I think he was trying to do what we see people asking players like Ericsson and Dekeyser to do more of: be strong in front of the net and try to make someone pay the price for going there. He's just undersized and did a lousy, off-balanced job of it, and Howard paid the price.
I think it is only Ericsson who can do this. Unfortunately it was Jensen who is way too undersized for it tying and making things worse.
2 injured goalies and an assist is the Nick Jensen hat trick!
good one
Yup. And I was surprised people said he had a good game in the GDT. Lol.
This team can't handle another game with Jensen it in. Wings need Lashoff back ASAP!
I did not watch 3rd, but I thought he was one of our best players in period 1. He made a great pinch and we actually created the best pressure we had in the period. He also made another good play in the neutral zone. As for the turnover he made, it was all kronwalls fault as he sent a granade impossible to handle.
Pretty much. I don't see any way of preventing a free fall if Mrazek doesn't elevate his game significantly.
If Mrazek plays bad, then we will outcompete everyone for the last place in the league. We are doomed. But many posters will enjoy sucking, I guess.
Except that Coreau is starting vs. Florida, tonight:
Blashill on how Mrazek handled news Coreau is starting for #RedWings: "Like every other professional in that room, he said OK.
Blashill: " I make the decisions and lots of times guys don’t agree with them. I don’t expect players to agree with them. I expect players to want to be in."

We have a chance to steal this game with Mrazek on the top of his game, otherwise we lose.
With Coreau in net we will lose badly I am afraid. But the ship is sinking.
