They're giving it to Z right now.

[Tr!PoD#19 524]

How you miss that

[HolmerDRW 29]

Wah! It's as close to 7-5 as it is 6-6!

Crazy game

[NerveDamage 4,176]

5-hole!!!

[marcaractac 3,963]

Mrazek only needs to be good for 12 minutes here

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Highest goal total of the year.

[Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453]

Why did Z get that goal?

[Tr!PoD#19 524]

Nothing to say about that crosscheck eddie you trash can?

[puckloo39 5,686]

no more, Petr... get 'em all now...

[Aethernum 276]

Like I said earlier. It's on Blash to switch goalies. Mrazek clearly has been off.

The thing is, if you put in Howard then suddenly the questions start again: Who is the Detroit goalie? Is this a timeshare? Is it a 1a, 1b situation or is Howard still the backup? I think Blashill is showing great poise and judgment in allowing his goalie to work through a bad day. He knows what the consequences would be of throwing the goalie situation back into doubt; instead, he's making a statement about who our #1 goalie is and that he has confidence in his ability to figure it out. I like it. It's a bold move.

Was that Pasha's goal?

[sputman 1,268]

I would have scored that.

[HolmerDRW 29]

My oh my Abby. It was harder to miss.

The "team in red" is often referred to as the Detroit Red Wings, NBC.

Wow, NBC will look WAAAAAY behind the play for Wings infractions and ignore the Bruins ones that happen right in front of them!

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Looks like no hatty for Pav yet.

If we use that mentality, is there's now a question if Rask is truly Boston's number one? I don't think so. You dress a back-up so you have a goaltender that's having an off day, they can be replaced. Sure, the situation in Detroit has been tenuous at best this year, but I don't think pulling Petr after giving up five goals on less than 20 shots means that you're questioning his starter/#1 status.

Also, I don't think just because Petr is the number one it doesn't mean that we don't have the right to criticize an off game.

Petr

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

[barabbas16 499]

I disagree. Standard protocol for as long as I can remember was if a goalie is playing poorly, he gets yanked. The only time that it stirs up controversy is if the goalie getting yanked gets yanked regularly and there's reason to suspect his job is on the line. I can't imagine letting in 6 goals is much better for his confidence than letting in 3 and getting pulled anyway.

[Y19 2,488]

Wow, Helm with some nice puck handling!

Oh, by the way, post 1000! Yay me!
