Poor, sweet Stevie. Scores the GWG and benched the next game.

Glad Turbo is back.

Ned getting a shot.

We should try to win this

Pesce-Fleury is a good pair. Shelter Bean and Skjei.

going heavy offense to create more chances. I like it. Although the record isn’t good without me complaining about lines. So..... no lorentz?!?!?! What are these guys thinking?

I LOVE IT. Top 6 will score 4 even strength goals tonight, book it. I'd swap Foegele and McGinn though but beggars can't be choosers. I just think McLovin has fit pretty well with Staal and they should stick together but not a big deal.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Sounds like there's a good chance we see the return of the Surge if we win today's game

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Which means that Ned is killing it right now. Letting Petr take his time is a nice luxury that comes as a result of that.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Yes. We must be vigilant in pursuit of our quarry.

If you people are going to keep making puns like this, you can go and kick rocks for all I care.

Would be cool but I kinda prefer it waits until the stadium is more full, ideally 100% capacity, but at least like 50%...

[Stickpucker]

Mrazek trying to get Wally Pipped?

 

[OBXer]

Oh brother, what could possible go wrong tonight. Why do thoughts of Marc Staal keep drifting into my mind.

 

[Svechhammer]

So who is the backup when Mrazek comes back?

You ask me, Ned has proven himself more capable in that role than Reimer so far this year.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I don’t hate the idea of a 3-headed-monster at goalie once he comes back.

I see where you're coming from but if I went out there and saw a win but not a storm surge I'd be disappointed

I think you have to keep all three up once Petr is ready. No way any of them pass through waivers now that Ned has shown he can play. I think the move of Zinger was in part to allow them the cap space for this very issue.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Even as a Ned skeptic, as long as he gets results, he should be in the rotation. I think Reimer has been fine as well given his circumstances. Hopefully it's give Mrazek the slight majority and sprinkle both the other guys in. I trust how we handle our goalies mostly at this point.

Yeah I think I would go a 3 parts Petr, 2 parts Ned 1 part Reims kinda rotation, and personally think that would benefit them all. Reims has looked better the more time he has off and zned has just looked and been better then James.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Just saying... I know we're all (possibly correctly) labelling Mrazek our savior in net and assuming he'll be the 1a immediately, which is probably likely and the best bet, especially with how well he started out this season. But Petr has not been without faults and hasn't been a stranger to some rough stretches. I don't think we should be labelling anyone as the definite 1a, 1b, backup, 3rd string, etc. I say we roll with whoever is hot while giving all 3 their opportunities. If Mrazek pulls away as clear cut starter, which I think is somewhat likely, and Ned pulls away as clear cut 1b/backup ahead of Reimer, which the recent stretch of play suggests, then great. But there's still a good chance it doesn't work out like that. I trust Rod and company to figure it out.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Mrazek isn't perfect, but I think he's clearly the best goalie until proven otherwise on full body of work. I don't think that equates to a savior. I won't be surprised if he takes some time to get going again upon coming back though, so sure, go with whoever is working. Luckily, we don't always need a goalie to steal games for us anymore.

I can ride with that thought. Only thing I will add is that in his time here Petr has been the better overall net minder over Mac, Reims, and Ned. While all the others had some moments of being the hot better goalie. Petr has had more of them and most have been longer

 

[Lempo]

Yes. We must be vigilant in pursuit of our quarry.

Losing to Detroit would crush my stones sure enough.

[Derailed75]

Anyone reading the Detroit GDT? Wow what a mess. According to them and the Detroit media Svechs brother has played his way into the starting lineup, yet despite that and him publicly saving his dream is to play against his brother Blashill won't commit to playing him tonight. In fact he was on the taxi squad up until about 30 mins ago.

Svech may score 4 if they don’t play his brother tonight.
