Go Wings!

It's been a long season and WW's wings are tired. That explains tonight's rather terse GNT.

Saving myself up for the playoff GDTs.

Com'n Mike, how do you put Cleary on the PP, and with Kindl on the backend to boot. Have you lost your senses?

Hey, WW 88, I responded to you on the Wings/Canadiens thread regarding some of Zach's stats comparisons.

I did catch that the other day. Thanks, man.

I wonder who we start in net in the playoffs. I guess Howard...but Mrazek would be ok.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

I'm thinking Ottawa is probably wishing their goalie had been left in for another minute there...

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

PRESERVE THE THINGY!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Shutout for Mrazek!!!!

In his last 5 wins, he's allowed 1 goal...or none at all.

100 pt season for Detroit...

nice way to finish the season.

babcock going to have a lot of thinking to do with his goalie situation. do you start old or young inconsistent goalie

 

[sherbert1421]

wings are playing tampa. not a good matchup but better than playing the rangers or habs

Well the boys snuck in another 100 point season, despite the goaltending and the defensive gaffs.
Habs tied at the end of three so the Wings will be playing Tampa.

If it were up to me, I'd go with Mrazek. He's our goalie of the future, so why not let him get some needed playoff work in, otherwise he has to wait an entire season to get the nod next year, since in my estimation, Jimmy's days are behind him. He's not going to be good enough to get this team to the top of the mountain. He has totally forgotten how to close the 5-hole with his pads, and he is now notorious for going down early whenever someone comes in on him for a scoring attempt. Everybody knows that he's going to lay down, so they just delay and put the puck over him and into the net. His days are numbered as the Red Wings netminder IMO.

IMHO Mrazek has at least earned the start, if he falls under the pressure they have no choice than to go with 5-hole.
