Just thinking about it some more. Syracuse has a couple terrible non-plural names.
Syracuse Crunch. Syracuse Orange.
Lame.
Mrazek is going to make the Wings trade him. No way he lives in Howards shadow for 6 years.

We'll see a Howard-trade on some day. But not for a long long time.
We'll see that trade thread someday for sure. I just don't see the Wings trading Jimmy. It's not like I want to trade Peter Peter Puck Eater, but If we could trade him now as a MAJOR asset to acquire a player to win NOW. I'm all for it. I'll be very interested to see where Mrazek is ranked prospect wise going into next year? How many other goalie prospects will be ranked above him? I know Bernier, Markstrom... But who else?

The Goalie guild rankings(that are heavily based on NHL readiness) has him at 9th spot right now. I'm thinking he moves up a couple of spots after these playoffs are over.
Tbh, I think Kenny only gave Jimmy two full NMC years for a reason. With goalies things can change in a hurry. If Mrazek backs this season up with another similar one(hopefully even better) he's gonna be seen as one of the best goalie prospects out there. At that point you have several options, but the obvious one would be to replace Gus as the backup and take things from there. They're not getting rid of Howard until Mrazek is equally good or better than him, that's for sure.
I honestly think he will be the better for it. He should put in one more year in GR and a couple backup seasons before we really start talking about this seriously.
Can someone give me a little recap on how we played tonight? Unfortunately I was studying for a slew of exams I have coming up. Reading some posts I am under the impression that we played poorly but squeaked out a win somehow. Again, I don't know anyone care to indulge me?

How were the goals by the Crunch? Mrazek playing solid or what? Thanks for the response btw guys.
