GDT: Flames vs Devils 7:00 PM EST MSGSN2

[Hisch13r]

Not even a half xG combined across the last 2 3rds. 0.48 xGF to 5.08 xGA. This team is f***ing pathetic.

 

[Bleedred]

I don’t wanna hear anything from any of these guys other than “ALLEN STARTS! ALLEN STARTS! ALLEN STARTS! ALLEN STARTS!” I don’t care if he gives up 12 goals to Ottawa on Saturday. I don’t care how many years Markstrom played in Vancouver. f*** him!

And if they get tired of saying that then they can start telling you Daws will start.

The Pittsburgh game was reason enough to bench him for several games. Playing him after Allen’s game on Monday? That right there should be enough to get people in trouble.

 

[jkrdevil]

Definitely need a new goalie coach after this. No more excuses.

I’m highly skeptical they do it with this overrated GM as well, but you obviously can’t fire him if we make the playoffs and if we make the playoffs I think he deserves another chance.

I’m. It a Rogalski fan, but I don’t lay this at his feet. The decision to play Markstrom is above his head in all likelihood.

 

[Hisch13r]

Markstrom deserves to ride the bench for a week at this point.

Either the bench or upstairs in the injured players suite if he isn’t healthy enough to dress.

The bench is being way too generous. He should be eating some popcorn the rest of the season. Allen and Daws have been INCREDIBLE. They're doing whatever they can to hold up the putrid skater group. Markstrom's been god awful.

 

[Bleedred]

The first mistake Keefe made was telling you he was starting Markstrom yesterday after practice.

It’s nice to see that there isn’t the same kind of accountability with the most important position in the game.

And it’s nice to see the shitty goaltending problem continue.

#firerogalski you idiots.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Team has to figure out how not to bring back last years panic collapses

We had this game in total control for 40 minutes. No real reason to fail.

I think they just decided to ease up (turtle) get pounded assuming the 2 goal cushion was enough to ride it out for 20, as Calgary had no life. Either the turtling is out of them trying to play a 40 minute game only and rest up, or its them getting jumpy.

Marky let in the leaker one, then everyone is playing tight

I know we signed Kovo to the big deal but he recently has been on the bad end of some plays which led to these collapses, poked it right back to huberdoo. He had the stupid icing in the Dallas game (which Haula failed to win faceoffs)

Mercer and Tatar missed 2 huge goal opportunities which, if buried would have had huge momentum. Mercer missing on this key moments is almost a metaphysical guarantee we get a goal against soon after and it eventually came.

Marky given up like 4 or 5 goals basically in his recent games. Wow

Honestly, Keefe deserves a shit storm for this. The Pittsburgh game (as well as the 3 before it) was everything he needed to know about Markstrom right now.

John Hynes knew it with Cory in March of 2018 and Cory hadn’t even been this bad.

These FOOLS that run the team (GM, goalie coach, head coach) deserve for Markstrom to hand a lottery pick right to Calgary.

 

[Billdo]

Oh, Frank.

 

[Bleedred]

You know what? f*** Markstrom.

f*** what he did earlier this year, f*** who he played for before he got here.

I’m interested in getting wins. Not losing games with anywhere between 3 minutes and 3 seconds left in regulation.

Seriously. I’m pretty sure Fitz don’t know what he’s doing, I know Rogalski doesn’t know what he’s doing. And I’m starting at least starting to question if Keefe knows what he’s doing.

 

[Billdo]

Didn't want Markstrom when it was rumored, knew for a fact I didn't want him when Brodeur called him a top 5 goalie in the league when most people would agree he wasn't, don't want him now. This club is cursed in net. The front office reminds me of this clip when it comes to goaltenders

 

[Devs3cups]

Team was playing a pretty solid game in the 1st and 2nd. This sucks

He wasn’t even as great as people were making him out to be earlier this season. He had a bit of an up and down start. Then the team turned into a juggernaut and gave him the easiest job in the league which propped him up a ton.

The wild thing is Allen’s somehow managed to be a god

 

[Bleedred]

This game is giving me 2013-2014 flashbacks.

I feel like I saw the skeleton of Marty do this regularly in 2013-2014.

I still don’t think it happened this much in 4 games.

Maybe if we had a goalie that made saves like we did when we played terribly on Monday we could have at least gotten a point.

I wonder what happened to that goalie? Did he get sick or something? He must have. Because Keefe got up there yesterday and confidently announced Markstrom was starting tonight.

I’m sure he’ll tell us tomorrow that Marky will get Vancouver on Monday. He used to play there too!

 

[Devs3cups]

No issue with the core of this team or the future tbh, but this season overall has sucked. Just get to the playoffs I guess.

But yeah, watching the playoffs will feel kind of pointless tbh.

I remember being SO confident entering the playoffs in 2022-2023. I feel pretty apathetic going into it this season.

The parallels to the team playing well in front of Marty/Markstrom and poor in front of Cory/Allen stand out too lol

 

[Bleedred]

The head coach couldn’t wait to get him out there on Saturday against shitty worthless Pittsburgh instead of Allen. And despite him turning back the clock for the Pens to last decade that game, he couldn’t wait to announce yesterday afternoon that he was getting tonight’s game after the way Allen played Monday.

So you know what? f*** him too.

Yeah like there were the obvious questions around finishing and goaltending for 22-23 but also that team was just damn good and were a legit contender. This team is limping in and getting lucky they’ll likely make it because they had a strong start and the east is absolute dog shit

More like ‘68 flashbacks and you are in the bush with Charlie on patrol looking for Kurtz

This team's ceiling is better with Markstrom than it is Allen and not to mention the asset dump between the two. They need Markstrom to be good as a team, why are we getting on a coach for a player sucking ass and wind in a game where they looked good for 40 mins and asked 20 mins for him to be DECENT. No one said Markstrom had to be elite. I'm so tired of Keefe getting blamed for Markstrom's shortcomings this year, the same garbage was said in December too when Markstrom was losing us games in 11-12 shot defensive performances.

 

[Bleedred]

We should have gotten one point at minimum.

Team was totally deflated by the two Markstrom softies he allowed before the game winner.

I wish these fools would ask smug Keefe why he was such a stupid douche bag to even go back to Markstrom.

Shame on him. Keefe deserves the dunce hat for this one.

This game should really get Markstrom on IR if the last one didn’t.

It’s not better with Markstrom. Keefe doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt either.

 

[PattyElias26]

Oh, Frank.

I hate this fat slob. I'm almost convinced he's not even a real fan, it's the same shit with this guy after every single loss

Keefe should have kept riding the hot hand. And not the guy who can barely stop 80% of the shots and can’t get wins.

He’s basically playing Markstrom on reputation these last two. Not because he’s giving the team their best chance to win.

Fool me once (Saturday) shame on Markstrom. Fool me twice (tonight) shame on Keefe.

How many more of these does he need to see before he stops giving him every other game?
