Post-Game Talk: Flames 3 - Jets 1

[Howard Chuck]

Both shots were pipe and in. I thought Comrie was fine.

I didn’t see anyone mention it, but didn’t the first flames goal deflect off of Pionk? Pionk even put up his arms and looked up at the sky, cause he knew it hit him. It wasn’t an easy straight in shot.

 

[Edgar Halliwax]

I'm genuinely feeling bad for Comrie. He's playing well, we just can't score when he's in net.

 

[ps241]

Honestly if there is one guy who I would put my money on to mentally cope with this aberration of luck it would be Comrie. What the kid lacks in god given size and talent he seems to make up for mentally. I think he is a natural battler.

He has to know he is facing the worst run of luck/run support. He will be ready for next game and I expect him to keep playing good enough.

Honestly he seems like a guy who wakes up every morning and says HOLY SHIT I GET TO BE AN NHL GOALIE TODAY! and just has a shit eating grin on his face all day.

Really positive guy - and with both his older brothers having played in the NHL and wealthy parents it's kind of rare that he wouldn't act entitled.

Really good guy in my mind. He's so nerdy too which I think the guys get a kick out of.

Yup spot on to the bolded

One of my favorite interviews with him was him talking in a hilarious deadpan way about how Scheifele calls him a sandbagger in golf. He went into detail about Mark being a 1 cap and he is a 5 cap and Mark complaining about Eric always having a magically good day when he plays Schiefele. My set up of this story sucks but if you saw Comrie recounting it with just a twinge of Cheshire Cat smirk it was comedy gold. I instantly saw why guys would like to be around him.

Yup, you could tell immediately by Pionk's reaction on the first goal that it glanced off him and changed direction

2nd goal was post and in from the slot from a guy who can fire a puck

I’m starting to wonder if Comrie is in net, are they more concerned with defending then with Helly in net? I don’t know why he can’t get the run support when he starts.

I think it's just luck. We certainly got our chances vs Calgary.

I thought that, too... but they had 67 shot attempts last night. Not exactly sitting back and defending

Yep, who is in net doesn’t stop them from scoring on their chances. Ehlers didn’t create a breakaway for himself then realize shit I can’t finish this, Comrie is in net.

 

[TS Quint]

They sent McGoof off to get his metamucil fix

Bugeyes needs more scoring support in the games he plays, plain and simple

I have no idea what any of this means....

 

[Adam da bomb]

So weird that there was a post last night bout the problem with the 1st line is their plus minus as if a puck deflecting off our player is a problem with the line.,
Hockey happens. I think I’m just as bad, but, sometimes no one is at fault for a goal against.

 

[Jets 31]

Ouch, little hungover today, small headache, guess only 3 hours sleep doesn't help. Jets outplayed Calgary big time and got goalied ,going to happen once in a while in a 82 game schedule. If the Jets got outplayed and lost i would be mad but that wasn't nearly the case. Jets will win alot of games playing like that so on to the next game when we score 7 goals. Now time for a nap .

 

[TS Quint]

That Flame wasn't his guy (not that anyone is anyone's "guy" on a PK)

Where was the high F on that side? Why isn't he getting any heat? He's the guy that should have been out there to contest that shot

Edit:

I hate you break it to everyone, but Stan was in perfect position on that play. Lowry was the guy out of position, partially because #4 ran a bit of a pick on him

People are blaming Stanley because he didn't leave the man in front of the net and go chase a guy 90 feet behind the play. It's unreal the irrational hate Stanley gets. Too many people have SDS, Stanley Derangement Syndrome.

 

[TS Quint]

I love how everyone kind of ignores this because the stan stats are off the charts... so it doesnt agree with the anti stan eye test but also his supporters would now also have to acknowledge adv stats are valid...

I don't see these "Stanley supporters". Who are these people actively pushing Stanley as a good player. What I see are some people saying he doesn't deserve the blame he gets sometimes. At best these "Stanley supporters" say is that he's not as bad as the people with Stanley Derangement Syndrome say he is.

 

[TS Quint]

Stan over commits first of all... this is a result of his footspeed - he overcompensates and basically plays man coverage on the pk instead of his zone

Our pk is based on aggressive gap control... stan just consistently backs up too much and doesnt have the footspeed to challenge - thats never going to change

Yes its a nice pass but by no means a play of the week

Stanley over commits to the man who is in the most dangerous spot on the ice......

 

[antiqueslivers]

stanley is slow and processes the game slowly. I don't see how he is considered NHL quality.

 

[TS Quint]

Yeah, but it’s short side.

Call me old school but I feel like an NHL goalie - assuming they’re properly set - should never get beat short side, especially when it’s a right handed shooter on the right side (or vice versa).

Watching the replay, it looks like Comrie was a bit slow tracking the cross ice pass and was too late getting his angle correct when Kuzmenko released it.

I can't remember what talking head said it but he called the short side the AHL side.

Yet he is and will be a regular fixture of our line up.

 

[TS Quint]

I think they think Fleury is their bottom pair LD right now. Just going off of when there was an opportunity for someone to play 2nd pair LD they picked Fleury first. Stan and Tiny stayed on the 3rd pair.

 

[Gm0ney]

I mean off the post and in from the slot on the PP. Probably *could* have had it but I find it hard to say that he *should* have had it

Probably the crusty old goalie in me coming out though. I'm not trying to be overly argumentative or pedantic (for a change lol)

I feel like Hellebuyck almost certainly has that one. He rarely gets beat low like that. I think even Comrie saves that a majority of the time. Bit of a bad break.

 

[Moloch]

If we can mimic the shot performance of last night in comries next start im sure we will get him the W. Like many others have said we got goalied.
