Mrazek > Howard
Atleast if you're interviewing the wings D corps...his ability to play the puck helps them in ways Howard only can dream of.

All of this. Howie sucks at shootouts too. Mrazek will eventually surpass Howard in just a few years.
I hate that this thread even exists.
Even the sweet mountaintop kung fu battle picture?
The fact that a 30 year old making 6 million is in a "battle" with a 22 yr old rookie tells me all I need to know. Cap hit alone id be looking to move Howard.
Even that benchy. Besides right now it should be a picture of Mrazek wobbling with a finish him sign above it in terms of this debate.
It's only a "battle" to a select few. Most Wings fans are far more comfortable with Howard.
I hate that this thread even exists. I am a big Mrazek fan, but his time is not now, this is extremely pre-mature.
As others have stated outside of puck-handling and shootouts there is little to nothing Mrazek has the advantage in. I think he is the future, but the future is not now for a good reason. He has some things to work on and we have a very solid #1 goalie. We should be pinching ourselves at having a good situation, unfortunately that isn't the case I guess...

That's your opinion it's pre mature. Watching Howard tonight makes them very comparable like it or not. And believe it or not Howard's leach is pretty short. He won't retire as a red wing make my words
That would be the future and not the present, you ignore Petr taking it on the chin on Wednesday?
I never said he would finish his career a Red Wings. In fact I have been pretty far from that opinion for a long time now. That isn't tomorrow, nor should it be tomorrow.

He is a rookie. He will have bad games. That's why he needs to start now and get more reps. Howard will never deliver when it counts and I have his entire career as evidence. Never been past the two round. He is no savior. He is an average starter in the nhl that's why he couldn't even make the wings until he was like 25
What's great about this thread is that you can take a guy like me, who has played at every level other than the A and N as a goalie and it doesn't mean much of anything. I can give a detailed report of what Mrazek needs to work on before he even contends for the starting spot but it's futile because the arm chair goalies think they know more than I do. Because, you know, they spent 20+ years playing the position 12 months out of the year.
It's like taking medical advice from someone who went on WebMD and got their information as opposed to someone who has practiced it for 25+ years.
