Devils team discussion (news, notes and speculation) - season begins!

[Bad Goalie]

HockeyDB.

It would have to be from today as he played both Friday and Saturday. He was recalled and re assigned the same day in a paper game a couple days ago along with others for NJ financial reasons.
I just checked AHL.com and HockeyDB and he doesn't appear in either transaction yesterday or today. Maybe a mistake somewhere that's already been corrected. Nothing mentioned in Utica either.

I'm pretty confident that Simon is still in Utica with the Comets today.

I said this in the GDT but Allen’s setups are super sexy.

The masks are simple but they are recognizable and clean. I thought the home mask was great but he out did himself with the away mask.

Contrast: I love the idea of Markstrom’s mask but it doesn’t translate at a distance. I prefer his Devil Skull mask but he wore it once? (Probably a loss, to be fare)

Ironically, minus one game, I feel like Allen has also outplayed Markstrom (who isn’t playing bad). Allen was also the best goalie last season.

It was actually Kahkonen who was the best goalie last season. Did you not see all 4 of his games?

And we let him slip through our fingers.

As did the Avalanche, who dumped him back on waivers after picking him up in Oct.

As are the Jets, who are using Comrie as their back-up while Kahkonen is in the AHL.

Just stunning how every NHL organization is dumber than one very indignant HFBoards poster.
