GDT: Spidey Says, "Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack, Quack Mr. Ducksworth!" Devils @ Ducks, 9 PM, MSG+

There is a fine line between genius and stupid.

Let’s circle back to this after the game when we see how it plays out. Not a smart decision imo.

If we win will you be around to circle back to it?

 

[newjerseydamo]

Bratt should stay in. He had a good game against the Kings.
Stafford should be riding the press box the rest of season.

 

[JimEIV]

Huge news. No confidence in Schneider by the coaches.

Nah. Just giving Keith the opportunity to keep the shut out going.

 

[BenedictGomez]

I would love for Skeletor to please explain what he seems to think he gains from playing Stafford over Bratt.

At least Bratt occasionally does something good.

 

[NJDevs26]

If they lose, they will go Cory vs Sharks. If they win, keep riding Kinkaid.

Makes sense.

If they lose 5-3 yeah. If they lose 2-1 they're starting Kinkaid. This shows how little confidence they have in Cory.

Win or lose, I still think this is the right decision.

Will be interesting to look back on these threads in the future and see how hilarious it is that people thought Kinkaid was better than Schneider because he had a hot stretch of games. I get riding Kinkaid while he still has the hot hand, but to do it on back to backs against good teams is not the best idea.

It's kinda useless having Bratt on the 4th line.

Kinkaid is better than Schneider right now, it's not even a debate. The vast majority of people on this board are not claiming that Kinkaid is a star goalie and much better than Schneider overall.

No, I will hide in shame from hf boards.

What if Cory is Cristobal Huet'ed out of the league in a couple years?

Kinkaid is hotter than Schneider, yes. He is not better than Schneider. He still has worse numbers on the season.

totally fine w bratt being out

I don't know how many people actually think Keith is a better goaltender. He's playing much better at the moment though and has earned all of the playing time he's getting over Cory.

 

[MartyOwns]

this isn’t a game where bratt will be useful. i’m ok with that. i still would’ve started schneider, but f*** it. let’s just get another win

What about against Nashville and LA?

 

[NJDevs26]

Kinkaid is hotter than Schneider, yes. He is not better than Schneider. He still has worse numbers on the season.

Honestly I'm not so sure about that anymore. It's been two years of them having similar numbers, KK even being slightly better (albeit in half the starts).

 

[BenedictGomez]

It's kinda useless having Bratt on the 4th line.

It's more useless having Stafford in the lineup.

He's essentially proved to be the definition of useless, yet near 70 games into the season, he's somehow still a starter.

I mean I agree but it's not like Bratt would be all that useful on the fourth line either, or that they'd bump Noesen down for Bratt not playing well.

 

[JimEIV]

My guess, he would say something like this, "Anaheim is a heavy team on the boards with an aggressive forcheck and we think Drew is better suited for that style"

I totally agree with you, but Stafford is better suited to play on the 4th line then Bratt

Kinkaid is hotter than Schneider, yes. He is not better than Schneider. He still has worse numbers on the season.

Barely.

Schneider - 17-14 record, 2.81 GAA, .912 SV%
Kinkaid - 19-9 record, 2.85 GAA, .909 SV%

Kinkaid is on a 9-2 stretch with a 2.15 GAA and .935 SV% right now though, which is a better run than Schneider has had at any point this season. It's obvious that Kinkaid is the starter down the stretch until proven otherwise.

It would be nice to have beat reporters who actually held Hynes accountable for things like this.

It's not like Cory is blowing Kinkaid out of the water lol
