/Tootoo are doing?

[Wing-in-avs-town 123]

It was all laziness by Franzen and White. In one case lazy entry in the other lazy decision making. Terrible the shift before with Z Bruner and Mule gave it away twice because of laziness.

Plus Kindl can't quarterback the PP

[Euro_Twins 4,475]

lol is Lashoff playing? Never noticed him.

ya, he had a giveaway though that ALMOST resulted in a goal, but Mrazek was spot on. Not noticing Lashoff is a good thing though

[Jusek 437]

then he's doing his job back there.

Absolutely, that's just a good thing.

How Tatar/Mrazek/Tootoo are doing?

Tatar looks real good. Making solid plays both on offense and defense. Had a quick shot that Cleary got the rebound on and scored.

Mrazek didn't have a lot to do, but had one really good reaction save and handled everything well.

Didn't notice Tootoo much, think he was in front of the net screening the goalie on the 2nd goal though.

[datterberg1340 626]

please let us keep the pressure on, don't sit back and get over-conservative

the next goal will be huge for whoever scores it

[Danielsm 244]

Cleary apparently hurt.

[T.Low 1,011]

Can't watch the game...

How Tatar/Mrazek/Tootoo are doing?

Toots hasn't had much opportunity but he's finishing his checks hard and while I wouldn't say he's wreaking havoc in front of the net, atleast he's got a bit of a presence there.

Mrazek is quick as a cat. Goes down and is up into position super quick like he's Jet Li or something.

[matt198913 932]

It's so frustrating to watch Mule he's so talented and he just is so lazy sometimes

[dat's sick 1,002]

Z's line has had some rough shifts tonight.

Figures that when our bottom 6 gets going our top 6 struggles.

yeah seems like we can't get everybody on the same page at the same time

I wonder what we'd be like if we at least had Helm back, too

[joesuffP 1,746]

Datsyuk can't make plays and Flippula looks completely lost out there

I hope holland trades Flippula

[Wing-in-avs-town 123]

Boy our D-zone coverage is awful! Teams are consistently out working us & skating circles around us. Then we we finally get the puck we turn it over on the blueline
