It's a kids thang...

The Wheel Deal ‏@Bill_Roose 2m2 minutes ago Detroit, MI

#RedWings Babcock confirmed that Mrazek, Marchenko and Ferraro will play in Game 1 vs. Lightning.

This is what we needed I feel, god If Babcock can get the lines right I believe we will make it to the second round!

or Andy out Abby in

I've got to say, I'm really surprised at this development. I'm not shocked, but I am surprised. I'm rooting for the kid, I like him a lot, and I think he was bound to take Jimmy's job in the next 1-2 seasons, but I'm not expecting a miracle this year, and the way he's played down the stretch, it'd take a miracle for him to work out his consistency issues for the playoffs. Those are 1-2 year starter's workload issues if you ask me. He's confident enough to not be set back by a rough outing in his rookie year though, and I'm assuming that's why they're taking the gamble on him. A goalie who was less tough mentally wouldn't be getting this chance at this point in his career when you have Howard on your team.

I know you love Petr and all, but with the other Mrazek thread plus the "what will our lines be vs tb" thread, this seems a little self-serving or something. Just my 2 cents.........

I feel like I have to publicly dissociate from fanboy because he's making mrazek supporters look bad.

Between the news of Mrazek starting over Howard, and Marchenko starting over (likely) Smith seems to imply that Babcock wants a fast transition game to combat the Lightning's offense. I'm hesitant to see Mrazek get the nod simply because he's been unable to string together a series of solid games, but nobody can deny the kid moves the puck phenomenally, and I don't think Babcock will look to Mrazek for game 2 if he doesn't have a strong game 1. Jimmy might come in and play with a chip on his shoulder, should he get the opportunity.
