He didn't just take the shooter. He overplayed the shooter and got caught out of position. He's not supposed to leave the entire net open and hope the defense ties up every man crashing the net. Even if they do tie up, a puck could bounce off of the numerous skates in the crease and go in. Howard blew that.

And what would Mrazek have done? Overplayed it more with how he comes out. People thinking Mrazek will come in and save this team are delusional.

When did I say Mrazek would have played it differently? Teams have figured out his over aggressive style.

Mrazek needs to be in. Sure, he had a bad stretch, but he's generally really good in big games and last year he played amazing vs this very team. Howard is just not good enough. Howard would only be able to survive the playoffs if he had a D like we used to in the late 90's.

Even with the great D of the past cup teams, Hasek, Cujo, Osgood could steal games. Howard wouldn't even be on the roster.

Agreed. Howard at his best is not nearly as good as Mrazek at his best, but I doubt there will be any changes, too much arrogance from the coaching staff; like they won't scratch Ericsson b/c that would be like admitting it was a huge mistake to sign him to a long-term deal and give him top 4 minutes(or maybe that order comes from Kenny)
