GDT: New Jersey Hospital Patients vs. Washington Capitals

[NjDevs4994]

That’s enough JQ for me.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Strong finish to the game for JQ.

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

Lol jq. Wtf was that?

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Our PP is the most pitiful thing about this team. Why do we have to see it again?

Because your eyes haven't been burned enough to be blinded yet...

 

[Bleedred]

Will Blackwood turn in to something good? Or is it to early?

I'm waiting for the number retirement sometime soon and the HOF induction.

A few people here tried to convince me it wasn't our goalies and that it was impossible to have a league average save percentage here.

While I do think he's overachieving a bit, I'm having fun beating my chest and think I just broke my knuckles and breast bone.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

That’s enough JQ for me.

Yep. Done with him.

 

[None Shall Pass]

As I've said though, I think he's on a hot-ish streak to make up for how bad he was. He clearly isn't as bad as his first 9 games and I don't think he's as good as his last 8 or whatever many games it is either.

Or

And hear me out here

He was hurt for a long time, and now he's not anymore.

If you don't believe me, watch any of his early season games, and watch his more recent games, and notice how he moves a lot better.

 

[mtnet]

Magic number Steve?

Really?

 

[Bleedred]

Lol Quenneville is a loser

He wins at being out of shape.

 

[Emperoreddy]

That offensive spark from Jq.

 

[JK3]

Our tragic number is 47

He's definitely been better than earlier in the year, no question.

He looked like Ron Tugnutt coming out of retirement to play at 50-something years old his first 9 games.

Color me skeptical he'll ever be an average goalie again, unless it's as a sparsely used backup though.

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

Pretty f***ing sad that they may realistically win another two games the rest of the way and will STILL finish ahead of Ottawa.

 

[My3Sons]

If you don’t think MBW is worth watching you are missing out.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

That was the absolute best we could have hoped for. This team isn't capable of any more than that.

 

[njdevils1982]

well played

 

[Cult of Hynes]

Kowalsky is a garbage ass coach and Shero is still clueless when it comes to coaching

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Pretty ****ing sad that they may realistically win another two games the rest of the way and will STILL finish ahead of Ottawa.

Let's hope not in front of Detroit.

 

[JK3]

He must be something if I keep posting post game gifs in a loss.

Guy is the greatest of all time. The number goes into the rafters sometime before the year ends and he'll be in the HOF next year.

Seriously though, I feel bad saying this, because I almost feel like I'm mocking him and underselling him, more than mocking the ''It's impossible to have league average goalie'ing here because our D is awful'' meme.

He's exceeding expectations. I was afraid he'd get blown out today, just because he got scored on by the first shot (on a goal he had no chance on) and he's due for a blowout.

I was hoping to see him get the game at MSG, because I wanted him to get a game there, but it was also good to see him play against a tough offensive team and rise to the challenge.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

McLeod 71% on faceoffs. I think he should be the teams 4th line center next season and we should be exploring the option of playing Zacha as a winger.

Kid needs another year in the AHL to develop. Limited 4th line minutes at this point isn’t going to help him.

 

[glenwo2]

Definitely not.

Most goals we allow aren't bad, the defense is just terrible, but they do choose to show up for Blackwood because they know he isn't as good as the always winning Kinkaid or Cory.

Can't you stop with the wisecracks and be serious for a minute?

So both goals were of the NO CHANCE variety.

Correct? Correct.

I wasn't looking for comedy.

He’s a college aged kid playing behind an AHL team. He’s giving them a chance and standing up to some excellent offensive players. I’m happy to tune in to see if he takes the next step to develop consistency. I’m not suggesting he’s prime MARTY but he’s at least giving us something to cheer for compared to the dead end slugs like Lappin Pietilla JQ Agostino STAFFORD and the list goes on....

I think most rational ppl have been of the mindset that he isn't going to be the .925 goalie he was but he wasn't the .875 goalie he was either. I can see him being a .910-15 and that's fine enough for me.

 

[Better Call Sal]

I think I’m more comfortable with goaltending for next year than any other position.
