I’m really liking both Bahl and Okhotiuk.

Don’t underestimate Hammonds ability to F things up

 

[Devs3cups]

When you’re getting BADLY outplayed by Craig Anderson, you’re down catastrophically.

1.94 xGA. 4 GA.

2.52 xGF. 2 GF.

Mired

 

[McDuffz88]

Look what happens when you don't play Ty Smith.

He's doing a great job commanding the tank.

We have good LHD and LHD prospects coming out of our ass

 

[Devs3cups]

Hammond is back to normal.

 

[Bleedred]

It's a small sample size but I think Hammond's ugliest games are the ugliest we have seen from a goalie. His best games are better then Gilles but his worst are as bad, if not worse.

Gilles I constantly ask to just make a save. Hammond I have been asking "how did you let that in?!?"

Dude is letting in some insane stinkers

We've had some BAD ones go in the net this year, but that first goal is a top-5 softy of the year in the entire league and I think that safely beats out Bellamare's goal on Gillies from February for softest goal against the Devils this year.

And the second goal was probably softy of the night caliber if not for the his softy of the year candidate about 30 seconds before that.

Even though it was a rebound, he had a good chance to shut that down on the second try. That was like Boqvist on Lehner bad.

 

[Camille the Eel]

There hasn’t been a good goal against Hammond yet. All 4 have been mistakes. He made some tough stops but it’s like lack of concentration or something that’s cost him 4 times. Flukey plays okay but easy stops if you are focused at those moments, I would have thought.

A short handed goal from above the blue line is just next level bad.

A peewee goalie is stopping that

 

[Emperoreddy]

I take it back because I watched the replay. A shooter tutor DOES stop the first goal.

He should never play another NHL minute again on that goal alone

 

[njdevils1982]

somebody.......hit the f***ing net ....this is maddening

how many high and wide shots tonight?

 

[MasterofGrond]

boy, I could've stopped that first goal and my goalie experience is limited to maybe 8 combined periods across several collegiate floor hockey games

I thought the third goal was kind of not really a bad one, but maybe it was?

 

[VoidCreature]

At least with the shooter tutor you know which kinds of shots you have to prevent.

 

[None Shall Pass]

Show me a goalie that hasn't let in an absolute whopper like Hammond's first and I'll show you someone who has never actually played goal. Happens to the best of them.

 

[Hisch13r]

What a shift for Graves lol

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Dude injuries are a major cause for poor play. It's been happening since sports were invented.

These guys aren't robots. Just don't just shove a slurry down his throat and he is simply fine and dandy

It’s been 27 games. If we were talking about the first 5-10 games sure. But for his injury with the time he missed it is not a good excuse for poor play after 27 games.

 

[McDuffz88]

Its literally all of our players. Only ones to hit net is Bahl and Okhotiuk

I wanna say this is his Swan Song in the NHL, but he'll probably play a game this weekend.

It's just a question of if it's Blackwood and Hammond splitting or maybe Gillies and Hammond splitting.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Ryan Graves can go too. He is not very good. Big, but not very good.

Hammond doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Eggtimer]

At least Hammond shows flashes of NHL capable goaltending . Guy hasn’t played in the NHL for long stretches , of course he is going to be inconsistent. I’m not saying he isn’t garbage , but we are being a tad hard on him all things considered . Yes he has let in a bunch of shit goals but he had in a handful of NHL games this year and was injured . I doubt he will ever play in the NHL again though due to his recent play ( and rightfully so ) but he wasn’t really out in a great spot though . Rusty plus not that good = disaster . If he had a full training camp and wasn’t rusty id day he would at least be somewhat respectable and a borderline backup ( but not quite good enough ) instead of being garbage

 

[Blender]

We're getting 1980s level goaltending against 2022 level shooters.
