I dont get this line of thinking from some of you lol

making a good save doesnt cancel out missing on an easily stoppable goal

It has nothing to do with Daws making simple saves, the team in front looks like dogshit and getting utterly caved in. He got them to the first 0-0 and they still looked like shit after a possible reset.
 
I get we’re down like 3 of our best 5 players theoretically

But it really looks like everybody is checked out. You gotta work harder when you are missing pieces!
There is no amount of work or running around that makes the defensive zone or breakout work.

Vancouver has a good pre-scout. They’re keeping by 4 or 5 guys in the zone even after the Devils recover the puck so the. Breakout is very hard.

Vancouver also rims the puck to the weak side defender whenever there is trouble which keeps possession and forces the devils to skate themselves tired.

yes the team looks like shit

the third goal was also shit goaltending

why cant both be true?
 
They should really go back to the melty skate logo.

That whale thing is terrible.

I understand wanting to incorporate the whale and the "C" but that thing is not good.
 
Lol see people already among the goalie even though it’s plainly obvious that the skaters are complete trash.

Yeah the scheme isn’t working

But we’re also losing every 50/50 puck battle. We can’t get the puck back to even try and breakout
 
the third goal was abhorrent goaltending

sorry the truth hurts
We can agree to disagree; I dont think someone calm about the matter would ever say such a thing

Daws has seen 26 shots in 25 minutes and the team has given their worst effort since drafting Nico; its almost a sad copout to insinuate this is on Daws

Devils end up in a lot of those battles taking a bad angle because they start so many from the center of the ice but Vancouver starts from along the boards and closer to the puck.

Devils probably aren’t a great board battle team so a scheme designed around board battles is probably not a good idea.
