NJDevils1214 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Sad way to go out. Schneider came here and played out of his mind for years on a team that couldn't give him any defense or goal support. Bad timing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I think at this point it's The only option. Hopefully he bounces back but at this point I don't think an entire team needs to suffer for his struggles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzey Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Feel bad for him but I guess it had to be done. Wonder if it’s going to be sold as a conditioning stint or hrs just straight up an AHLer for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schneider came here and played out of his mind for years on a team that couldn't give him any defense or goal support. Bad timing. Sadly this is the part that too many will forget. There were games where Schneider was just about the only draw. But since his full Age 30 season, he's put up a .904 save%. His career save% before that was .925. It's amazing how far off his play has dropped, especially since he's not that old. He's a little like the goalie version of Gomez and Friesen...their level of play also plummeted while they were still relatively young.

He was sh!t when we were competent. players like Schneider should remind everyone just how spectacular brodeur was. Devils were basically able to pen in Marty for 70+ games going into every season from his Age 23 though Age 37 seasons...he played in 985 regular season games in those years (just those years alone would rank him 3rd all-time for regular season games played by a goalie), and in only one of those years did he miss extended time due to injury. Freakish durability and a freakishly long prime. Really was insane that he was able to be so effective for so long.

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 He has done everything asked of him. I was delighted when Lou picked him up and he showed why in his early days. As others have said it's a a shame that his best stint coincidence with the rest of the team being absolute hot garbage. Really sad way for him to go. Very, very odd timing for this. I am sure all the details will come out in the wash. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Sweet Jesus there are Leafs and Detroit fans on Twitter hoping their teams claim him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Ottawa Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Sad day, but a must for this team to go forward. Unlike others Im not mad at Lou for his current contract, because the guy really was a star at the time. I think his injuries have just become too much to overcome at his age. Big question though, who is our new goalie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the combination of Blackwood's last few games plus Domingue playing decently in the AHL was what solidified it. As everyone else has said, sad ending for Cory. He was a great get at the time and I remember everyone being terrified that he wasn't going to re-sign back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big question though, who is our new goalie? That seems pretty obvious. Its time to see what Mac can do. Unless you mean the backup, which will be Domingue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Ottawa Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Ya, I meant goalie number 2, aka the backup Is Domingue the guy, or is Ray shopping? Edited November 18, 2019 by Rob_Ottawa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 He’s just going down for conditioning. He’ll be back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 What a shame. Really loved watching this guy. Was in the building for the trade with one of my buddies who is a Vancouver fan. I'll never forget the response from the crowd when Bettman started that sentence with "I think you're going to want to hear this." I know how unlikely it is but I really hope he can get a lot of consecutive starts in Bingo and eventually work his way out of this extended slump. Luongo mentioned just how long the recovery is for this type of surgery (2 years) so I'm hanging onto that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The real question to be asking here is who the fvck is taking Jack Hughes' to training and making him food!!!!! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Certainly time to see what Mac can do but to me it's more about Cory showing absolutely nothing day in and day out in practices to give them any kind of hope that he can pick his game up. So put a fork in him was the call. Domingue imo is as good as Mac at this time but I don't think it's a given either one is going to be good enough. Being better than Cory doesn't help in the big picture. For Mac he's going from show us what you got to don't royally fvck this up now that the ball is firmly in your court. The one thing that was abundantly clear for the last couple of years was Cory was effectively done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might not be good enough at the moment, but the assumption is also that Blackwood isn't a finished product yet. Its more than just Mac not messing up. Its also giving Mac a chance to grow without the Cory storyline in the locker room. Domingue is good for that because he'll push Mac a bit but now there's no question who the guy is at the moment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Cormier has also been called to Binghamton. I wonder if that's just to cover until Cory clears waivers or if there really is LTIR in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I think Mac is good enough from a skill standpoint. What worries me is if he has the mental fortitude to be "the guy". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
