Confirmed with Link: Flyers aquire Petr Mrazek for a conditional 2018 4th and conditional 2019 3rd

[Rebels57]

Do we think he is better than Elliott?

They both have pros and cons. I think Elliott is a little bit more composed in the scramble situations for instance. Mrazek seems to overplay them and get a little wild. There's no denying that Mrazek is better in 1v1 situations, is a better puck-handler, and seems to cover the short-side better.

 

[C0DITH]

Not tested last night?

He was tested in regulation, OT, and stopped 5 of 6 in the shootout......

Is Mrazek your go to number 1 for the remainder of the year?

 

[Rebels57]

For the remainder of the regular season for sure. If he plays well I see no reason why we would go back to Elliott or Neuvirth if they are healthy.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I both love and hate his aggressiveness. It's nice to see that kind of compete level in a goalie, but he seems to really overplay things at times and I can see that leading to some pretty ugly goals against. For example, it's only 3 games in, but there's going to be a wraparound that's going to go in with him all the way behind the other post one of these games. That said, he battles, and he looks like the kind of tender that gets into shooters' heads. Almost looks like pre-groin injury Hextall back there if you squint, minus the homicidal tendencies.

The thing I like about him, though, is that he has looked much faster to me in recovering (small sample size, of course) than the guys we have had back there the past few years. I could be out to lunch here, but I thought Mase was excruciatingly slow to get across at times that last season he was here and it drove me nuts.

Barring a bad losing streak, yes. No reason for Elliott to come back in when he’s healthy if the Flyers continue to keep winning.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I like Mrazek but his blocker saves are leaving crazy rebounds. He is quick and can make nice saves but I think he is trying to impress and will eventually settle in nicely. I like how he comes out and can handle the puck.

The puck handling should do a lot to ease pressure on our less desirable dmen

You weren't out to lunch, I'd presumed he had something wrong with him. He'd hold that far post for wayyyy too long after it had become the far post.

He plays the position at a frenetic pace. Mase was more controlled in his movements, which looked or actually was a bit slow at times. Controlled is generally considered superior, but then Hasek just completely freelanced back there and he's the best goalie of all time, so...

 

[SanBlom]

Absolutely!

We need him to be our Goalie in the Playoffs if we want to make it past the first round.

Hasek was a Jedi.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Hasek was a Jedi.

Hasek would have some teams beat in pregame.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Hasek was a Jedi.

Watching Hasek taught me that the only way to beat a hot goalie is with tips. That sounded more vaguely erotic than I intended.

 

[Tripod]

Hasek was a Jedi.

waiting for @Striiker to ask what a Jedi is.

 

[whitstifier]

You said he "hasn't been tested much," but you missed last nights game, where he pitched a 65 minute shut-out, and stopped 5 of 6 shootout attempts. Safe to say your original comment was of the incorrect variety.

If you want to say he "hasn't done enough yet" then that is fine. It's still early. But, he was certainly "tested" last night and passed with flying colors.

It was one game against one of the worst teams in the league.

I think the two phrases are synonymous.

 

[whitstifier]

Hasek was like Pedro Martinez. He broke the game for a few seasons.

 

[Striiker]

waiting for @Striiker to ask what a Jedi is.

No no no no no I definitely know Star Wars.

I’ve seen those movies a hundred times each. Star Wars video games, had Star Wars toys when I was a kid, like 30 Star Wars books, and all that stuff.

 

[BernieParent]

I'd be more likely to play Mrazek against the high-skill teams with a lot of crisp puck movement. Elliott is more of an angles / wall / I-hope-it-hits-me goalie and would be my nod for teams that rely on point shots, screens, and tips. If Elliott is healthy, both should get steady work (unless one is playing significantly better than the other) to the playoffs.

 

[Rebels57]

It was one game against one of the worst teams in the league.

I think the two phrases are synonymous.

High-danger coring chances are high-danger scoring chances. They still have some highly skilled players and Drouin, Galchenyuk, and Pacioretty all had chances to score.

It baffles me that you're arguing that Mrazek was not tested in a game that you did not watch.

 

[flyersfan187]

You think they are gonna resign him and trade Neuvirth away if he keeps playing good?

If he continues to play well they will re-sign him, but if his play drops off and Elliot is starting in the playoffs I would be tempted to let him walk so they don't lose that extra draft pick. He has looked good for us so far though so I am leaning on him being the starter in the playoffs and being re-signed.

If not for Mrez you don't get two points last night. You could almost see players change their minds in the shootout add the nifty pokecheck and you have Mrez at his best.
Us Wings fan seem pretty devided on Mrez but he was making starting money and it wasn't working out in Detroit,not all of that was on Mrezak. Lets hope its win for Philly ,win for Detroit and win for Mrezak.
Dude going to work hard for his next deal and that bodes well for Philly and fans.
Can't wait to watch him frustrate Penguins players in the playoffs.

IDK why but it really bothers me how you are not spelling Mrazek's name right

Because you just pointed out to me i had forgotten how its spelled correctly... i don't spell well to begin with.I think im part ..ummm ,that issue when letters are all backwards ..im that. And i won't attempt to spell it.

I'm fine wearing the cap. I'd rather be irrationally wary of goalie performance in SSS than wrong about another goalie being something they're not. I probably won't be convinced that Mrazek is anything special until he has a half a season of above average play. Until then, I'll squat in my corner and make noises
