The starter should always start the 1st game of a back to back. Well Coreau got a win against their minor leaguers in the preseason. In Blashills mine that means he has a real gud record against Pittsburgh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also remember that Mrazeks confidence seems to have been shakey this year. Hes just now kinda building it back. The Pens are a team that can really set you back.

LeftWinger 5,065 Report post Posted December 4, 2016 I still think Larionov would make a great coach. But Spuddy would be an upgrade for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Per my friend's own calculations (he's an analytics-reliant gambler), this is true. Mrazek vs Howard in this game isn't much of a difference because the Pens are so favored to win (68%+ either way). Against the Islanders, Mrazek gives the Wings a 2% edge over Howard (44% vs 42%) Edited December 4, 2016 by shocky2002 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MabusIncarnate 5,355 Report post Posted December 4, 2016 I'm fine with Coreau playing tonight. This is a game they went into heavily favored to lose regardless, Mrazek came off two solid starts after a few abysmal appearances, why toss him in against the offensive powerhouse Pens and risk him giving up 4-5 and knocking him down a notch? The Isles game tomorrow is less tilted, for both Mrazek and his confidence, and as a game overall that can be won. Mrazek gives us the better chance to win than Coreau in a more winnable game. Just my opinion though. 3 krsmith17, roboturner and puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
