Aitchmack Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 22 minutes ago, Devil Dan 56 said: I’m sure Vanecek will also soon be hated. I’ve said before, neither goalies have been impressive but this has been going on a long time with a dozen goalies here. At some point the defensive system needs to be looked at. For example: yes Blackwood gives up some bad rebounds, but why is there never anyone there to clear them? Why is there always an open opponent in front who can capitalize on a rebound? Why on the Frost goal against Philly was there not one, not 2, but 3 people out of position? While I’d like Blackwood and Vanecek to make some tough saves, these are signs of a defensive breakdown or confusion Fitz got rid of the coach of the sh!tty power play and the sh!tty defense but failed to get rid of the sh!tty goalie coach. That guy really should have gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be given a longer rope than the guy who hasn't played well since pre-'Rona. It's Vanecek - with an e, not i. You gotta update your auto correct. It's driving me nuts!

Came across as a dumb diva. The sh!t play on the ice just made it worse. I won't root against him, I hope he does well for us but I don't think that's something that's gonna happen anyway.

It started that exact moment. I think that turned a lot of people on him. Also, doing an autograph signing without at least making it known he wasn’t vaccinated was a dumb move. But I also think people got frustrated with him for his injuries. He was really good in the 2019-20 season. Then he got covid in the 2020-21 season and he admitted his lungs weren’t right until about the end of the season. Then his heel/ankle injury came and didn’t heal properly and with some people he developed a “it’s always something” tag. I think that’s understandable. I honestly still think he can be that guy who had a .915 on a bad team and won more than half his games as a rookie but I’m starting to think it won’t happen here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom - two hands I remember Tom Chorske (during an intermission) being asked to break down a goal he’d scored that period, and he did such a great job that I immediately thought “Damn, that guy should be in TV or radio when he hangs ‘em up, he’s really good at this!” He wound up doing radio color commentary for the Devils in 2006 (he was OK; I thought he was going to be better at it than he was), and now is a hockey analyst for Fox Sports North (they cover the Wild and Gophers…Chorske’s from Minnesota). But he sounded pretty bright the times I heard him interviewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacificDevil Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 If I’m opposing team’s coach it’s so easy to prepare my team to play Devils. Something like this: 1) Just keep the game tight for a bit, they will wilt under pressure, they’ll start running around their D zone and will give us the grade A scoring chances on the silver platter. We won’t even have to work that hard for them just some easy forecheck on the regular basis 2) Their forwards kinda suck too will never be able to score on any semi-decent chances or sustain any offensive pressure all we have to do is pay attention to detail on D and our goalie as long as he’s not literally sleeping will never have any problems seeing any shots since Devils’ forwards are really afraid of coming into the difficult areas. 3) Whatever you do on D you can always keep Siegenthaler open even if you overload one side and let him slide to the slot 4) Tatar is always good for a few giveaways 5) Just be physical against Hughes and Hischier then we’re good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes tons of sense. I agree fully with you about advance stats often being meaningless. but calling, 0-2-0 - Worst start in franchise history lolol sweet lord please help us we started seasons with 6 and 7 losses before. Let's calm down or maybe juste maybe wait til we lose 6-7 in a row to make such a statement? Edited October 18, 2022 by SterioDesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Anaheim has given up a combined 13 goals to the Isles and Rags and scored 5 in those 2 games so if we are gonna get some of the stink off, tomorrow would be a good time to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RizzMB30 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 In the current fantasy league for this board, the guy at the bottom of the league has Jack Campbell as his goalie. Campbell's allowed seven goals on 47 shots across two starts to begin his Edmonton career. Keep things in perspective guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
