BinMucker94 302 Report post Posted December 9, 2017 This is bad. Can’t count on either goalie to make any saves right now. The players look like they are putting in a decent effort today but I wouldn’t be surprised to see an awful 3rd period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should have pulled him at 3-0. Maybe they'd have a chance then. At this point, I wouldn't mind seeing him get lit up like a Christmas tree. 1 SwedeLundin77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted December 9, 2017 At this point, I'm just hoping we further cement Holland and Blashill's demise. This team is only in the position it is in, because of Holland and their complacency/lack of heart is on Blashill. They have clearly stopped listening to his message, whatever that was in the first place. All he can do is act indifferent and throw individual players under the bus to the media. I'm just hoping we are in the running for a top 2 pick at the end of the season, coupled with a new coach/GM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the Wings are outshooting them cleanly... and they have good chances, just hard to get it past Allen. That's what makes this game so frustrating because we could have used a goalie that could help us compete in a 1-0 game (if our goalie was ready).

Ya, cause Howard letting in 4 goals on 10 shots as your starter is what your really looking for. Oh, Mrazek now has 7 saves on 8 shots. Already can’t do worse this game than the inevitable return of the goalie known as Jittery Jimmy Howard has. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted December 9, 2017 Blash has to go... even if you just ride an interim the rest of the season... we've lost 7 of the last 8 and have been handled in a majority of those games.

Already can’t do worse this game than the inevitable return of the goalie known as Jittery Jimmy Howard has. They need to let Mrazek play the next few games, regardless of how he plays. Give him a chance to get going and gain some confidence (if possible). Give Howard an extended rest because he just looks tired out there. 3 Hockeymom1960, krsmith17 and chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your boy Mrazek (aka Manny Legace) might not even have that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your paying Mrazek $4 million as a backup. Use him, give him a chance to play a few consecutive games and go from there. Never know, might get him heading towards where they want him to be, which is replacing Howard. Someone has to at some point. 2 krsmith17 and gcom007 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, I'm not a huge fan of either goalie, but they need to let Howard rest for a bit and get his head right. Mrazek is not much better but you have two goalies, try and get the other going... the season is already going in the crapper, so do whatever you can. Oh, and whoever mentioned Witkowski earlier... come on! Do you honestly think Witkowski would have made any lick of difference in this game? NO. He's a waste of a roster spot, in my opinion. As bad as the goalies were today, the defense was not great either, regardless of limiting shots. The shots they gave up were defensive lapses and the 5th goal, Mrazek should have had that save, but Ericsson was coasting behind the play and didn't even make an effort to make an extra stride and get his stick into the shooters hands to disrupt a shot/ANYTHING. It ultimately, for me, comes down to coaching and Blashill has to go. I said so after the Montreal game, and I am starting to think that the Winnipeg game was more of aberration than anything else. Winnipeg wasn't ready for that game and we took advantage. 1 chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
