mfitz804 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Our shooters should just close their eyes and rip the hardest snapshot they can. They would have equal if not better success in shootouts that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you know how often you flip a coin 23 times and it comes up heads 22 The "this is all luck" people have been proven wrong, no doubt about it. These are the same people who claimed Marty was the reason we didn't make the playoffs last year and that all we need to make the playoffs this year, is for Cory to start some more games - also clearly proven wrong. I don't fault DeBoer for his shootout picks. But the team is clearly convinced that they cannot win shootouts, just the same as us fans are. It takes a wise coach to get a team back in line mentally and DeBo just doesn't seem to have that ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a wise coach to get a team back in line mentally and DeBo just doesn't seem to have that ability. Said it before, but the problem with shootouts is that there isn't always rhyme and reason as to who is good at it and who isn't. You have to hope your goalies and some of your players are successful in them. Right now, the Devils' #1 goalie is about average in his career in shootouts, and they simply don't have much in the way of successful shootout shooters. You're never going to see a GM try to address shootout deficiencies over others. That to me is where the "luck" factors in...not so much that guys who don't perform well in them will start to get breaks that go their way, but that so much of it rests on happening to have good shootout guys on your roster. The guys who insist on saying "See, starting Cory is making no difference, nyah nyah nyah" are ignoring one very obvious thing: the team isn't playing nearly as "well" as it did last year. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison. I've already pointed this out in the CS Appreciation Thread...the Devils teams of the past two seasons were not very good, but they at least kept the opposing shot totals down and limited chances...like some have said, they were a low-event team in both ends of the ice. Now they still don't score much in the offensive end, but they give up shots and chances galore in their own end. Cory is facing 31.1 shots per 60 minutes this season...last season he was facing 24.8 per 60. If the team was still only allowing 25 shots or so per 60 minutes and Cory had a save% around .900, then maybe you'd have a point. And Marty did hurt the Devils last season...just look at Cory's GAA and save% and Marty's GAA and save% last season. One guy was clearly a lot better.

NJDevs4978 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Problem is while Cory stops the puck better it hasn't been better enough to make up for the puck handling deficiencies. You can only see so many 0-2 goal games with Cory/Kinkaid/Moose and the increased scoring with Marty and not see the difference at that end and keep dismissing it as coincidence.

I don't even fault DeBoer that much. I am simply saying that it clearly is not just luck...it must be a mental thing and DeBo surely hasn't been able to get them out of this mental funk. I'm not blaming him for getting them into it either. To your second point, I don't want to rehash old arguments but Marty absolutely DID hurt the team last year, and I didn't say he didn't. And Cory WAS a lot better than Marty. The only point there is that the solution to our problems did not lie in starting Cory more, because we had and have a poor team that, as you have pointed out, is currently getting worse, even though Cory is starting every game (and playing very well). With Cory's level of play, it really sucks for him that he is under .500 in career winning percentage as a Devils' goaltender.

The Devils scored an abnormally high amount of goals for Brodeur last season, and only last season. That's it. If Brodeur played 100 more games as a Devil, you'd see that number drop, but he won't, so you won't see it. It is simply a coincidence over 38 games. You saw the Devils get shutout a few times with Brodeur in net late in the year, and you saw the Devils start to score more for Cory later in the season. 2.77 goals/game in his final 13 starts.

I certainly agree that Marty's puckhandling helps out any team's offense. However, if I am not going to fault Marty for being the main reason we missed the playoffs last year, I certainly am not going to fault Cory's puckhandling skills (or lack thereof) for having any negative effect on the team this year. Cory (and Kinkaid) has been a bright spot on an island of suckage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the above is 100% spot-on. Would love to see what the Devils' shooting% was with Marty in net. I'm guessing it was a bit higher, which speaks to him reaping the benefits of good luck more than anything else. Sometimes in any given season, one guy simply enjoys more luck than the other guy, and that luck is often completely out of that player's control (and can't always be explained away). You see this in MLB all the time...the 20-game winner with meh-ish individual numbers and an ERA approaching 4.00, and the .500-ish guy who has better overall numbers and an ERA around 2.50. Then some people will try to spin that as "Well, the first guy knows how to win." Right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't just last year, they scored like a half goal more per game the year before with Marty's starts compared to Moose's starts iirc. The only thing fluky about last year was the amount of difference. There's no way Marty's average should have been that high or Cory's that low but there is a difference.

Zubie#8 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Why are we comparing this years team to last years team? They are not comparable. Last years team had a great defense and had great possession numbers. If Cory started more last year then maybe they would have made the postseason. This years team is a train wreck and thank god we have Cory because imagine any .905 goaltender facing this amount of shots per game along with this joke of an offense.
