Yeah, I hate that shit. Totally different kind of situation, but they coo and fawn when a goalie deliberately knocks the goal off it's pegs too. "Smart move by a savvy veteran" f*** you, just call it what it is, cheating.

Good thing it was Nico and not Watsons girlfriend or else we may have seen a full windup two hand chop to the face with the stick...

God I hate those losers. But when Kreider scored 50 off of his dick last year + Shesty acting like 1999 Hasek they thought they were cup bound. I can't wait to beat the everliving shit out of them in 2 weeks.

Funniest part is the Rangers have seen more backups than us this year. We saw Francouz/Ned x2 when they got Connor Ingram, Wedgewood (after Otter got hurt), Tarasov and Ned. That post just made me insanely angry for no reason, lmao.

I thought maybe this was RangerDoggo, but this is actually one of the most Devils Dominion posts I've seen since the real Devils Dominion was last seen.
The idea that guys don't get up to play in Newark like they do on Broadway is some weird ''Pete lets his guys slack off and no-show against Philthy/Rags/NYb, as long as they'll come ready to play and beat us in Newark the next game, because Pete will have them ready to play and Pete just refuses to lose to the NJD'' type of stuff.
Oh god, I just checked their thread and the same page that has this post also has someone wondering what the big deal was with Kyle Beach and was it really so bad what the Blackhawks did?
Classy bunch over there.
(okay yes, there were some people pushing back on that poster)

That guy 88Claws Up had a tweet : "I was Hacked" then he apparently deleted it. LOL!!

@billingtons ghost , your thoughts?
I mean seriously, Akira is fast making Blackwood expendable here (if Blackwood isn't already).

Well I hope opposing teams take that same approach in the Playoffs.

Schmid's nice start to this year really doesn't mean he's great, as we saw Blackwood have like 2 shutouts in his first 4 or 5 starts (or it was something like that?) in the NHL. We also saw Keith Kinkaid have his hot streaks.
But his AHL play is much stronger than anything Blackwood (or Kinkaid) ever did in the AHL, as is Daws AHL career to date.
And Vanecek's play this year should really put to bed any goalie questions.
The organization still believes in Blackwood because of a run he had like the one Vanecek is currently on since his second game of the season. Granted, Blackwood's run of play like that probably went on for 25 games, but that was just about 3 years ago.
You don't have to be a particularly good goalie to be better or even ''As good'' as Blackwood is in 2022.

Don’t have a problem with that. It was in response to someone saying they haven’t seen anything that bad
Crosschecks away from the play like that happen every single game man. Such a homer overreaction. It was a stinger but Nico’s fine. That’s all it is 99% of the time. It wasn’t that hard and he wasn’t taking a run up to it like you’re suggesting.
You’d like those to get called but they rarely do and they certainly never result in suspensions. They also don’t lead to serious injuries. Just bumps and bruises.
I promise that once we get to playoffs that’s gonna be happening almost every shift.

This makes me believe he has some trade value in the league. There's always a desperate GM that's willing to take a gamble on a past hot streak. We see it over and over. The problem is even good goaltenders don't go for all that much, but it gives me hope that Blackwood isn't an un-dumpable cap anchor.
As for Schmid, I love how he's playing, but it's an AWFULLY small sample right now. It certainly gives me hope though.

And let’s not lift posts from other boards, people have the right to be ignorant and homeristic on their own board. And if (rather when) anyone is that stupid on the main board leave the dunking on them for there.

I don't think he has value at all
BUT
Because of his past hot streak and the fact that he's still kind of young, on top of the fact that all these old, junk, has-been goalies like Anderson, Elliott, Jones, etc, all still get signed, I think someone will sign him after this year if we don't. Just like Samsonov with Toronto.
I think if he were waived somebody would bite, as he's on an expiring contract. I think if teams have it on good faith that we will not be re-signing him and they really want him, they'll just wait for him to become a UFA next summer and sign him for $1.5 or something, rather than have to qualify him at $3 million for next year.

I thought Akira had a good game. Looked shaky as hell on the one goal - playing the pass instead of the shot because he doesn't trust our defense... which is pretty much par for all of our goaltenders who had previously seen our defense the past five years or so.@billingtons ghost , your thoughts?
I mean seriously, Akira is fast making Blackwood expendable here (if Blackwood isn't already).
I know folks are worried about Wood at $4.5 or Blackwood at $3.5 but I think the only one we need to worry about is Damon Severson at anything above Marino's contract.
Remember when we thought he was good defensively and his lifetime -131 was actually just a victim of being on a bad team? He's actually a -1 this year on this frigging juggernaut where Siegs is +15 playing against top lines. With three points.
Giving Severson $5m+ might be a worse move than Wood or Blackwood.
and yeah, I completely agree with the sentiment that if Schmid continues to play well there isn't any reason in the world we should sign Blackwood at all.
