Petr Mrazek

[14ari13]

I'm really tempted to do the same. I just don't know if I want a Mrazek or Larkin jersey. I'm leaning Mrazek though.

Just buy both. The problem solved

 

[obey86]

Howard and Mrazek have both been very good this year. Nice to see. IMO, neither has won the starting job yet and the competition is still ongoing.

 

[Flowah]

I'd say it's more no one has lost the starting job. They're both playing sooo damn well they could each be starters on other teams.

 

[joe89]

If we talk about Petr specifically, he's definitely toned down a bit. To the better. He's still an aggressive goalie but his challenges don't seem to be as extravagant this year, thus meaning he stays in position better. The team hasn't played good for the most part when he's been in the net, so his numbers are extremely encouraging.

We're definitely having the positive type of goaltending tandem right now.

I like the way you think

It's probably what I'll end up doing too.

Petr is definitely refining his style. He's more patient this year and is making almost everything look easy.

I think Mrazek has been the more "dominant" of the two. His games have seen more big saves and I think his games have been more difficult.

That said, both are playing great and should keep splitting starts till one falters.

Larkin is a safe deal. Mrazek not so much. So buying Larkin 1st might be wise.


Howard vs Mrazek
Howard has played all but one game at home.
Mrazek all but one on the road.
Mrazek is 4-3. Howard is 3-2-1.
Slight edge Mrazek.

Time to trade Howard--Value will never be higher.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

So did howie play good at all? Is mrazek gonna steal the job

His last couple games he has had a 910 save% Dont think he's really gonna be back to being the Howie of 2013.

If not for that shutout his stats are above average to average i think it would be.

No he hasn't. His last start was against Tampa, where he posted a .967 save percentage.

 

[PelagicJoe]

I would be on bored with that if it lands us a defenseman. I don't know what the Islanders D-pool looks like.

I wouldn't mind Johnny Boychuk on this team. It won't happen, but I can dream.

1) It's not stealing the job anymore. It's winning the job. Both are on equal footing. Stealing implies Mrazek would be coming out of nowhere to be good.

2) Howard has been spectacular so far this year. He's a great starting goaltender who gives the Wings a chance to win every game he plays.

And seriously, if the worst games he posts all year are .910 sv% games... we're in some pretty amazing hands.

Everyone who looks at Howard/Mrazek as anything but a ridiculous positive for this roster in 2015 needs to get their head out of their ass.

First of all, that's wrong.

Second of all, all goaltenders have games where they play below average. Then they have games where they above average. That's why you don't cherry-pick games to draw a conclusion and instead look at their actual average, which is a .932 sv % for the season....

No really, we should keep him. We Are in a great position now.

1) It's not stealing the job anymore. It's winning the job. Both are on equal footing. Stealing implies Mrazek would be coming out of nowhere to be good.

2) Howard has been spectacular so far this year. He's a great starting goaltender who gives the Wings a chance to win every game he plays.

The stats have changed. .910 might be good or great some years ago, not anymore.

True. We have a great sisuation in goal now. Definitely our strength so far this season.
I give the slight Edge to Mrazek because he moves the puck much better and it gives the team the better chance to win.

 

[DanZ]

Obviously. He said "if his worst games" were .910. That's honestly an impossible standard, which is why cherry picking one game where he had a .910 sv % is kind of ridiculous. Carey Price has worse games than that all the time. In fact, his last two games have been sub-.900...

Howard has a NMC he's not going anywhere unless he wants to.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

Howard has a NMC he's not going anywhere unless he wants to.

According to general fanager his NMC expired last season. He now has a NTC where he can supply a list of 10 teams he wont go to.

I am happy with our goaltending. I think I said it was our strength.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Wrong only his first 2 years had a NMC his last 4 years is a NTC so Howard can be traded to team that is on his list of teams to be traded to.

Howard will be lost at an expansion draft most probably.

Don't believe for a trade.

 

[Actual Thought*]

I love that Mrazek has been much more consistent this year. I still think if the playoffs started today you start the veteran Howard but Mrazek is looking great so far.

 

[14ari13]

Mrazek 5-3, GA 2,07, SV% .938
Howard 3-3-1, GA 2,07, SV% .932

I think Mrazek should be 1A and Howard 1B. I think Blashill should give Mrazek 6 and Howard 4 games.

No. Mrazek almost beat Bolts last playoffs. It would be very stupid to go with Howard.

Ken Holland as your GM is a blanket NMC for all roster players
