I meant if Cory can keep himself on the level he was on before his collapse, and Keith can land somewhere between where he started the season and where he ended the season. I don't expect Kinkaid to suddenly be a .933 goalie or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I certainly think it's his to lose, which to me is very different. Agree with the above and am going to expand on it. I'd say their roles are a little less defined now, the way the season unfolded. From now on I think it's Cory's job to lose (due to track record and money)...but if he has 2-3 rough games next year, and KK has a good one, I don't think Cory gets right back in there nearly as easily as he would have previously. If Cory hits a little slump, KK will get a chance to roll now...and that means Cory might have to wait several days or even weeks to get the majority of the playing time again. The gap has narrowed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derlique Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Cory earned the net back and it isn't even a question, imo. What Kinkaid did in the last month and half in the season can not be overlooked. He got the job done, when a combination of Appleby, Lack and Schneider could not. In fact, I would not be shocked if he garnered a few Vezina votes. There is just one simple fact that can't be overlooked: he is Keith Kinkaid. 20+ games of hot play does not erase several seasons of average and inconsistent play. I, and I'm sure many fans, will be eternally grateful that he played such a major role in getting us back into the postseason, but he is what he is. The results were there but there were so many instances when the other team would miss empty nets, pucks would just squirt wide when hitting him or he was out of position and the puck just hit him. He gets credit for making these saves, but I think his play was certainly worse than the numbers indicate. Aside from the obvious, the best part about this playoff series is that Schneider got a win and stringed together three and a half marvelous games in high leverage situations. It was only a couple of months ago when he carried us in the first half of the season. Yes, he had a couple of rough outings before his injury but when you get hurt and play inconsistently, how the hell do you get into a rhythm? If Schneider can stay healthy, which is easier said than done lately, he is still an above average goalie. You can not say the same about Kinkaid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly got his starters' job back, unfortunately he still hasn't rid himself of the black cloud over his head as a Devil. OF COURSE when he finally plays well the offense goes back in the tank. It just seems as if it's never going to work out for him here - when he plays well the team doesn't score, and when he doesn't then the team scores enough for him to still lose one-goal games.

We will see come training camp and the start of next season. By the the end of October, who the #1 is should be evident. The team will need to see who is the man.

redruM Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I think Cory definitely proved he is the #1, but he needs to stay healthy and on top of his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Has he won a regulation game since I posted this? Some people are just born to lose. That's Cory Schneider. Edited February 15, 2019 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Can we repurpose this thread to talk about how Cory's not letting us rebuild properly? .934 over last 8 games, 4 wins in last 5. Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel Auston Matthews, Patrik Laine Jack Hughes, Kaapo Kakko Players that Cory's elite but untimely goaltending have kept us out of the running for. Let that sink in. And to be clear, I'm not blaming the ginger. I'm blaming Lou. But anyway - it sure appears that he's back to form. He's looked great out there.

On balance, Schneider's play this season is still bad and has still cost the Devils wins relative to an average goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
