I do not understand this Devils team but I thought Schmid and Vanecek just needed a little more time to figure things out. Not anymore, they need a goaltender yesterday

They need to make other changes too. This version of the team isn't working.

They for sure have defensive lapses and a top heavy offense, it's not JUST goaltending, but honestly, it's mostly goaltending. Yes they have defensive lapses but 90% of them wind up in the back of the net

OT is broken, don’t care what they do (shot clock, half court) just something other then 4:30 of slow skating around in circles and then a couple of chances in the last bit.

Delay of game penalty for bringing it out of the attacking zone?

Could always go back to 4 on 4, it was fine :shrug:

Like I don't think trying 3 on 3 was a bad idea, but now that teams have long figured out the optimal strategy is maintaining possession, it's boring. I'd rather they go back to the thing that worked than keep adding weird rules that make it less like hockey (in that case they could just skip to the shootout)

I think that's too much, half ice I could agree to though

I think the simplest change would be to swap ends, that way when teams curl back to their own blue line, it’s a lot easier for the team without the puck to change. That would mostly remove the just tire then out for 2 minutes strategy. Casual viewers wouldn’t even notice the change, no need to explain rules etc (or introduce mechanics that have unintended consequences).


Escape Goat posted:

Even just face off in your d zone would be sufficient here. A penalty in OT is probably about a 50% chance of a goal, so I think that’s too severe. Could also result in some weird play where defenders almost pass rush a guy as he enters the zone trying to push him out.

This is a really good idea which is why it will never happen.

Detroit must have the worst mixture of defending and goalkeeping in the entire league. How do we give up these huge leads so consistently?
