The Datsyukian Deke 127 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 @toby91_ca: Yeah ok, I forgot about the partial package option. That makes it easier and you can be more selective with it. If it does help the franchise with selling out, I'm not so sure. (not talking bout the Leafs, they might sell out no matter what is going on) @Neomaxizoomdweebie: I know about that kind of argumentation, have heard it multiple times over the years, no matter what league is discussed. Question remains...when is it enough? When will people stop spending their money on this? We'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Below is what I posted: On 8/29/2017 at 1:00 PM, kliq said: Is anyone else on this board a season ticket holder? If yes, what was your experience this year in getting tickets with the new arena? Mine was awful, and after being a 10 game season ticket holder for 4 years, I quit. In previous years, the way it worked was you were given like 4 tiers. Tier 1 would have maybe 10 games available (say Leafs, Canadiens, Bruins etc), and you had to say pick 3 of them. Then tier 2 would have 10 available, and you would have to pick another 3, so on and so on. Not to mention, in the past if something changed in my schedule and I had to swap games, my rep was awesome and would always work with me as long as you were willing to exchange for another game within the same tier. This year in addition to the price increase, you no longer have the option of of choosing what games you want. You are given 4 plans, the Howe plan, Lindsay plan, Abel plan, and Delvecchio plan AND you have to decide to purchase one of these plans within a 24 hour window assigned to you by the team. You have absolutely no flexibility, to choose what you want. When I called my new rep and asked her if I could swap a couple games out as there were a few I just couldn't make due to work obligations, I was told that you could not swap games any more and was suggested to sell them online. I did buy tickets for the openers (preseason and regular season) through stubhub, but I was really disappointed this year. Just curious if anyone else had the same experience? Or a better/worse one?

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted March 7, 2018 Mrazek is so predictably unpredictable lol My prediction was he'd continue the hotstreak, get us a higher conditional pick, get re-signed by Philly at $4, and then s*** the bed game one in October and have another terrible season. But he couldn't even keep it together that long lmao The guy is s***. Howard - who everyone bitched is inconsistent throughout his career - is the epitome of consistency next to Mrazek. Good riddance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kliq 3,763 Report post Posted March 8, 2018 Mrazek's performance so far in Philadelphia completely encapsulates his time here in Detroit. He played absolutely awesome for a bit, then he just took a nose dive. This is why this guy is such a lightning rod, he just can't do it consistently. But when he is on, he looks amazing. I highly doubt Philly qualifies him. He likely becomes a UFA and signs as a backup on a team like Edmonton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or saying the he played awesome to start with DET and then took a nose dive that continued with PHI? If the former, playing awesome for a bit is probably on overstatement. He's been there 7 games now, his first game was good and was against CBJ (bubble wild card team right now). 2nd game was bad and it was against OTT (makes it even worse). 3rd game was good, but was against MON, so take that with a grain of salt....the following 4 games were all bad. 1 ChristopherReevesLegs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha, not my area of specialty....I'm not a scout, especially not a goalie scout. That said, I'd probably say too early to tell. He just turned 26, if he was a forward, it would be different, but so many examples (I'd say probably more the norm) for goalies and defenseman to not hit their stride until later in their 20s. I think he's right around the time now though that he should be showing what he really is. He's going through a pretty tough stretch now, but who knows? It doesn't look good, but I wouldn't write him off just yet. Probably easy to say, but "let's see what he does next year". He has shown the ability to be a very good goalie, he has been inconsistent, but that doesn't bother me at all as you would expect that with a young goalie.....the trouble signs now are that he seems to be going in the wrong direction. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With all due respect, I think you may be taking my comments to literally. I was making the point that throughout this extremely short stint on Philly, the trajectory has been pretty much the same as Detroit. His first few games he looked good, then he nose dived. I'm not looking to pick apart the actual games, that's not my point. I'm not saying he was an all star on Detroit, but right when you thought he was something special, he becomes equally as bad. I was reading the Flyers fan boards, and alot of fans thought that Hextall fleeced Holland and they acquired a star after just a few games. Long story short, that narrative has changed.

Very good odds at the 4th becoming a 3rd, I think it's unlikely that Philly will miss the playoffs....they are in a pretty good spot right now. 1 more win for Mrazek is a no brainer with this many games left. Moving up to a 2nd pick is a different story though....pretty unlikely 1) I don't see Philly making the ECF and 2) Mrazek would have to have won 6 out of the 8 games to get there.....I'm not sure what their goalie situation is now, would we be the no brainer starting goalie, or chance he becomes backup by playoff time?
