I checked out the Kings GDT to see what they’re saying about Petersen. One guy said he’s stopped watching games that Petersen starts lol.

Most are irate with him, and shredding Blake for giving him that contract. Most are fed up with his play behind the net.

But there are a couple “We have the worst defense in the league, if not in the history of hockey and peak Patrick Roy would get smoked behind this time” type of comments.

The Patrick Roy one was actually a real comment. I kind of paraphrased it a bit.

Lmao, they're 5th in even strength shots against. It's their goaltending.

Definitely. This game was all on goaltending.

Jim Fox is still going on about it. He keeps saying “The big save doesn’t help you as much as the bad goals hurt you”. He’s said this about 4 or 5 times since that goal was scored. He keeps trying to disregard that big save Petersen made right before the Kings tied it. The other guys are so impressed with it though.

The big save Petersen made was only because he was so terribly out of position. That shot and the would-be game winner were the only shots the Rangers had for like the first half of that period.

can’t believe Petersen has that contract either. That was just a massive mistake by Rob Blake. And not because he’s underperforming but because he didn’t show enough to really get that kind of a deal. He only had 50 starts and 54 NHL games before getting that deal. And he only had one year of a significant number of games played in the league before that. He did alright that year. Nothing too great, but decent and considerably better than Quick.

But can you imagine giving Blackwood $5 million a year after his first two years? Because that’s kind of what it would be like.

I am not quite sure why the NHL doesn't schedule American teams to play on Thanksgiving. I wouldn't mind seeing a noon time matchup with two Metro teams that are in close proximity. A Rag-Isle game or a Devil-Flyer game would be nice, and you could still make it home for turkey dinner.

I don't think the NHL really wants to go up against the NFL tripleheader ratings-wise or in terms of attention on Thanksgiving.

They used to, but now that the NFL schedules three games they stopped. Have a memory of watching Devils-Coyotes on ESPN2 at my grandmother's, what a barnburner.

Yeah, it's sad to say, but the NFL could have programmed the Jaguars and Texans playing in some dilapidated former high school stadium in the middle of a New Mexico desert, and half the friggin' TV-viewing public would tune in. No way the NHL wants to compete with that, nobody does.

I admit that at this point I don't get the nation's viewing habits vis a vis the NFL; have felt for a good while now that their product just isn't that good, outside of the occasional matchups between teams like current Buffalo and Kansas City or what have you. Hell, as a baseball and hockey fan I can't understand getting that excited for a league where you get a single game to pick apart for an entire week while you wait for the next one, but I'm probably the bigger psychopath given how many Mets and Devils games I watch compared to the average, well-adjusted human being.

That said, I'm still happy to follow the goings on in the NFL via UrinatingTree videos. The Tree reverse jinx lived on this year: he spent the last couple of seasons predicting the Devils might make the playoffs or otherwise progress and they fell flat on their faces; this year he said he can't give them the benefit of the doubt and thinks it'll be more pain and...here we are!

That, and I thought it was also written into the CBA that they couldn't schedule games on Thanksgiving? Maybe that was something from the previous CBA.

You have no idea how much joy you shitting all over Cal "I'm too good to play for the Sabres" Petersen is bringing me right now.
Click to expand...
I actually forgot he was drafted by the Sabres

I remember when he first debuted in the NHL in 2018-2019. I remember thinking he looked pretty good and I even went to the Kings board to ask about him. They were all excited for him to be the goalie of the future. They still had Jack Campbell at that time.

I clearly remember this being before Blackwood even debuted in the NHL (he would shortly after) and just being really disillusioned with the Schneidkaid (Schneider/Kinkaid) tandem we were icing.

Clearly, Rob Blake was even more enamored with him than I was, as he gave him a $5 million dollar deal after around 50 games and he was ALREADY 27 year old!

I think I ran his numbers wrong last night. He's actually an .891% since the start of last season. Quick has been bad for years now, with the exception of last season, where he had his best season in 4 years and significantly outplayed Petersen behind the same exact team.

That's actually for Christmas, as well as Christmas Eve and the day after. Although, I do remember a couple of times it was the 23rd, 24th and 25th and not the 24th, 25th and 26th. Teams aren't even allowed to have team sanctioned practices or travel those days. The Flyers were fined one year for flying out on the night of the 26th. Teams literally have to fly the morning of for out of town games scheduled on the first day after the Christmas break.

There's usually been a game or two on Thanksgiving, but it's usually been Canadian teams hosting. since it's not a holiday there.

Teams are practicing on Thanksgiving and flying out for the Friday games.

Ducks up 3-1 in the 2nd. Have yet to win a game in regulation. Do we have any hope they can hold on and do that tonight?
Click to expand...
Probably not, no.

But they have to win in regulation at some point. And Halak is in, he’s clearly the inferior goalie in this matchup. It’s not often Gibson is the sexiest goalie in a game.

By the way, that Kulikov goal on Halak has gotta be softy of the night. I’m just about caught up on all the goals that have happened too.

And offff, the Troy Terry goal sucked too. Brian Hayward said he needs to make that stop.

Halak just looks old and bad. Just absolutely washed.

We all know Gibson can do a “Hold my beer Jaro” though.

Halak looks like expired garbage. Can we face him Monday?:)

Gibson just needs a change of scenery. Been on a bad team for way too long. Like Luongo with the Islanders and Florida.

Ehh, it could help him, but I just think he’s cooked.

Luongo was actually really good on the Panthers, but the Panthers were just really bad. and he wasn’t dreadful with the Islanders, but didn’t play a whole lot of games there either.

His contract is pretty untradeable too.

I don’t trust Gibson here.

Both goals on him tonight were not good.

The Goodrow goal was seriously maybe the softest breakaway goal I’ve seen since Kucherov’s on Jon Gillies last year.

He was really pissed after he allowed it too.

Halak might give the Ducks a good chance though. He has up to this point.
