Devs3cups Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 You guys really think Schneider isn't the starter next year? The chance that Schneider isn't starting for us next year is very slim in my opinion, and I don't doubt at all that he'll bounce back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when people said a goalie named Martin Brodeur couldn't win the job over starter Chris Terreri. KK has to be feeling confident with every passing game .

If he's still here it could be a circus next year, the way it was Cory's first year here with him and Marty. It's hard to put a guy with Cory's contract on the bench but if they make the playoffs on KK's back he'll have earned the chance to go into next season as the starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, there’s no doubt in my mind Cory can bounce back next year, and if he does he will be the starter. KK is good right now, so keep on playing him, but in the long run, I’m less confident. We’ll see next year, honestly I’m not thinking about mext year at all right now lol. I think a similar situation would be Price in MTL, he’s having an ATROCIOUS year. But I have no doubt he’ll bounce back to top form next year, cause he’s a top goalie. I don’t think a bad year or stretch changes that, and I feel the same with Cory, he can bounce back. We’ll see.

Plus the Habs are rebuilding at this point anyway while we have to play more for win now. And if KK's ever going to be a long-term starter might as well find out next year while he's still cheap. Cory was good in a structured system where he doesn't have to move, the system he was traded to - and the one we ran the first year of the new regime cause we didn't have the horses to go up-tempo but he's just not been that good since we've gone with more of the fast, attacking, supportive plan.

Absolutely no doubt about it. at this point I really don't give a fvck who starts as long as they win so, hey, whatever works. The difference is Cory also gives up the 4th goal and we lose in regulation. Keith doesn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK has to be feeling confident with every passing game . No one was saying that. The feeling was that the Devils had gone as far as they could possibly go with Terreri as their #1 (though he was popular with fans) and that three years after being drafted in the first round, Marty was ready to play with the big club. Everything that year went completely according to plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I remember feeling that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That added to Terreri's popularity...more and more Burke came off like an entitled ass (who infamously once told Devils fans who were booing him to go to hell), while Terreri was kind of like the little underdog engine that could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read it was not in the plan for Marty to play that year lol, he only got pushed up a year early cause the immortal Peter Sidorkowicz got hurt in camp.

hit the post Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Cory is and always will be so,so at best. Not saying KK is the answer but Cory will never get this team near a cup IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously going back a ways, but I don't really remember Sidorkiewicz being brought in as anything more than insurance...his career was pretty much on life support at that time...he had a combined .867 save% for the previous four seasons (though in the last of those he got #1 minutes for a dreadful Ottawa team). Billington and Mallette were dealt for him, in what seemed like a bit of a "What the hell" kind of deal at the time, in that two low-rung goalies were moved for each other. I remember Marty (according to his book) not really expecting to be in Utica for much more than the lone season he spent there...I got the impression that he was a little bummed that he had to go there after getting a taste of NHL action in 1991-92, but Lou had told him the plan for 1992-93 was for him the spend the whole season in the AHL.

If he went 1-7-3 instead of 0-9-2, that would change so much right now. Kinkaid has done a marvelous job pulling this season out of the fire after Schneider choked it away. I don't think any of us ever thought KK was capable of this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's shown flashes within games of making big saves since he came up (think his 1st save was on a nice breakaway by stamkos). The only thing that was lacking, esp during his slump was consistency. Always knew he was good, and could play well if he fixed that issue... seems like he has, and is playing well. Also i think he can see this is his chance to earn a starters role in the future, and more $$, so imo that helped to up his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Schneider might not make another start the rest of the season, unless the game in Washington is meaningless. That's how far Schneider has fallen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it's also interesting that the Devils have drafted at least one goalie every year since Shero has been here. I doubt he was planning for the bottom to fall out on Schneider so soon, but perhaps part of the long term vision is to find adequate goaltending on the cheap.
