GDT: The Cory: Devils @ Rangers, 1 PM, MSG+

[BahlDeep]

Lol Salvador shocked that Severson is playing the PK instead of Santini

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

Ok that shift was awesome. We need more Coleman-Hischier-Bratt shifts.

Hopefully Hynes will try this sooner than later. I think Palmieri is better with Zajac and Wood than with Hischier and Bratt.

 

[Bleedred]

This game is a win if we don't allow another goal and at least don't get shutout.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Not a single Rag defender has had to break a sweat today.

 

[Bleedred]

No shutout! It's a WIN!

 

[Maine Fan]

I don't think he's bouncing back.

He'll be a below average goalie for the rest of his career probably, except for maybe an isolated good season.

What if Cory plays with an average to better defense in front of him?

 

[Bleedred]

The excuses will still POUR in.

''He's injured''.

''It's Hynes! He sucks''

''LOL''

Because, frankly, your argument is sorta ridiculous. The whole 100 game argument thrown about by you and a few others is, frankly, meaningless, and beyond that totally void of intellectual honesty.

He's a butterfly goalie who had a hip injury for the past two years. That's like a pitcher with a broken arm or a wide receiver with a broken hand. It makes it near impossible to perform well in any measurable way.

He's not young, and not our goalie of the future, and no one is going to argue that he is. But all the objective evidence so far is that, after finally recovering from the injuries and surgeries, he's playing very well behind a putrid team. Not elite anymore, sure, but still very good.

He's been very good for like 5 games now, so that means he's still very good? Or do you just mean he's been very good recently?

Understood but will his numbers get better? I don't support him but I think a better defense in front of him will cover up his bad play. I feel the same is true for KK.

I don't think it will get better with a better defense.

He used to be great with a poor defense.

Santini blows.

But I don't think Severson should play the PK either, to be fair.

Santini could be okay on the PK.

 

[Maine Fan]

Dano the never ending apologist... It’s exhausting. We need an X’s and O’s type guy in the booth, if only MSG had someone like that....

For me it's Ok when Sal is there. He is better talking to coaches and players and understanding the plays. Without Sal the broadcast loses quality.

 

[Bleedred]

Gryba needs to get out of the way there.

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

Kreider is such a . A face you just want to punch.

 

[Bleedred]

I don't think we're gonna win this challenge, but nothing to lose.

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

They should give NJ a bench minor for that bull shit challenge. Total waste of time.

I mean he's been very good since getting sent down for the "abdominal injury". His stats show it and, in my opinion, the eyetest shows it as well. He's moving quicker, no backbreakingly bad goals, his glove is looking good too.

I think his faults so far are rust-related and will be minimized. His rebound control was good, historically, and it seems that that could use some work. Right now, though, I don't see his play as anything but encouraging.

I'm not saying that I think he'll be the Cory we traded for, but that was a long time ago anyway. If he keeps this up, though, I don't see why he couldn't be a decent-to-good #1/1A for a year or two after this one.

 

[ThePrideofStockholm]

Can someone please explain to me why Gryba is just standing there?

Fair enough, but the best I see him being is a good backup.

I think he could have one good season as a starter, where it looks like he might be better, but will probably revert back to this version the next year.

I think he looks better, but he's likely not as bad as he was to start the year and not as good as he's been since getting called back up.

 

[Bleedred]

Can someone please explain to me why Gryba is here?

I don't know why he's here, but I hope he sits for Carrick next game.

It will probably be Santini though, which I'm fine with.

Or Mueller, which I'd be irate with.

 

[glenwo2]

Your impersonation of me is not complete without *****ing about the goalie!

Don't you think that goes without saying?

 

[Bleedred]

We'd probably allow another PP goal if that happened.

Are we even 50% on the PK today? I know we've killed one.

 

[Bleedred]

Nice goal, that was all Palmieri though.

 

[Blender]

That defending was worse than ours.
