there are posters adamant on here that Blackwood is far and away better than Vitek

That kind of thinking just blows my mind
‘Higher upside’ is the commonly used term and I think the organization still believes that too, don’t shoot the messenger

There's also at least one that's visibly absent tonight since he isn't playing.

It's a joke that he's gotten 55% of the starts in games he's been dressed for.
Just bring up Schmid and let's get the team going again
Unfortunately, he's been struggling in the AHL.

At the very least, Blackwood needs to be a Johan Hedberg backup that plays sometimes, but not often.

He really should be a Chris Terreri 2.0, Cory Schwab, Scott Clemmensen 1.0, Yann Danis type of backup. But I understand we don't have Marty here to play over 70 games.

It's crazy because they're two completely different goalies, Blackwood relies on all athleticism where Vanecek is all technique. Makes you wonder if management wanted that combo in net and wanted to mix/match depending on how they team was playing.
