Post-Game Talk: Sabres 5 - Jets 3

[johnnyonthspot]

you can when one goalie plays lights out and the other plays with the lights out

Blaming Comrie is weak sauce. He did not let in a bad goal. The Jets team defence was disturbing and disgusting

 

[Dr Amazing]

He’s got an .843 save percentage on the Moose

Comrie is not the answer.

 

[Edgar Halliwax]

Freaking BOZO SYNDROME to the MAX. Here's hoping this one stings a bit for the Jets. Loosing to the bottom feeders of the league. Get mad. Embarrassing.

Some days the Hockey Gods say no.

I challenge anyone to stay with a straight face that any of the goals Comrie let in were bad.

He's the backup making a meager salary it's not on that the team absolutely collapses in front of him. Maybe there's a reason why we keep making backups look like Hasek

I don't think the team completely collapsed in front of him (if you're referring to the game as a whole). They weren't as good as they can be, but they weren't dogshit either

As for the goals that got past Comrie... I'd put them in the "could have stopped them" category but definitely not the "should have stopped them" category. The loss isn't on him, that's for sure

Chevy better get Nik's pen to paper or the Jets will have a giant hole in their lineup next year.

That's pretty good for a Moose goalie this year lol

 

[macmaroon]

Can't win them all, but we should have beat Buffalo! Reimer was awesome in goal and deserved the win! On to the next one. I give this game two "Mr. Dressups" out of five...

The Prediction Contest has been posted for the game against Ovi and the Trumps for your guesses. A big shoutout to @SUX2BU for giving me a break as he will be posting the next GDT. We all look forward to it! See you all on Tuesday! Good night...

 

[kanadalainen]

Sometimes you have to tip your hat and move on, Jets had many a chance and could cash, Sabres made the most of their less chances. Just the way it goes sometimes.

Wisdom.

 

[Section 325]

Overall, a pedestrian, casual effort by the Jets. Reimer was good, but Comrie let in a deflating goal almost every time the Jets started to get it going. I've been a cheerleader of his this year, but he was a huge factor in us losing.

Some excellent individual efforts from Miller, Tanev, and Ehlers though, so there's that.

The team as a whole need to step it up because this is starting to get into "same old same old" territory. This team should be better than these "try only when we need to", fly-by games against lowly teams. They need to be better than this.

That said, it was just one game.

Next.

It’s at least partially on him.

Three goals should’ve been enough to win when we only gave up 16 shots against.

Four goals against on a 0.5 expected goals/a .750 save percentage on 16 shots is enough in my book to give at least partial blame to your netminder.

the go ahead goal was impossible to stop. the rest were quality shots in high danger areas.

the team has to do better in front of him. its embarrassing the effort they give him in the d zone.

 

[raideralex99]

People need to relax … the Jets played good enough to win and should have won but sometimes it’s not meant to be.

 

[bustamente]

Still have a 8 point lead on the Stars they do have 2 games in hand but they have been pushed to the limit lately. It going to be a hell of a race, Jets have some tough games coming up.

rofl, if this was helle in net you would be screaming from the mountain tops... it's funny this isn't even the first time you have come in a defended comrie after a bad game but you are always the 1st to jump on helle

 

[snowkiddin]

Yeah all the goalies but DD have sucked down there this season

 

[Romang67]

I feared this would happen. Remember the b2b vs the caps that crushed their spirits a few years back. Don't look now but they got the Caps next.
I do not know if I can take another collapse but the expected collapse percentage is growing.

The b2b against the Southeast division rivals Caps? That "few years back?"

If you can't take another collapse, but you fully expect one, you really shouldn't be following the team. I highly recommend stepping out for a while.

 

[kanadalainen]

Folks may defend Comrie, but I think even he would tell you thats not his best game.

Is today's effort representative of his game?

Nope.

Will he bounce back and play better?

Almost assuredly.

Somehow he just was not ready to go. Even Helly has games like this... the 82 game schedule is a cast-iron bastard to get through.

 

[Section 325]

Oh, they easily could have won this game. No doubt.

I don't know if they "should" have won though, because the effort (or interest) was lacking for pretty large portions of the game.

'rofl'
as i already wrote, i am grading their efforts on a curve. helley eats up a significant portion of our cap and thus, amazingly, i have higher expecations of him. hilarious i know.

god, some of these comments are so dumb.

 

[bustamente]

One positive moving forward is the Jets seem to get up for the better teams in the league

 

[DRW204]

Anyone got the Jets record on Sundays this year?

 

[King Woodballs]

sure looks like half the team is in coast mode.
They know they are a lock for the playoffs.
Up a decent amount for first in the conference.
They have let their foot off the gas.
Hopefully they can ramp that back up in short order.

if you were grading on a curve then why don't you grade him against you know... buffalo's backup? how do you think he did now?
