Post-Game Talk: Devils lose 4-3 (OT): The What happened to the PK Edition

[ajdevjet]

what happened to our goaltender ? terrible last 3 games

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

he has absolutely not been 'terrible' the past few games. He wasn't good in the Washington game but he was fine the other 2 games.

the only bad goal in the past 2 was the Sharks' 3rd goal.

Was he terrible last night? I know 4 goals and all, but were any of the bad variety?

 

[JRZ DVLS]

Cant say he's stolen a game either. hasn't been stellar.. Just average. whats in front of him hasn't heled all too much on the d sid of the game. The PK is really killing them. and he has to make saves there...when he can to bail them out some...

Some of you guys really need to change your expectations for Schneider

I'd say he stole the TB game.

Correct he has not been anything more then average, which is dissapointing thus far. But it's early.

On the PK goals only criticism might be rebound control?

other than the TB game he's been very average, last night up 3-1 at the start of the 3rd vs our biggest rival he's gotta put the team on his back and steal a game for us ! thats all Im saying, never a good sign when the goalie turns his head after the puck bounces off the back of the net.

yes rebound control....another very important part of a goaltenders game, and his stick handling skills arent that good either.

yeah right I mean all we ask is that he make a key stop at a critical juncture, we got some nerve dont we.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

so you're saying he hasn't made any key stops at critical junctures in the past 2 games?

really?

I think we're watching different games.

 

[ajdevjet]

he has absolutely not been 'terrible' the past few games. He wasn't good in the Washington game but he was fine the other 2 games.

fine ? he needs to be more than just "fine" he was fine in the SJ game ? he was fine last night ? LOL stop it please

 

[wellonegm05*]

This....
I was talking about this with my fiends...His rebound control has not been good. Sy what you want bout Marty and nt being the same old marty, but his rebound control was almost always spot on. Cory seems to be just pushing it right out in front expecting a d-man to clear it. Marty almost always put it to the boards...

Well thats what happens when as fans we get spoiled watching him. We go from one of the greatest to ever play the game, to a guy who's never even been an undisputed starter in his career. Cory is a great goalie IMO. But he plays the game the modern way. Just how it is.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

good in the Washington game ???? LMAO stop it please !

read it again. slowly, this time.

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

As usual, you have no idea what your talking about. He kept them in the San Jose game and was outstanding in the first 2 periods last night. He hasn't been great but he has been fine. If your blaming him for any loss outside the Washington game then I can't take your opinions seriously.

last night he didn't

yeah and you know it all...its my opinion that he has been below average so far this season. get the blinders off , look at his numbers for god sake

 

[ajdevjet]

read it again. slowly, this time.

Ha got me on that one....he still has been below average so far. He needs to be better, not sure why you and a few others here cant admit that.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

SO LAST YEAR WHEN PEOPLE WERE SAYING THIS EXACT THING ABOUT MARTY YOU SCOFFED AT US.

can't have it both ways, my man.

if the modern way is below average then this league is in big big trouble

is a league average save % too much to ask for? Guys getting 3+ goals a game in support. Or would we rather tighten up and then lose 3-2 or 2-1 like he did all last year. Some guys are winners, and some arent. Not saying Cory has defined himself as either yet, however hopefully this is somewhat enlightening to those who thought it was just about stats

 

[wellonegm05*]

The modern way is wearing big pads, playing to "block" the shot as opposed to react and save it(hence the putrid rebound control), no knowledge of the rink outside of the crease, and getting down into butterfly when the puck crosses the blue line. Cory is one of the better ones at it, but the difference between great and average isnt much. If Cory had a clue how to play the puck the Zedlicky give away never happens.

But he has a winning record man...isn't that all that matters?

His career win% is still very good.

But he needs to play better. Not that he's been terrible this year, but I think when he signed him to that contract we were all expecting/hoping for top5 goalie in the league, and he certainly has not been that. But again, 6 games.

Check out Rask's numbers so far. Or Lundqvists.

Anyone who is into stats would be the first to tell you that a goaltender's play cannot be properly assessed after six games.
