Devils Player Grid | Worst Goalie



Doing this kinda early because I probably won’t be able to later but Ken was winning convincingly. Mr. Devil just has to be on the board.

Also, blurring out Kovi was just a joke I had in mind specifically for the last post, but it looked way worse than expected since McLeod was on there as well so that was a horrible look. No one’s actually getting blurred out permanently, I do want the grid to just look normal, that was just something I thought was humorous but I just forgot an actual deplorable person was on the graph as well.

Chill on Vitek today guys.

    No way it’s Vitek

    Even in recent memory, Hammond was way worse.

    Technically Hannu Kamppuri had worse SV% and GAA while playing nearly double the number of games

    But it’s still gotta be Hammond

  2. I vote Aaron Dell because he’s a bad goalie and a POS person

  3. nsfwITGUY19

    Vitek doesn’t even belong in this conversation. Yeah he didn’t have a great 23. Nobody did. He was fantastic the year before.

    Jon Gillies had better numbers than some of the goalies we used in 21-22, but I’m saying it’s him because of how defeated I felt every time he was starting (and his numbers were also dogshit)

  5. nsfwITGUY19

    Do we pick one of the goalies that never amounted to anything? The trades that were going to “save us” then the guy retires?

    Blackwood was pretty bad during his tenure here imo. But he also had a bad team in front of him most of the time.

    Does Akira schmid after the rangers series count?

  7. SomethingFoul

    I love the guy, and he was on some truly awful teams as our very first starter in NJ, but it’s gotta be Chico. The guy was lucky to post a GAA below 4, and his save pct never saw the 0.9s while he was with the franchise.

    Jon Gillies by a mile . He was the worst goalie I’ve ever seen play in the NHL.

    Craig Billington – 111 games played, an .866 save percentage, 3.99 GAA, -45.3 GSAA. Happy birthday, Craig!

    The answer to this is Jeff Reese.

    He only played three games for us in ’96, but he gave up 6 and 4 goals on 26 and 25 shots faced in his two starts, and 3 goals on 14 shots in one relief appearance. That gave him a Devils career stat line of an 0-2 record with a .800 save percentage and 5.62 GAA.

    I didn’t realize Craig Billington was such ass until I looked at his numbers. I remember him having a good stretch. It’s his birthday so I’ll give him a pass and go with Louis Domingue.

  12. mustachiolong

    We got Gillies for free and he still somehow disappointed.

  13. Marty lost 394 games and gave up over 2700 goals as a Devil. It’s gotta be him!

  14. pretzelogically

    Come on guys, Dano? I mean sure he had zero clue where it was going but he could hit a pretty hard slapper.

  15. DawgMutt05

    Ron Low was a mess. Was the starter for the entire Mickey Mouse game and wasn’t even pulled. Played on many bad teams and has a career record like a hundred games under .500 at something like 105-200. Something like that. Poor guy lol

  16. the_tattooed_bear

    If the worst goalie is not Keith Kincaid I will block you on Twitter.

    Gillies took a piece of my soul as a goalie. Watching the butchery of the position when he played left me feeling less in love with playing the position.

  18. bornofpain2001

    Hammond and Gillies deserve to be on here together

  19. MountainBaker8217

    Let’s not say Crawford guys. He revealed recently why he retired and how he had to retire for his mental health and issues with medications and how much he did want to play with us but just couldn’t.

  20. Wanna say Jon Gillies – I never once saw a shot on him that I was sure he’d save – but that’s probably recency bias. Tbh we’ve had a great run since Marty of taking the goalie position very seriously (aside from maybe some of the last few years).

  21. nostradamefrus

    I declare this thread a SchmidTek besmirchment free zone

    Rest in peace, sweet princes

  22. Its almost like nobody where watched the Devils before five years ago. The answer is a simple one:

    # Hannu Kamppuri.

  23. sweet_chin_music39

    Crawford. Screw that guy for retiring

  24. It’s gotta be Gillies. I don’t get why Crawford is mentioned, he never even played a game

  25. Gillies. He was completely unwatchable.

    Hedberg would be my choice if the 2013 post-lockout season was his only season with the Devils but he was a pretty good backup before that.
