NJDfan1711 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Mac has his haters, and I feel like a lot of it is unwarranted, BUT...I absolutely love that he not only called out the D in his interview for their poor play, but also took accountability himself and mentioned his own issues too.

The guy may not be the next Jesus or Brodeur, but I feel like when we don't completely sh!t the bed in front of him and leave guys wide open, he's MORE than competent to be the clear cut starter for this team. He has his moments where he lets up stinkers, like anyone does, but I still love what the guy brings every single night - he looks poised out there and doesn't get rattled easily, and like I mentioned...HUGE that he takes accountability when he isn't playing his best.

I don't know what else you could ask for. It’s just so tough to properly gauge young goalies. Maybe harder than any other position in sports. You can certainly see a true #1 there many nights, but between a terrible defense in front of him, and his age, there’s just a lot of inconsistency. My only real gripe with him lately has been his rebound control (much better tonight) and his abysmal efforts in shootouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only real gripe with him lately has been his rebound control (much better tonight) and his abysmal efforts in shootouts. Completely agreed, that's why I'm usually a goalie-apologist, because I think they often have the hardest position out there, and with all the things you mentioned (bad defense, his young age, etc), why I'm willing to cut him a little slack and give him a long leesh. I have no idea why Mac seems to suck so bad in shootouts, but it goes back to it being hard because it's essentially you vs the shooter and, although some people think the goalie has the advantage, I definitely think the shooter does - he has the puck and he's the one who gets to make the decision - the goalie has to react (or better yet, anticipate) what's going to happen. Maybe he's over-thinking it too much, who knows. Edited December 9, 2021 by NJDfan1711 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The team looked a lot more solid tonight. Blackwood only had to make a couple of real big saves. It was interesting seeing the Flyers play the way the Devils often do. They seemed to be unsure and making bad decisions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we got the win. Other guys have contributed...Johnsson, Zacha, and Hamilton, for starters...we'd like to see more from Nico of course, but he's managed to put up 12 points in his last 16 GP (I admit it, it doesn't feel like he's done that). Zacha has just two points in his last 10 GP though...that's a bit concerning...not that guys won't slump on occasion, but I guess there's that fear that Zacha might regress again. Bratt now has 19 G and 42 A in his last 82 GP. Pretty sure we'd take that from him going forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Starting to wonder what Bratt's next contract is going to look like - currently producing at a pretty elite level 5v5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
