Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Trying to stay level headed about Blackwood. It's difficult thought because he is the next coming of Martin Brodeur and will break all of his records within the next 5 years. 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb00rs Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Blackwood was well protected today but he looks way better than Wedgewood ever did. I can't explain it either. He was terrible last year. Sometimes they grow up fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't explain it either. He was terrible last year. Sometimes they grow up fast. well, he was the top ranked goalie prospect from North America in that draft class, second overall behind only Ilya Samsonov who was taken by the Caps in the 1st round. he was always seen as an athletic freak... won OHL goalie of the year his first year as our prospect... had a good year in his first pro year with Albany... then had a bad year last year on a dumpster fire Binghamton team... and this year had been pretty good for them. even if the numbers aren't incredible, I think it is worth noting that the AHL is a more helter skelter type of league where numbers are generally not going to be as good... for instance his .911 SV PCT in the AHL is good enough for 11th best, whereas that same number would be tied for 24th best in the NHL. so, as much as we trash the defense here, they're obviously far more structured here than whatever we have going on in Bing. as you mentioned, he was well protected today for sure. I think the biggest thing about him is that he's just so technically sound... he's really had exceptional positioning and his reflexes are just ridiculous. he's also been pretty great with rebound control, frequently sticking pucks up out of the crowd that someone like Kinkaid would probably just boot directly to another opposing forward. he's not going to be lights out forever but this has been great to watch. super encouraging, and he's only 22. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Maybe I will get lucky. As in........... maybe the Devils have found their franchise goal as my football team has found a franchise QB (Bills with Allen). But I will shut up now and not jinx it on both counts.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Heh heh, what a sore loser. Fine if you're not a big fan of Newark in general, but to knock The Rock?! Guy must think the Devils still play at CAA...there's nothing REMOTELY bleak about the Pru Center...just a flat-out lie. And the immediate surrounding area isn't bad at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much calls into question the accuracy of anything else he wrote after it...if you actually bothered to keep reading On a separate note, it's amazing how much better that 2015 draft looks after the weekend. Zacha looks like hes coming into his own, Blackwood was the NHLs 3rd star and Seney making nice contributions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeControl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Apparently the canucks don't like playing hockey anywhere... only bleak is that they have zero Stanley Cup banners hanging over their home ice...losers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I need the game delayed an extra minute and thirty seconds for an extra national anthem?? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great teammate, for sure. If the math works out (and God willing we find someone to take Cory) I wouldn't mind a KK/MB split going forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
