Again this is totally confirmation bias or whatever, but it sure seems like we run into hot goalies pretty frequently.

While we can't buy a save, even from VV at times.

Playing Vasy 3 times in a week + .930 goalie for this season over the last week does that. Their finishing has gotten better lately. Just seems like they haven't gotten either goaltending + finishing for a long time like they were at certain points this year. It happens though, ebbs and flows of a season.

Miami
This is starting to remind me a bit of the ‘06 Rangers. Surprise team that stuttered down the stretch that ultimately got passed and swept by their rival.

I think Blackwood will sign a random team that's probably going to be a top 5 pick contender to revive his career, similar to what Mzarek did with Chicago this year.
Mrazek didn't sign with Chicago though lol.

Dubas signed him to a 3 year deal because he had a good season of TWELVE games with Carolina the year before, which came after almost nothing but bad seasons since 16-17.

Chicago bailed him outta that one.

Blackwood getting outplayed by a minor league journeyman who has only played 55 games in like 5 years.

So? We shouldn't have 3 GA tonight. Gross.

Should be 3-1, but it happens. Tied + winnable game at home should be the message for the third. I'm sure Ottawa will have the same message, probably even more so with their slim playoff hopes + coming back down 3-1.

Ah ok fair enough, but a situation similar to that will probably happen to Blackwood.

You can't expect a shutout

But god damn can you not allow 3 on 16?

He don't get the benefit of the doubt with how many bad years he's had. This isn't one of those ''Goalie's just not having a great game'' this is very common with this piece of shit.
I could say he’s let in 4 on 17 with that overturned offside goal. His rebound control is atrocious (easy saves become an adventure), his positing is bad and he stinks at tracking the puck. I know it’s a limited sample size but Schmid is considerably better. I feel way more relaxed when he’s in goal, maybe because HE is relaxed. It’s the polar opposite with this clown. I’m so over it.
