I’ve officially seen enough. ENOUGH!
The New Jersey Devils must cut ties with Vitek Vanecek, one way or another.
I cannot stomach seeing him in net for another game!
He got bailed out in Vancouver tonight in a Devils 6-5 win.
I discuss the abysmal goaltender that is Vitek Vanecek in this video.
Let me know what you guys think in the comments!

It’s like he feels like he has to be a hero on every save and do a crazy dive for it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this about our broadcast crew … we've come a far far far way away from Doc and Chico and Steve and Chico. I tell my wife every time we're watching, Bill and Dano are defending something the players do so poorly or chalk something up to bad luck, everything is so homerish and I hate it.
I'm living out of market now so need to use ESPN+ and if game is on NHL network our broadcast on ESPN+ is blacked out for me, I'll tell ya, I've come to a point where I enjoy watching our opponents broadcast better, last night was entertaining and unbiased watching the Canucks broadcast on NHL network. I hate what our crew has become, and maybe that's because we've been spoiled for so many years prior to last year.
Edit:: I should mention Dano was much better when he was with Steve, I feel like Bill has brought him down as well.
Why does Dave Rogalski still have a job as goaltending coach? Since he's been here the team has had the worst goaltending season in the history of the franchise and this year looks like it's gonna be a close 2nd. None of the team's goaltenders have improved since he's been coach, and yet somehow he never gets any of the blame.
😂 I was wondering what you were thinking when I saw him get the start . I wasn’t too happy either (Sorry V ) couldn’t believe they tied it ! What a nail biter at the end… Completely agree with you ! Too many rebounds, no confidence at all … His face when Vancouver scored their 5th goal 😳. I happened to watch it on a Canadian channel and the announcer ( Ray Ferraro) was not complimenting V at all 😂 Kept saying how he allows to many rebounds , dude was crapping on V the whole game lol … Apparently Devils have the 2nd to last goaltending in the NHL 🙁
VV turned what was supposed to be a mind-clearing, house-cleaning Hughesday by the 2nd into an unnecessary nailbiter 'till the last few seconds. Maybe V just caught me on one of my worst nights, but yeah I'm tired of being merciful with this guy. Really hoping Lindy starts going with your Schmid-centered plan or I'm gonna have to start raising a glass with ya
Vitek’s body language tells you all you need to know. He is flopping around, overcommitting, and just praying the puck hits him. Not to mention the horrific rebounds, which the Sportsnet feed on NHL Network was really ripping him for. He’s playing with zero confidence and he should not see the net again for a long time until he gets things straightened out.
Even at the Sabers game last week, yes we won, but we instantly got score on both opposing power plays which isn’t really good, letting silly goals in like what if we only had a 1 goal lead instead of 4
I'd take Blackwood back at this point…
I'm scared Jarry will score on Vanachek if Pittsburgh plays NJ soon!
you can tell the difference between him and Akira, Vitek is always so finicky in the net, but you can see Akira (even if he isn't the best goalie) is so calm and cool in net and has confidence when he makes saves, whereas Vitek is always all over the net trying to be hero with his 'big saves'.
I was a big Vanacek fan last year, he seemed to be much more clutch.. I'll be honest that he's definitely not playing to his potential at all, but some of the replays I watch are just legitimate defense breakdowns. It sucks, but I am starting to agree that stats are stats… too many GA's.
Did you see the numbers of saves and additions between Damko and Vitek? You ve got to be joking. You have no clue what you are talking about. The defense doesn't work in front of him. Yes, he is not althea best player, but he definitely is not what you are trying to describe. You are probably just too drunk.
Send him down, bring up Daws to back up Akira until we can sign a Vet.
I feel your pain. Good idea with the starting to drink thing. I think next game I'll sit there with a nice glass of whiskey myself
When you substitute 2 veterans with a 20 year old and Bahl it’s gonna weaken the defense resulting in more goals because of their inexperience. Now add a 19 year old in Nemec, they will make mistakes but they will figure it out and make the devils better in the long run.
I agree with you man but shmid is not much better 😮 how about a video about how much Timo sucks a waste of 8.8 million$$ love your videos go devils 👍
I have no problem with him going…as long as he takes Schmid with him!
