When you expect each goalie to win 30 games this year, your expectations are probably a little high.
Haha true! I just look at both goalies and they look like 30+ win guys

He did win 3 in a row but weren't 2 of those comeback miracles? Maybe I am just overthinking and expecting too much from the guy. Maybe I just feel like this Bc every time I attend a game Cory loses
I don't think Marty will play both. What I could see happening, is Cory doesn't play a game next week that he otherwise would have played. The chances of that get better if Cory loses his game weekend.
You never know, it's Pete Dumbeor we're talking about here. Would anyone be shocked if he uses this game as a reference to ''Punishing'' Cory? I don't think he deserves it, but that shootout was tough to watch.
Here's where I can't agree. Zajac has been invisible mostly, Henrique has not. You can even put Henrique in the Zajac category, totally not fair. Zajac is the highest paid player on the team isn't he?
I don't think we should start judging Henrique on a half a bad season last year and a quarter of a slow year this season.
2-1 in LA we never trailed. 5-2 in Carolina that wasn't really a miracle comeback (down 2-1 going into the third), but it was a miracle goal outburst in the third period. 1-0 against Buffalo wasn't a comeback lol
The next five games are two back-to-backs and one single game in Columbus on Tuesday. Barring something stupid one goalie's playing three of those five and one's playing two. Yeah I could see Marty getting the Tuesday game if he wins his weekend game and Cory doesn't, and that wouldn't even bother me. If they both win (or both lose) then it gets tricky.
Where does Henrique get a free pass from? Am I missing something?
Of course it applied to Zajac. Zajac hasn't proven me a damn thing since 9 left. Why are you assuming I'm being hypocritical?
Both Zajac and Henrique cashed in on paychecks that they should send out commisions for. To 9 and 9/17 respectively.
I have no qualms equally distributing criticism to all the underperforming players on this team.
Again though, we're talking about barely 80 games. When pretty much the entire team sans Jagr has also stunk offensively for that same stretch. You can't credit his entire success to 9/17 and then give him the entire blame for stinking with rotted garbage around him.
Fair enough.
But plenty of people are willing to dismiss Josefson, Tedenby, Loktionov and others based on less games. And these are people who haven't had the luxuries Henrique has had.
We can table this.
I do appreciate Pete using 4 forwards at the end of OT. I wish next time he would use 4 forwards for the last couple minutes.
Does it matter if we lose in OT? I mean it saves us from having to watch yet another pitiful shootout loss.
At this point if we do lose in OT, I'll never even think ''What could have been if we got it to the shootout?''. Just take the OT loss. I would be really surprised if this team wins one shootout game this year.

The only reason Henrique isn't sitting in the press box is because of his reputation. If "Henrique! It's Over! never happened I doubt Deboer has any qualms sitting the guy. Josefson sits because he doesn't have the track record (albeit one season). So Henrique gets the benefit of the doubt.
He gets top 6 minutes. He gets the PP. He gets the PK. He gets OT. He gets the shootout.
He has done NOTHING since his rookie year to earn ANY of that (aside from the PK).
Yet everyone constantly points to that as some sort of barometer of success for the guy. He hasn't approached that since that year. He's not playing well at all this year. If Josefson received the playing time with Henrique's linemates, with that consistency, I bet Josefson isn't producing significantly less than Rico if any less.
We did win our last three in OT before tonight so at least before tonight we definitely have not been playing for the shoot out.
Anyway I missed the entire game. What the hell happened? I saw the Line of Misfit Toys did some work tonight. Loki, Ryder, and Elias all scoring, and the Booch getting an assist.
So what the hell happened? How did Cory give up 3, and one so late? Was it defensive breakdowns, softies? What? Seeing talk that we got some classless Subbans too.
Also obviously we got tooled in the shootout AGAIN...but did we at least score one?
Agreed.
Pete should have the Devils go balls-to-the-wall crazy trying to win in OT every time considering that if they fail to do so, it's a lock-it-down loss the moment OT ends and the Shootout begins.
Yes.
Would you believe that Reid Boucher was in the shootout?
Would you also believe that he went first......AND SCORED?
Would you also believe that Zajac went next, screwed up as usual and then Patty went next and failed as usual?
I remember that game too. Probably the first blown lead of the Dumboer era.Josefson did have an opportunity that year and he was playing well and then he broke his collarbone in the fifth game of the season. He came back and played well and got injured again in an islanders game and then came back for the rangers series.
I remember that game because it was against the Sharks and the Devils blew the lead with under a minute to go and lost in a shootout.
Cory got tooled too I assume? Impression I am getting.
Is that where the fresh Zajac hate is coming from? Or did he have a bad game.
Good for Reid though! But what the hell happened with Elias? He used to be good in the shootout, it seems like we are cursed with it.
Doesn't seem we can complain about goal scoring tonight. Three goals should be enough, and its a good thing when the Misfit Toys are scoring goals.
Hey at least we didn't get Henrique in the shootout again, or Ryder though I'm sure one of them was on deck if Patty'd actually scored.
From what I understand as far as Cory goes :
1st Goal was unstoppable
2nd Goal was weak-sauce (leave it to both our Goaltenders giving one of those up with regularity. )
3rd goal was a deflection off a stick that was dangerously close to being above the crossbar(after review it was deemed "below....Good goal")
The Shootout :
Let's just say if we replaced Cory with Yann Danis, you'd never know it.
That's how bad he was.
