I feel bad for Hall. Guy is doing all he can, the team is just anemic.
Good thing he's already counting down the days left on his contract...

I don't think he's ever going to be a top 6 forward. He's 24 and hasn't shown that kind of offensive promise. He's quick enough and strong enough to possible be a 4th liner at this level though, with an unlikely homerun being a 3rd liner.
I think 4th line NHL forward is his ceiling.
Coleman's ceiling is occasional NHL call up.
Bad effort overall. Only really were pressing for about half the game.
Tripp literally just compared this game to Game 7 in 2009. Tripp in troll mode for sure.
Goals like tonight's third goal, among many others, are why Cory's save percentage is so low this season. Not because guys didn't ''Box out'' or were caught out position or the defense sucked or whatever other excuses there are. Those goals where guys don't box out would have gotten scored anyway.
It's not like he didn't ever allow these kinds of goals in the past, it just wasn't at the frequency of this year.
S hero has a busy summer ahead
I was going to say that goal was the epitome of this season.
Bad goal for Schneider? Yeah. But it was the result of how poor this team is defensively.
3 guys around Aho and not one bothers taking the body.

Yeah. A "stoppable" goal sure, but zero excuse to let him even get a shot off there.

Awful effort by 14 on that one. Everyone really, but particularly 14.
Body or the stick.
Just look at the way Carolina defended the whole game to the way Devils defended.
Night and day.
Coleman was worse actually. He had the puck, then put it right off Aho's skate and Aho shot it past Cory. And Moore just kind of stood there, lost as usual.
Coleman is a very bad defensive player.
He's Hynes new Fiddler/Kalinin replacement. Not quite in the 70% defensive zone start range, but around 62%, so that tells me Hynes thinks he's got potential to be a shutdown guy.
He's failing miserably and his PK work is beyond suspect.
The porous d this team has played has hurt both goalies this year. Cory just simply sucked by his standards, no other way to put it. Kinkaid overall improvement, but some clunkers in there. If the d doesn't improve next yr, the goalies will suffer the same fate as this seasonI think whether that goal was scored or not, we probably weren't coming back and tying. Team looked deflated after the second goal, which was not a bad one on Cory but was a brutal one on Greene.
So it's not like that goal cost the team the game or anything, just pointing out that these are the kinds of goals that lead to Cory having a deflated save percentage on the year and they've happened at a more frequent rate than last year. I think it's fair to say he's checked out, but maybe not. He played very well and stole the game against the Rangers.
Kinkaid let in two bad goals the other night too, I wouldn't discount there being another one or more tomorrow from him, since his play has gone downhill since Hynes decided to make him the 1b goalie and give him 3 starts a week.
Oh wow that shot of Schneider on the bench. He is not a happy camper.
