Even called Blackwood ‘my goaltender’. So it appears things have changed. Fingers crossed. Blackwood obviously has the talent. Let’s just hope he can stay healthy, and get right between the ears. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to have 2 good goalies to be forced to choose between in a couple of years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if anything I could see him giving it the ol college try, and simply realizing that he can’t do it anymore. Sad ending to a nice career. Loved the signing at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming out of the press conference today, no real update. I really can’t see him coming back at 100%. I’d love him to, seemed like a great dude, but the crease is getting crowded Edited July 8, 2022 by Devil Dan 56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Oh I definitely believe there was some bad blood. It wouldn’t be the first time a player and GM have had a riff, and then patched things up. There were certainly enough guys that had issues with Lou over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdgeControl Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Goalies are a total crap shoot.. even the experts can't figure it out. If they have good technique, take a shot at it... kid could very well become a starter. Or bust. But we have to keep trying.. decent hedge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nessus Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 This was a very good trade. Stings a bit that the Caps got Chesley with the pick we traded, but you've got to give something up to get something good in return. In this case, it wasn't a heck of a lot we gave up. I'm still wondering why the Caps made this trade. Vanecek was probably the best goaltender they had, and you'd think they could find a way to keep him. I won't question it. This is huge for the '22-23 season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
