And this is what MLHS actually said:

6.  What can you even say at this point? It?s hard to create offense in a game like this, and Petr Mrazek goes and lets that third goal in.

Even if you have faith in Jack Campbell?s play rebounding, you typically need a second goalie at some point if you?re going anywhere in the playoffs, and Mrazek doesn?t even look like he can pinch-hit safely right now if the Leafs did have a reliable starter.

At a certain point, a team will collapse psychologically and lose all structure defensively when goals like this continue to go in, and it can be hard to rediscover that confidence overnight. The Leafs need a reset in net, and it probably has to come from Campbell?s eventual return as well as some outside help.


So, yup.
I almost think he looks worse than Hutchinson.

Which do you prefer: the goalie that is in position and lets the puck through, or the goalie who is aggressively cutting angles and finds himself out of position while the puck lands on an opponent's stick (ostensibly because the Leafs' defense is juuuust a bit late or on the wrong side of the body).

I like the ones that stay in position and let the puck strike them before its falls into their catching glove.

I find that to be Mrazek's biggest issue...too aggressive and the Leafs D/F don't adjust for it. They're not in sync with each other at times. So used to calm Freddie and Jack is pretty calm in the net also, conparitively speaking.
