Absolutely pathetic no excuse to lose this game, Team played like crap and left Howard out to dry a couple of times thank goodness Tampa is losing as well.

Wouldn't blame it on Howard, but Mrazek would have stopped 1 or 2 of the goals for sure. Defense was terrible tonight though. Refs even worse.
Also I said it in the GDT but Richards was awful in the last minute or two. We had some real, actual pressure and a chance to tie the game up. He made two or three terrible decisions with the puck, and had a couple of awful shots on good scoring opportunites.
Nyquist-Z-Dats-Larkin-Green-Tatar should be the 6 guys out there if we want to score.

0-4-1 past 5 at home. Horrible.
Its becoming pretty obvious that this team needs elite goaltending to win games. They don't score well enough and don't defend well enough on a consistent basis.
Mrazek holds this teams hopes of making the playoffs.

Nyquist is invisible.
Green seems so out of sync with the rest of the team. He's pinching while guys are looking for a pass.

Boston has picked up at least 1 pt on them tonight. This team is in trouble. I put their chances of making the playoffs at around 40%. Howard or any goalie can't be expected to play once a month and win games for you.
The PP sucks beyond suck still and there obviously isn't going to be an answer for it. I swear they must practice it without skates.

Howard has lost his last 7.
He was left out to dry a couple of time, But the game winner was definitely on him. Kesler just shot it threw the five hole there.

Nyquist needs to be scratched a few games. He's just completely lackluster. Call up AA for a few games.

I'm not a Blashill basher, but I do agree with you that he is totally mishandling the goaltending situation. Howard is a workhorse, he needs to play lots of games. He isn't a Manny Legace guy that can play once a month and dominate. He needs to play.

No, he doesn't. Mrazek is better than Howard and should play the majority of the games. I don't care if it's not 'Howard's fault', when Howard plays, he loses. There's absolutely no reason to take starts away from Mrazek right now with the way Mrazek is playing. Howard will have to figure it out.

First 3 goals weren't his fault a couple he was left out to dry, But the last one the game winner was Kesler just shot it threw the wickets there.
