Wasn't just as a prospect, look at his first 100 or so games in the NHL, looked like an easy future Vezina winner, even posted a .925 and .945 in consecutive years in the playoffs against Tampa.Back when Gibson, Vasilevsky, Hellebuyck, and Murray were mere prospects, Mrazek was generally considered to be on the same level as those four. Slightly below Gibson and Vasilevsky, but ahead of Hellebuyck and Murray since Mrazek was more of a sure thing, IIRC.
This was like 4 years ago.
Goaltender growth is weird.
Yeah, that didn't pan out. Hard to believe just how much he sucked.
He played well his first few games for the Flyers. Then he just shit the bedHe was genuinely, surprisingly bad.
I'm actually surprised. In the games I saw, he seemed above average.
Lol noThere was talk about Simmonds to Wild, maybe something around Simmonds and Dubnyk?
You caught his few good games, then.
I'm actually surprised. In the games I saw, he seemed above average.
He overplayed nearly every shot from the wings and usually ended up half way behind his net. It would have been comical if it wasn't so infuriating.
I don't think his ego would allow it, to be honest. If someone tries, don't let him pick the goalie coach; the DRW brought in the one he wanted and he got even worse than what he already was. Ironically, it was Howard that got better and benefitted from that move hah!can an elite goalie coach salvage this guys career ? dubnyk went from ww fodder to a vezina finalist so anythings possible I suppose
