He had some anxiety issues with Vancouver? One of the reasons that his puckhandling was also mentioned.

“Physically, we tried everything,†Schneider explained.
“Hydrating. Electrolytes. This and that. I was taking everything known to man and drinking gallons of water before the game. But I could still feel it.
“I realized, it can’t be hydration because I’m on top of that.
“Sometimes, outwardly, you’re not anxious but inside you can be anxious. That anxiety can cause you to tighten up.â€
Schneider had to tweak his mental approach and, over time, re-learned how and when to do something that seems so natural: breathing.
“I tried to do certain things to make sure it never happens again.
Some of it was mental things, and then there was breathing, relaxing I had to do. Things that take your mind off of those trigger points. It was important to overcome and get good at so I don’t have those issues going forward.
I talked a lot to my agent Mike Liut, who has played, and he was the one who first reminded me I have to breathe. You forget to breathe and it can cause you to get tight. Then, you don’t even realize what’s happening until it’s too late.â€
Seriously zero reason for Sal to play over 18 minutes and Larsson play 12.
Actually, DeBoer made a lot of sense in that interview. He basically said veterans get longer rope because they've established themselves in the NHL, while rookies have not so they sit or play limited minutes as a result of their mistakes. It makes sense, until you've established yourself you deserve more scrutiny versus a player who has been in the league for 10, 15 years.
That's just how it works, and most coaches in the NHL use that philosophy. Coaching has nothing to do with NJD's problems, they have a roster with 3 rookies on defense, a goalie who doesn't know how to play as a starter, and a wildly inconsistent offense with slow foot speed. That's why they lose games.
Is it just me or do you think that Kinkaid is a better fit for this chaotic team than say Cory ATM? Kinkaid cut his teeth in Albany and is used to breakdowns and being shelled. I think he may be more mentally prepared than Cory.

If this team had the same penalty kill as last year, and the rest of the stats stayed the same as this year, they would actually look ok.
Where are the Devils in shots against?
They're ****ing awful defensively...just putrid. It's just a bad mix of rookies and old farts.
I miss FAYNE!!!!!! I can still see those dumb comments about "fayne not being needed since there was larsson" LOL ok

Last year it was the shootout monkey. We shook it only to pickup the PK monkey.
I assume once we shake that one, some other monkey will jump on. Probably injuries by the looks of it. Wish it was trunk monkey - he was hilarious and actually fun to watch.
If they could skate, they would actually look ok also.
Edmonton, Dallas and Colorado can skate. Yet they are bottom 3 in the west. Its only one part of the equation.
Has Fayne made Edmonton some lock down defensive team?
Sure Fayne would help, but his absence is not the reason for this teams struggles.
Though I did forget about him when talking about trades that should have been made. Like Clarkson, we should not have let Fayne walk for nothing.
no he hasn't but he'd be helping this team for sure right now.
it was a stupid decision and some people on this board took him for granted. i had to read idiotic comments about how "larsson has more potential and he's going to be able to take on fayne's minutes quite easily" lol sure. hope they're happy now.

letting go of him was idiotic. now you have salvador eating minutes and gelinas and larsson are not able to handle what's been given to them. it's not working. cory schneider is facing a ******** more of shots than he did last season as well.

Fayne wouldn't make that much of a difference considering deboer would still have that sal zidlicky pairing. And that would also mean the Devils have another contract that would be blocking defensive prospects off the team.Where are the Devils in shots against?
