He needs to do enough to at least get a point
Getting 1 point per game actually very slightly hurts their chances of making the playoffs vis-a-vis my above math.
That's how bad things are.
Blackwood will probably play against Vancouver.I can't wait for the ripping that'll ensue when Cory does play, and people will be like but Blackwood had back to back shutouts of Vancouver at home the last two years, how can you not play him? I mean you got 68 games to go, you can't literally treat every game as if it's a total must-win at this point of the season. If you do Blackwood will be run into the ground by Christmas. Granted we might be totally out of the race with Hall on the block by Christmas anyway...

He should still be the starter, so one good game by Cory (that's assuming he does play good tomorrow against Edmonton, which is probably a 66%-75% chance that he won't) shouldn't put Blackwood on this bench at this point, as Cory is a bottom 2 active goalie in the NHL over the last 3+ seasons now.
I'm just waiting for Cory to have a good game and then having to read ''Cory was great. He had a bad game against Tampa, but he likely was just having a hard time after the cramping on opening night, which obviously set him back after having a really good preseason, as well as a final 16 games last year and WC tournament''. As the rationalization (And excuses for him) with him is some of the worst I've seen for a player ever.
It happened a couple times. It happened both in the first half of last year and second half of 17-18 with Kinkaid playing a lot of back to backs because Cory was unplayable. But Cory did play sometimes in the first half of last year, so you're probably thinking of 14-15. When Cory started the first 20+ games of the season because Scott Clemmensen was our backup and Kinkaid was being sent back and forth, but had never had an NHL start at that time.Didn't it happen a few years ago when we didn't trust Cory or one of our backups or something and we had a goalie play every game including back to back games for months on end? Not saying that should be done here or anything, just wanted to know if I was remembering right.
There's usually a very small (VERY small) but vocal contingent that's convinced he's coming back eventually, that the injuries just slowed him down and cherrypicking streaks.Who are these people you keep referring to that make excuses for Cory? The dude gets ripped all the ****ing time on here.
I'm just here for Lil' ****y.

Hahaaha! Are you serious with that? That's delusional.
Last year only 9 teams hit 100 points. They'd have to flip a switch INSTANTLY & become a top-10 team starting tomorrow night.
This team's "ability", even with a decent coach, is not 100 points.
THIS SEASON IS OVER. This is a deceased parrot!
Accept reality and begin your Kubler-Ross journey.
