DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted December 10, 2016 Mrazek has one of the worst gloves I've ever seen in an NHL goalie. Sometimes I think he'd be better off with two blockers.Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever seen Price early in his career? he was eaten alive for a long time high glove. He got better. So will Mrazek. these things take time. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted December 10, 2016 Why do people always bring up Carey Price in comparison to Mrazek? Price was a cant miss prospect who you expected to figure everything out. Mrazek was a mid round guy who had a great last year of junior and good two years in the AHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The logic is that if it even took Price, a can't miss prospect and now elite goaltender, a number of years to develop once in the NHL, then maybe we should give Mrazek some leeway in these early years. Maybe he won't get there, but there's really very few goalies - if any - that don't have some struggles early in their time in the league. That's the argument and I think it should be kept in mind.

chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted December 10, 2016 Mrazek gets pulled the first game Howard is back on the bench after a streak of great games while he was injured. I wonder if Howard's presence has something to do with the bad outing? While Howard was gone and the starting spot was all his he was fine. There's no excuse for him to be rattled like that, and it's not Howard's fault, but that stuff can happen. 14 minutes ago, PavelValerievichDatsyuk said: The logic is that if it even took Price, a can't miss prospect and now elite goaltender, a number of years to develop once in the NHL, then maybe we should give Mrazek some leeway in these early years. Yep. I remember how pissed Habs fans were when they traded Halak and kept Price and he struggled for a few years. There's A LOT of them around here so I heard a lot about it. Now if you ask them about that, they're tune has obv changed tenfold. Halak barely holds on to the starting role with NYI while Price is arguably the best in the world.

Agreed. I dont think anyone has every said anything about Mrazek being at Price's level. When the best of the best struggle in their first few years, I dont understand how some dont get that its normal. 2 chaps80 and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted December 10, 2016 Never seen a goalie getting so much undeserved excuses it's ridiculous, everybody could see the talent in Price it was only a matter of time till he would break out. Mrazek either is able to play consistently at a starting goaltenders level or he isn't. If he isn't Wings will have to look for someone else if they expose Howard next year, simple as that.Man this team can't even beat the Blue Jackets...
