gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Good for Howard. You'd have to be insane to root against him this year. Even if you think Mrazek is the future, the better Howard plays, the more valuable he'll be when we end up trading him. Best case scenario is to go through this season with both goalies to be pushing each other. Mrazek learns, Howard increases his value, Wings win more games.

number9 3,297 Report post Posted October 8, 2015 The Detroit will miss crowd is out and loud and it's hilarious. This is probably the best we've been in at least 4 years. I like being the dark horse. 2 krsmith17 and LeftWinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRW Dominance 255 Report post Posted October 8, 2015 i've seen most pegging detroit in the top 3 in their division....any combo of these. detroit tampa mtl even though it was only 1 game last night, mtl is still just a Price team. without him they miss the playoffs for sure.

PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted October 8, 2015 His switch is off. Guess that's why he didn't get the first start. The switch is actually on if you look closely. it's not one of the usual switches that has a nub sticking out. It is less than clear. To me, no one has beat Conklin's purple octopus mask for Red WIng masks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Quote from TSN's Bob McKenzie on Mrazek..."They've got so many good young players. Dylan Larkin is going to be a star. I mean, Petr Mrazek has a chance to and I say this, I've got to be careful how I say this you see what Carey Price is doing for the Montreal Canadiens. I think there will be a point in time where Petr Mrazek might do the same sort of thing in terms of the athletic ability to dominate his position, when he gets older and more experienced, as what Price has been doing but there hasnt been enough consistency, and I think thats something they're working on."

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 According to Khan, Mrazek will be starting his 3rd in a row vs Ottawa this Saturday and 4th game in the last 5 . Is there even a battle anymore? 1 canadian wings fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wings7 62 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 ^ I agree. Both have looked really good. I'd keep going back and forth personally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 I think because of his puck playing abilities. (minus last game) It really gives us an advantage. Plus imo Mrazek has been generally better in all areas only slightly 2 Ekmanc and rick zombo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 Are you sure Mrazek is starting? Last I seen, Mrazek started practice in the net usually occupied by the starter, but then Howard rotated in... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richdg 267 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 Not to crush opinions with facts, but as of today through the games played Jimmy has a better GAA and a better save %. That would be outplaying Mrazek. Neither is our problem atm. In fact G is the one position we can count on every game so far. The 2 of them have more than done their job. Both have had games were they alone keep us in the game.

gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 I don't get it though. Jimmy hasn't really played bad. Opinions? Seems odd. Neither has been close to the core problem, but I think Howard's definitely looked a bit better. End of the day though, I think it's clear to all that Mrazek is the future starter, and he's likely to get the majority of starts unless he bombs. They've got to keep getting him more experience so he'll be ready to takeover next year full time. I mean, does anyone seriously think they're going to keep Howard after this season barring a Mrazek meltdown? You've got to give Mrazek every opportunity to prove he's going to be the guy this season before you make that jump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
