This is Petr Mrazek’s mask. We love this guy. And oh by the way he’s good. Have you ever loved an athlete for something more related to their personality then performance? Their favorite band? Their beer of choice? We will talk about it today: 248-539-9797.

How perfect is that? You see the team in Grand Rapids is named the Griffins. Mrazek’s first name is Petr. The “star” of Family Guy is Peter Griffin. For good measure, they gave Peter some super powers.

Well done, sirs (Mrazek and artist Dave Gunnarsson).

This will be the 10th game of the season for the Red Wings and the first one that Howard hasn’t started. He has played all but 18:45 this season and has certainly not been at his best with a 3.07 goals-against average and .892 save percentage.
