Plus the guy could actually get shots on net. Didn't look out of place at all.
Didn't we say that about Carrick too?

At least Mermis has 3 inches and 20 pounds on Carrick.Didn't we say that about Carrick too?
Obviously not the best game but was nice to get another home win since there's been so few this year.
Mac is awesome. I hope he starts Saturday, give Cory the game in Detroit on Tuesday. There's no excuse for anything else.
this was ugly, but have to feel good about Severson leading the defense in TOI and Zacha leading the forwards in TOI and getting a 2-1 win.
i also absolutely cannot fathom where our team would be without Blackwood. just an absolute gem, mostly the only reason to watch this team and can’t wait to see him in a devils uniform for years to come.
if he can work more on getting that blocker in good shape, we will have a very hard goalie to beat.
Blackwood: .915%Blackwood now 11-3-3 in his last 17 games. 20-12-7 on the year.
Non Blackwood 3-15-3 on the year.
So if Cory is back here now, where’s Domingue? Are we carrying 3 goalies here until season’s end? Or is Louis in Bing? Domingue just had a monster game in St. Louis and is better then Schneider now.

The life on a journeyman NHL goalie. This year: Tampa, Newark, Bing, Newark . . . and now? Keep your bags packed. Have blocker will travel.Dominguez has been waived. They are going with the money guy, Schneider
Okay, I'll bite.
Why are you saying "Thank you"?
I am a Sens fan. You guys winning was a pretty big deal for our tank and we have SJ's 1st round pick.
I thought wins were not an appropriate measure of success for a goalie?Blackwood now 11-3-3 in his last 17 games. 20-12-7 on the year.
Non Blackwood 3-15-3 on the year.

lol
Nice story but this is actually what you said and what I responded to.See, this is what gets annoying about this board sometimes.
My response was to someone that stated Gusev has an amazing shot. You then proceeded to quote that response and disagree. But now, of course, you are saying he has a "decent shot." Keep moving those goal posts.
In summary: I disagree with a poster saying Gusev has an amazing shot. You disagree with my disagreement. Then you state Gusev has a "decent" shot.
Kinda silly, no?
No trigger man on that line is the problem....as it is with most lines on this team since Palms is the only shooter.
Define amazing? He definitely does not have an amazing shot by NHL standards. I like the guy, but he's a playmaker.
Now, before you disagree, realize you just stated you have no idea why he doesn't shoot more. When the reality is he shoots a lot (dead even with Palms), he just isn't good at it so you don't realize it.
Well when the save % and goals against clearly show why a goalie is winning more then the other guys, it does become an interesting point.I thought wins were not an appropriate measure of success for a goalie?

Only when they are backed by a good Save Percentage which he has.I thought wins were not an appropriate measure of success for a goalie?

And playing Cory will hopefully also show management that it's over and he needs to be bought out. You can't seriously go into next season with this goalie tandem again, that had clearly proved that it wasn't gonna work out even before October was over. If he has a .920% over the remaining games he plays, it means nothing because he had an .852% in the first half. That just means that he's a .900% goalie and not an .852% goalie any more than he's a .920% goalie.Yeah I'm completely against playing Mackenzie in everygame just because it isn't a back to back. Seasons over anyway. Why risk an injury. And like someone else said, playing Dominique will show management how important a good backup is these days.
We had another goaltender who for several seasons also had a great save percentage playing behind a crappy team who was bottom 10 in scoring, just like a Blackwood. Yet his win rate was much worse. You don’t find that suspicious?Only when they are backed by a good Save Percentage which he has.
