Wow Ruff swapped goalies. Blackwood needs to go. Ruff is starting to pull the same shit from last season and we are starting to look like that team.

In slow-mo that 2nd goal on Blackwood is so horrible :laugh:

Any normal goalie with a brain wouldve just paddled the puck out of the crease. Our Hero in net needed again the extra 0.5sec to locate the puck and understand what was happening.

So glad we are not too invested into this season. We can forget making a playoff push if we have Vitek/Blackwood as our starting goalie. Fitz has had the goalie issue in his lap for years, he needs to resolve it somehow.

Thank got Vitek is in the net for 3rd. Kinda hoping he plays like shit too so Fitz really understands that neither of these guys are a long-term solution.
Vitek is signed for two more years, you better hope he plays well because they aren't junking him till at least the end of next year. He should be at least a good 1B, Blackwood is the guy that they counted on to be their 1A.

Yes, and maybe if most of Blackwood's body of work wasn't inconsistent at best and straight up trash at worst, people might be willing to cut him some more slack.
Yep, VV was bad Tuesday and has regressed a bit, but he was very good before that. Blackwood has a track record of being bad and it seems like the organization is tryinto to force feed him.

Which makes no f***ing sense because he tanked last year with his selfishness and awful play.

vanecek is what he is. A league average-ish goaltender.

I'd sacrifice untold chickens to whatever deity demanded it for blackwood to be that good.

devils desperately need a goalie who knows how to play the puck and has great situational awareness.

We should be in a better position than we are. 2 GAx for Mac tonight, so guess he's back to even after the Florida game? Dude can't string 2 good outings together.

I don't agree with pulling him at all.

Let him lay in his worthless, disgusting, FECES all night.

The only way I accept this pull is if Ruff comes out and says ''Yeah, I pulled him. I also heard Vitek chants in the crowd, so I'm giving those people what they want. He SUCKS. HE STUNK! He didn't give us enough saves. He never gives us enough saves. You're never gonna see the motherf***in bastard again, at least not in our NHL team's jersey. He won't play another god damn second here, so I shut him down one period early to save you the trouble of getting another look at him and put it out its misery before. Good night everybody, have a merry f***in Christmas and enjoy the rest of the Hanukkah season! The organization is gonna give you a LOVELY PRESENT AFTER THE FREEZE!''

And drop the motherf***in mic.

But we know he ain't gonna do that.

So f*** this pull.

Vitek was excellent to start they year and has struggled of late. He’s a .908 goalie this year, was a .908 goalie last year, and a .908 goalie the year before. That’s fine.

You just can't score 1 goal a game. Boston has 4 f***ing regulation losses in 32 games. 126 GF. You need to score goals.
