It’s crazy that we have to say this, but Mackenzie Blackwood is in no way shape, or form the reason the New Jersey Devils season went of the rails. This Devils season is so many people’s faults it’s not worth listing right now. However, Blackwood’s struggles aren’t the main reason. It’s probably not even in the top five.
When Corey Crawford decided he’d rather not play hockey than play for the Devils, the team was stuck with Scott Wedgewood as the only other goalie on the main roster.
