I like the Sharks but great to see Thornton lose it at the end. Good win Wings!
There weren't many more chances than usual this game but with less stoppages there is more flow. Both teams were skating well it was better hockey than say vs. the Devils or Minnesota.
Mrazek-what more could be said? He's phenomenal. Reminds me of Quick and LA's run in 2012. With goaltending that stellar you can go far, may be all the way.
I've dogged Richards since he was brought in this offseason but now can really appreciate what he brings. As a veteran guy providing depth he's played his role admirably. He's a head's up, intelligent player who is a positive almost every shift. Fans like myself ached and moaned to get him off the 2nd line but honestly they've looked much poorer from the 1st game he wasn't on it. Tatar has not been the answer. Tonight he was falling all over the place and besides the one shift that Datsyuk's line held possession for a minute or something, Tatar was mostly unnoticeable or repeatedly lost the puck. They're playing top lines and not getting scored on but I was hoping for some fresh energy bringing Tatar up and I've yet to see it.
