I was surprised he didn’t start Tuesday because of the back-to-back. As long as Daws is playing well, he should be the first option in net, but I agree that getting Schmid a start or two makes sense, especially if Vanecek is out for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've liked him and he's been good back there most of the time. I don't see Daws as much better than Vanecek. He's one bad game away from having Vanecek numbers. I've always been an advocate of goaltender numbers are just reflections of the team in front. The GSAA advanced stats are pretty good for trying to reliably represent the individual goaltender performance. I would argue that since this little system adjustment, we've seen better play out of VV and Daws as a result and I think Schmid could really run away with another shot.

He’s stopped 59 of 62 shots faced the last three games. I’d ride him until he stops stopping the puck at that rate. Schmid will get another shot, don’t you worry.

CGY was a VV stinker, but if you remove that game he's playing near the same level right now. Those numbers support my theory that the tendies are getting some help from the adjustments.

The defensive tweaks have definitely helped, no question. I think if Daws plays well again tonight, he’ll get the SS game on Saturday. After that, we’ll see.

Daws has had good games and not-so-good games. The last two were good (60 shots and 57 saves)...the three before that, not so much (.836 save%). But those came before the break, and the Devils appear to be actually giving their goalies a chance now, so maybe Daws can get a little something going. Even though the goalies overall haven't been great this year, yeah, I don't see how many could've possibly flourished given the Devils' play in their own end. At the very least, I wanted to see VV/Schmid/Daws get a lot more support. Looks like that might actually be starting to happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always believed that the Devils goalies are average at worse and that the system sucked. Looking at the small sample since the All-star game, I believe we will see at least average goaltending if they continue to buy-in in the system. Edited February 15 by Puckbuster Edit: and we will see above average goal scoring. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VV has definitely not helped at times but I felt that he should be capable of average play...in the regular season, anyway; that's pretty much what he'd been coming into this season. When some people say that they could see that VV was going to be bad this year, I didn't think that made much sense. He's not blameless but yeah, I don't think the team was doing ANY of their goalies any real favors for most of the season, until recently. Playoff VV...relatively small samples, but yeah, not going to pretend that I won't be concerned about him. Hopefully the Devils fight their way into the playoffs to begin with. As we know, they're in the hunt, but it won't be easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to run the guy who is just coming off hip surgery into the ground with a 3rd game in 4 days, no matter how good the numbers are. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad idea, but Daws was in the starter’s net this morning so it sounds like he’s going tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Devils are well aware of managing Daws' workload and if there was anything resembling pain or fatigue, that he would be rested accordingly. After Saturday, Devils play Caps on Tues. That's a perfect game to work Schmid back in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took until February when we all could see the change was needed back in November. I’m sure Lindy’s arm had to be twisted and twisted and twisted. He doesn’t get credit in my book. In other words, fvck him. This. LGD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGD! I’m actually very confident. The new system allows Smith and Miller, along with the rest of the team, to play a heavier style of play in their own zone. That is what they needed.

ButlerBulldog Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Nice to see the Lazar line get the start after their play in the third period Tuesday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 But where do you put him? You can't really move any of those other wingers to the 4th line? Maybe Lazar to the 4th line C then you're moving Mercer and Nosek out of their positions. As long as the front office isn't planning on trading him for his poor production, he's the guy that can wait for a spot up front to open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I want him to play with better players, at this moment with bodies back from injuries he is kinda stuck on the 4th unless he got lindy some good worthers for valentines day.
