NJDevs4978 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 This seriously has to be a record for shootout futility, not even a GOAL in fifteen attempts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Henrique is terrible at breakaways and shootouts. Go with guys who have actual dangle ability. Tedenby, Brunner, Loktionov, and even Zidlicky should be chosen before Henrique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zidlicky actually has had some success in the shootout in the past, you wouldn't know it cause he's never used by us though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Kessels goal should never have happened as well... It was a terrible call by the ref. Yea but that goal could have happened 5 on 5 too. But "7" is off his rocker if he thinks the Devils didn't deserve at least a point. IMO, the Devils were the better team. Leafs fans would agree.

TheRedStorm Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 The shootout is a microcosm of the skill level of this team. While the SO is 50/50 and even great players aren't great at it, it shows how little skill they have. No hands. Ryder looked like he gave half a sh!t. I consider this game a shutout anyway. Without a gift, they'd be shutout again. It's pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxpower Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I can't stand the shootout, even when we had Kovy and were getting the wins. I'm just not a fan at all. I would rather see a 10 min OT 4 on 4 and a 5 min 3 on 3. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2 It's not like they're going to win in OT either, the way that they treat them. I mean Zubrus doesn't belong anywhere near a 4 on 4 with his rotting speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Devils are 0-21 in their last shootout attempts dating back to last season. Their last shootout goal was Zajac on Bishop in Ottawa in March of 2013 The Devils are 2-15 in their last 17 shootout/OT games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Our incapacity to score is very alarming, i mean... A guy all alone against the goalie cant even scored, we havent scored a single penalty shot, shootout goal... Maybe one breakaway goal?

Without a gift, they'd be shutout again. It's pathetic. The problem is our skilled guys are unproven or old. Elias, Zidlicky, and Jagr are proven, but they're a combined 79 years old. We also have guys like Tedenby, Brunner, Loktionov, and Josefson who all have skill. But they don't have a track record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Brown Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 put Gelinas in the shootout...........he'll skate in and slap in through the glove Brian Rolston was known for just letting it rip in the shootout.

They couldn't counter a failed 3 on 1 with all 3 below the circle I would still rather see more hockey played instead of a skills competition...just my opinion.
