Your New Jersey Devils Regular Season Thread: 2022-2023 Edition


Crisis

Recommended Posts

I could use some help. I was hospitalized and at a rehab for 26 days. During that time I only kept track of the scores. Devils are doing great. 

So here is where I need help getting caught up with goaltending. We have two goalies doing well. So what is the deal with Blackwood? Is he ready to come back? Will he be in the rotation? Will Schmid be sent down?

Maybe the Devils haven't made a decision regarding Blackwood. 

Thanks for catching me up on this subject.

My personal opinion here.

Sort of similar with some fans wanting Lindy fired 2 games into the season and eventually got apologies lol Management / ownership do deserve to get some too.

Some fans shat on the owners and management all summer and even the last few years when it came to ads on jerseys. And there was not even ads on jerseys yet lol Those fans were getting upset at something that didn't even happen yet. And now we're 25% into the season and still no ads on jerseys. While most teams around the league does. 

Season started and those specific individuals were still like "well okay there's no ads BUT I'M SURE IN A FEW GAMES THERE WILL BE!" 

Patience is truly a good tool to have. It's fine to whine about stuff, but is it really too much to ask to just at least wait to see if what you're about to whine about is "actually" a thing? lol 

All of the replies to this post are going to suck. 

DAMN IT, I failed.

Hope you are doing ok!

Unfortunately, we don't have any news on that yet. Blackwood has returned to practice but they have not said when he will be ready, nor what they will do with the three goalies once he is. It's all just speculation at this point. It will either be Schmid going down, Blackwood getting traded, or some sequence of events that involves both.

of course they will lol 

But its a great time! We're between games, won our last one. Nothing recently happened to aggravate the fans. So perfect time to simply have that conversation. Then no one can claim that they can say wtv they want cause they are "emotional in the moment, not being rational and just wanting to rant"

i enjoy attempts. at rational conversations lol

I'm guessing Blackwood becomes a trade candidate. He gets broken too often for my liken.  Schmid looked pretty darn good. i would have to say he's ahead of Daws at this point. Brennan might start for Canadian Jr. team over Christmas. Nice to have a lil depth in net developing.  I think there would be some interest in Blackwood.  We could always use another Bastian type? Don't think we have a role guy like him in Utica.

Thing is many of us (and i say us cause i was really one of them) who said the same thing about Nico this summer. And look at him go now. 

When healthy Blackwood can be a really really good goalie. We know that.

Blackwood represents a bit of a reclamation project...which means sure, there will be interest (a bad team looking for a netminder with upside doesn't have much to lose), but teams would be looking to get him for, say, a 4th or 5th round pick.  So it's interest partly because he would come cheap.

That would be monumentally stupid for a playoff bound team to do.

as you said earlier. It's been too pleasant here lately so here i come with trouble.

it's "you're a Vanecek injury away...."

Nothing hits quite as hard as online grammar correction. Unless it’s done by someone for whom English is not their first language. That hits twice as hard lol.

100%

 

Edit: 200%

 

Edit: Online grammar correction from someone whom English is not their first language and used crusty Doritos fingers to do the correction. 

300%

Honest question why do people even keep autocorrect "on"? i always turn that sh!t off.

Especially since im often typing in chiac... which is a mix of french and english and there's a lot of.... made of words and english words... mutated into a french verb. So autocorrect can't handle that sh!t so you have to re-type almost everything so i just go freestyle lol

Honestly, I’m an absolute butcher when I type on my phone and it probably corrects about 75% of my errors. It would be hard to think I was the smartest person in the room if I had 75% more spelling errors in my NJDevs posts.
