GDT: Devils @ Red Wings, 7:30 PM, MSG+

Cory can only be what Louie and Lack have been. The third emergency goalie. He can’t in any way shape or form he Blackwood’s backup next season.

 

[MadDevil]

Now that we've all determined Cory needs to go, watch him play well the rest of the season.

Good then maybe we can trade him at 50% retained to whatever team Shero winds up GM'ing this offseason

Nah, ship him to Lou, Trotz, and their amazing goalie whisperer system.

Extend this man.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I do think Cory imploding could long term be for the best.

Goaltending can put lipstick on a pig so to speak by making a bad team look a lot better then it is.

forcing this team to face the reality that the roster simply isn’t ready yet, thus prompting the sell offs that brought in some high end and much needed assets will potentially help us really build a contender.

it also got Hynes the hell out of here.

i definitely rather see a young goaltender as backup and hopefully that pans out, provided that guy won't have a Louie type season like we saw. If that is the case (some Keith clone), i'd rather roll the dice with Cory for backup.

Age should not be a requirement for the backup goaltender. With a young starter in MBW there is no need to groom a young goalie in the NHL.

Nonono... No dice rolling. Pay a bit of our 38m cap space and grab halak for a year or two at 3m. I'm done with wondering when the first period softie is coming.

Yup. The dice roll is such a losing roll at this point, no need to even use the 1 calorie burned in rolling that dice.

Cory needs to go after this year, no matter what.

He's considerably worse at this point than Marty was at 42. If we seriously bring him back after this year, we will have given him more rope than Marty and that's insane.

He probably will play ''Well'' for the rest of the season, as his .852% coming into last game is unsustainable, even for the worst goalie in the NHL. He's due to play some good games or have a good stretch.

But I think just to get his save percentage up to .900% by the end of the season, he'd need to play at a .930% clip and that's assuming he plays 7 or 8 more games.

And I'm sure if that happens, people will be convinced that he's really a .930% goalie and not a .900% goalie and that he only played poorly early on because he got injured on opening night and because of Hynes and without Hynes he played at .930% or whatever.

Did anyone mention that Jack pass on the PP, cause that was sick

Yes it was if you watch Palmieri he says that was Jack like damn very impressive read and pass.......

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Hey Nas, why don't you scratch Bratt again you f***.

Like Bratt but proof is there that after he gets scratched he plays lights out.....so in this case Naz made right call imo.

That is really silly. It is not the right call to sit a guy after he scores the game winning shoot out goal.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Bratt was playing well when they scratched him.

 

[Better Call Sal]

f*** it, I still want Cory here.

I'm extremely biased though, as we know.

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

That's your opinion....but I look at results not feelings....as I said I like Bratt, however He is young and like most young guys they need to learn you have to be consistent game in game out and I feel giving him a kick in the butt is needed sometimes to bring an ELEVATED level of play not just good....imo

The Hughes contact on Fabbri was fine. He tried an open-ice hit, whiffed, caught his legs and got 2 minutes for tripping. All fair.

But the NHL should look at the preceding sequence. Fabbri threw an obvious elbow to Hughes' head. Guys have been suspended for less.

I never seen one player get as many 'glancing elbows' as that kid gets. (Rarely a full elbow, guys know they will caught. And many miss because he is too quick to connect). But they need to protect him. They should be Hayden on ice with Hughes at least once a period.
