Am I the only one that is afraid this will end badly?

[Indian Chief]

Don't get me wrong, I don't put a lot of stock in anything that Yahoo writes. But the idea that this horrible situation is dragging on and on...I'm scared. If I am Schneider, I am counting the days until I can leave this mess. This has to feel like Vancouver all over again for him.

If Cory is that narrow minded then I'm not sure I want him as the goalie of the future. The team gave up a 1st rounder to get him. Short of giving a player an insane contract as a free agent , that's the biggest commitment you can give someone.

It isn't like the situation in Vancouver. They had money and years tied up in Luongo. We have neither invested in Marty.

I'm sure Cory is smart enough to know that he has a solid opportunity here.

 

[irishwhip03]

Plus there is no number 1 goalie here. DeBoer has gone with the hot hand for most of the season.

If Cory shuts out Florida tomorrow then Marty gets rocked in Tampa all of the sudden it's Cory getting the starts again.

I'm sure it's not fun for either guy but the team needs the hot hand in there this time of year

I think its good to have this type of competition. Both goalies know that their next poor or mediocre performance will cost them starts. Marty earned his last few starts.
Team right now is trying to make the playoffs. Coach will put the hot goalie out there. I would hope both understand. No time for feelings at this point of the season.

 

[MCDevils]

I've sort of convinced myself that it's no use worrying until next season starts and he hasn't already signed an extension. 49x7.

 

[MCDevils]

Also, funny thing, if I told you at last years draft that Cory and Bobby Lou would be facing off as the goalies for the Devils and Panthers 9 months later, what would you have said? haha.

 

[CalamityX11]

Cory's last three starts have been below his capability.... I think they want him to start however mix Cory's play of late with urgency to win... The hot hand goes.

What fucking kills me is that the offensive production n defensive effort have been night n day between goalies...

 

[nj_cup]

making the playoffs by playing the "hot" goalie now but at what cost down the line?


also i dont care if marty is riding a 10 game win streak going into the playoffs. you start cory and you ride him. we got lucky that fluke goal against the flyers didn't demoralize this team like it usually does. have to worry about that happening every game in a 7 game set? no thanks!

 

[rp2five]

If I had to guess now, I would say Cory will be the starter if this team made the playoffs. But like Calamity mentioned, his last few starts were below what we should expect from a starting goalie and goalie of the future. We know what he is capable of and seen it most of the season. I am sure he will bounce back but if has a bad game tonight, and Marty keeps winning, he doesn't deserve to start.

If this team makes the playoffs, you have 2 goalies who are both capable of being number 1s. I am not saying they should be rotated, but if Cory has a horrible game 1, you start Marty in 2. At least if I am coach.

 

[nj_cup]

i would give marty the shorter leash his stats are worse and you know he likes giving up softies.

marty has 1 bad game he gets the hook. cory needs to have 2 bad games before he gets the hook

 

[Indian Chief]

All excellent points.

I guess what I see in Schneider is a player that is 28 years old in a few days. He has shown the capability of being one of the best goalies in the league. However, without a chance to show that, I doubt he gets top goalie money. A team might give him good goalie money, but there is a difference. I don't think he would be narrow minded to want the best for his future.

I also cannot believe that playing once a week keeps you on top of your game, no matter how hard you practice and how professional you are.

 

[nj_cup]

Yeah this whole "hot" goalie stuff is crap. Marty in his prime went through bad games what's he get? He ends up playing in 70 games a season we get first round boots. If you want to give Corey #1 title then play him like one. He should've been innenet the next game after the wings loss. It says you have confidence in him and that hes your go to guy.

 

[CalamityX11]

Light n day production..... Its unfair

 

[rp2five]

Not totally Corys fault but at same time, franchise future number 1 goalie steals a game against the panthers, no?
Fayne with the dumbass play of the game tonight.

Yes I'm 50/50 on it not totally on Cory... Elias n fayne with the two major f ups...

 

[SJ20]

PDB is a major tool, but Cory should shut his yap and have some fucking respect. As was already stated, he knows Marty might play one more season, at best. And he knows the Devils don't have a goalie of the future aside from himself. Just shut up and play for now. We don't need this crap while the team is trying to make the playoffs.

 

[CalamityX11]

Cory put the loss on himself.. Not that it helps but he owns it as usual

 

[nj_cup]

I agree with Corey that was on him. Gotta make a big save. Can't recall I remember Marty taking the blame. Bad ice at winter classic and I remember one other time that sticks out I think pdb first year he said he wishes we go back to a more defensive system lol

 

[CalamityX11]

Gelinas needs to return....
