But regardless, if Blackwood was even playing at 1980’s backup goalie level this would have been a win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs64 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) The more I watch that Pasta's goal replay, the more I wonder wtf was Smith trying to do. Pasta just moved around him like Smith was a piece of furniture. Take the body...do something. Edited January 5, 2022 by Devs64 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah this was right at 1980's backup goalie level...two or three soft goals in a game, five total allowed.

Three softies, it's just too hard to overcome. I mean the last one was deflected off Mercer’s leg, those are hard to stop. But given his track record tonight… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough to see him play so badly. I don't think he's better than any NHL starting goalie right now. He's definitely in the bottom quarter.

And it always ends badly after a relatively short amount of time with him. Players can only take him for so long. It’s been the case at every every single stop. But hey, if you guys are clamoring for an old school coach that will bench skills guys like Jack and Bratt in favor of his favorite plugs, then he’s your guy!

Nicomo Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Btw Blackwood is now at .895 sv %. He’s approaching Keith Kinkaid’s last year in NJ level bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s not good. I do believe he can improve upon it, but the last two games he’s going on the opposite direction with these gaffes.

Regarding Tortorella, I think he should be considered. More often than not, he got his good players to play consistently well. He helped make Vincent Lecavalier a better player. Things were pretty rocky between the two of them in the beginning. Tortorella benched him for poor defensive play. You want a coach who's not afraid to do that. And you can't be afraid that a tough coach is going to break Jack Hughes or Jesper Bratt like they're china or something. Lecavalier and the Lightning is just one example. In Columbus, Atkinson and others bought into Tortorella's style. And they had success, certainly more than what we've had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I still want Jim Montgomery. He won a national championship at Denver, so you know he can effectively coach players around the age of our core. And he was doing a great job in Dallas before his personal issues came out. If all that stuff is beyond him he’d be my first choice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpathianForest Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 What goalies are out there that we could perhaps get? One goalie and another D Man so Smith can be sent down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
