Devils Player Grid | Worst Goalie

  • September 11, 2024


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.

  1. 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

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

  5. 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)

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

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

  10. 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.

  12. 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.

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

  21. 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

  23. 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.

  25. 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.

  26. 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).

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

    # Hannu Kamppuri.

  32. 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.
