GDT: Devils vs Golden Knights- 7:00, MSG+

[Bleedred]

Incoming loss.

He will make the 1st though, so moral victory

What do you mean by make the 1st? Make it through the 1st period?

 

[Devils Dominion]

Rain him with boos if he sucks yet again.

Absolutely

He deserves loud boos if he let's in soft goals.

[None Shall Pass]

Rooting for your goalie to fail and get boo'd is cool and normal.

Also: Anti TANK policy in GDTs

 

[Darkauron]

If you want to tank, you are gonna get spanked!

 

[FooteBahl]

We’re a much better team at home, hopefully this can propel Cory back to his old self. Tonight his luck changes! This is our independence night!

 

[JK3]

Holy shit it's Cory's first home start, how is that possible lol.

 

[Blender]

If Cory gets shelled he will get booed for sure. Hopefully he can finally win a game.

Q: What is this team lacking?

Hynes:

 

[NJDevs26]

I’m perversely more interested in tonight’s game now...in the same way it’s interesting to see a train wreck with gasoline onboard crash next to a dumpster fire.

Live look in at a discussion with Miles Wood on his in-game strategy

Meanwhile, here's Steven Santini asking Coach Hynes to get into a game this year.

 

[MartyOwns]

big games from schneider and zacha tonight

 

[Dialamo]

big games from schneider and zacha tonight

Multi point game for Zacha + a Schneidout, BOOK IT

 

[AfroThunder396]

Apparently Pacioretty might be a healthy scratch?

 

[Maine Fan]

Paul Statney returns tonight for Vegas after a 30 game layoff because of lower body injury.

Vegas is 9-2 in past 11 games

Hopefully Schneider has a good game at home, they need two goalies.

Go Devils

 

[JimEIV]

Somebody just offered me tickets. I simply said Schneider is starting.

They said ok and walked away.

Sry, make a save on the 1st shot. Quickly typed at work

Hes going to rebound.... but if you think it's too his old self from 3 yrs ago when he was above avg, you'll be disappointed

 

[Bleedred]

Yeah, I can see it right now. He stop the first however many shots, they don't even score within the first 10 minutes, it looks like he's having a good period, then BAM! He allows some crappy goal, that we'll have to hear is a ''Good shot'', probably scored by one of their snipers. Marchessault or Pacioretty, who now appears like he won't be playing tonight.

 

[Maine Fan]

Hall is going to be a game time decision.

 

[Bleedred]

Here's how I see it. He's probably not as bad as he's been this year, nor the last however many regular season games he played last year, and he's also not nearly as good he was as he was through the first 28 games last year, nor the playoffs. He's probably somewhere in between, which is still a very poor but still (just barely) NHL caliber goaltender.

At some point, pucks will just start hitting him and his teammates won't be scoring on him, even if he still allows a lot of those questionable goals he's also been allowing. He might even have 5 posts hit and allow 2 very weak goals, but only allow 2 goals on 38 shots or something, which will increase that poor numbers a bit.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

So what happens if Cory only lets one goal in and our own player shoots it?

And we lose 1-0?

That feels entirely possible for some reason.

The extremely vocal contingent of "fans" here will undoubtedly blame him.

 

[Bleedred]

The extremely vocal contingent of "fans" here will undoubtedly blame him.

I know this is a shot at me, but I only blame him for the goals that are stoppable.

Like goals 1 and 3 from last game, goals 1, 2 and 4 from the Tampa game, goal 1 against Carolina, goal 5 against Winnipeg and goals 1 and 3 against Detroit. And I think goal 4 against Ottawa. Of course not every goal he allows is a bad one, but over 30% of the ones he allows are.

I have him down for 11 out of 25 goals allowed and the stats the last 2+ years back me up here, if you don't trust my count.
