Mrazek traded to the Flyers

[Redder Winger]

He wasn't even really that well received in that thread. Plenty of complaining about drafting a bottom 6 center, plenty of posts calling him a bust already. I'd imagine the draft day thread is a lot more scathing.

Edit: I guess not on my last line, thanks Frk it.

Revisionist Winger.

Says the guy who says "Larkin wasn't well received in that thread" -- in thread in which positive responses outweight negative responses 38-6.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

This is getting off-topic. Move it to another thread and bring this topic back to the subject of Mrazek, please.

I mean... Helm with hands is one hell of a good player. And I'm not even sure it's all that wrong.

Fast as hell. Check.
Tenacious on the puck. Check.
Works hard. Check.
Plays well on both sides of the puck. Check.
Relatively simple game. Check. (Not exactly dangling people out of their jockstraps or making Datsyukian passes out there)

Which is exactly what I posted when people were going bananas about picking him.

That Helm with hands is only an insult (well accurate) to Helm. That it sounded like a terrific hockey player.

But people were really mad by in large about that selection.

We have a tendency to overreact, especially on draft picks. Larkin and Bertuzzi were hammered hard at the time of their selections.

For instance I was very afraid of trading Mrazek. He is not proving that at all. I was dead wrong on what was going on with Petr. He looks like the same guy over there and it appeared like he was yelling something as he got pulled the other night. Same ole Petr it would appear.

Hockey IQ?
Shot?
Vision?

Helm’s just not a good offensive player. It was a lazy comparison but it is what it is.

Neuvirth came back yesterday and got hurt in his first game back, Mrazek had to finish the game

I mean we can hope they have to use Mrazek in the playoffs, and hope he takes them to ECF.

Looks like they'll have to start Mrazek in game two, maybe he'll catch fire (who am I kidding)

His playoff stats are unreal.

Small sample size, but if he keeps on those stats he'll stay the starter until the team gets knocked out.

That was such a bad game my guess is it is a flush it game for the coaches.

I think Elliott gets the call in game 2 but his leash is short and if he has a poor first period, I think that is it for him for the series. He looked really out of it tonight. Petr looked better, but I still expect Hakstol to stick with Elliott for one game.

I was watching the game. Elliott looked bad but the Pens were just all over the Flyers.

Totally agree on the coaching call. Especially since Mrazek hasn't been the model of consistency during his time with them (or us for that matter).

Here's to me selfishly hoping Elliot lets in 2 quickies near the start, gets pulled, Mrazek goes god mode like vs Tampa and the Flyers pull off a comeback.

I want that pick baby.

It doesn't matter who they start. Pittsburgh is just flat out better.

 

[ShelbyZ]

Conditional pick based on wins and making it to the ECF stays a 3rd. Will be #81 overall.

Probably a safe bet the Wings won't get the additional 3rd at this point.
