Would be nice for Mrazek to get some exposure... No reason to keep playing Howard every game.

Mantha off PP is interesting...question is why?

Unless it's a back-to-back I don't foresee Mrazek getting too many more starts, appears they are flat out ready to move on from him.

If Holland is seriously looking to deal Mrazek at the TDL, Then Blashill needs to give him some games here.

i hope i'm wrong, but with this much icetime given to howard an injury is almost inevitable, knowing his history. Then mrazek gets his games

C'mon, we're talking about a playoff ready team.

 

[Red Stanley]

Another .930 SV% and another regulation loss incoming. Play Mrazek, please. Goaltending doesn't matter at all on this team.

 

[Christien]

Mantha questionable tonight

 

[Reddwit]

Over the past 4 games, Green has gotten and average of 1:39 on the PP while Kronwall has gotten 3:03.

WTF?

All I want to see from this point forward is Green and Nyquist getting a ton of powerplay time and offensive zone starts. For the love of god, maximize their value.


OT: Vanek has 10 points in his last 4 games and would be our second leading scorer this season with 28 in 38. It'll be interesting to see if he's redeemed his trade value in any way over these past 2 seasons.

Blashill and Howard are Thelma and Louiseing over the f***ing cliff.

 

[Ezekial]

Over the past 4 games, Green has gotten and average of 1:39 on the PP while Kronwall has gotten 3:03.

That's just due to one unit being clearly better at setting up on the PP than the other. Also last game that "#1 unit" had sustained pressure fore like 1:40 on one of the PPs. Stuff like that adds up, especially when your other unit is getting the hook after 40-50 seconds of failing on zone entry.

He might not even play tonight. Some "nagging thing" according to Blashill

Since being pulled against St. Louis he has a .920 and 2.33 GAA in his last 6 games.

I think Mrazek should be getting more starts, but Howie hasn't been as awful as you make him sound lately.

Howie is always just good or bad enough to lose.

15 games.
2 wins.
.880

That's awful.

Petr's season-long numbers are f***ing awful.
11 games
3 wins
.892

But they look good next to Howard's last 5+ weeks

Mantha questionable tonight

He was fine yesterday probably due to a nagging Blashill.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Mantha off PP is interesting...question is why?

From what Blashill said Mantha has an nagging injury, Pretty sure that has something to do with him off from the PP

Well he's been pretty invisible lately.Shades of Franzen? So it shouldn't make much of a difference then.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

If it's a nagging injury sounds like maybe his back is flaring up don't really know.

 

[cjm502]

If it's a nagging injury sounds like maybe his back is flaring up don't really know.

Things that nag around are usually the groin, back, or any connective tissues which would probably be in the knee, hip, or shoulder areas. Either way, when it comes to these injuries it is best to rest and let them heal. Keep pushing it and they will keep sticking around. Let Mantha rest up, it isn't like we are in the playoff race.

Exactly back knee groin shoulder could be any number of things.

I wanted to comment on that PP but forgot! Kronwall and Zetterberg laboring to the bench I wondered who was more tired, the penalty killers or our PP group. Man they looked wore out.

LGRW feel a 3-2 OT loss coming up

 

[turkleton85]

nice to see AA with larkin if mantha can't go. He needs a big game and earn a top6 spot now

 

[lilidk]

come on , lets get Dahlin

 

[turkleton85]

LGRW feel a 3-2 OT loss coming up

when they click, the rangers have one of the most entertaining and spectacular offenses in the NHL. The last few games against them were on the low scoring side, but i expect them to win big time, even without kreider. Nash might not be scoring much, but he's been a beast
