We lost to a very good team on the tail end of a back to back with Clemmer in goal.
How doesn't it make it better?
Most of the board predicted 0 out of 4 points this weekend. We ended with 3 out of 4.
We get a point in Vancouver and this was a successful road trip. Numbers don't lie.

Completely disagree.
He has been fine. Just not the all-world player he was the first several games which he was clearly playing over his head. He still is very valuable all-around defender. There's a reason he plays the most minutes, third most on the PK, and that him and Larsson were trusted killing off the 4-on-3 at the end of the game with Greene in the box.
it doesnt make it better because the game was won and we(once again)choked it away.
enough silver lining crap, this team isnt good enough to throw away points

Bad bounce and one bad play and Clemmer playing the one play poorly that we expected all night from him. Yet we still scored 4 and got a point.
Jets game was a game to be fed up with. Not this one.

Aren't they having unseasonably warm temps over there? Don't knke what to do when it's warm haha.
It's a theme that's been all too common over the last couple years, so I get all the frustration. I was just as pissed watching the game earlier. Now that I've cooled down it doesn't bother me quite as much. It still sucks, but it's not the worst loss. I'd rather lose one like this than to have a game where the team doesn't even bother to show up.

It was noticeable. Especially on the shoot out. The ice was pure **** on our side.

Looking back on it. I'm not impressed with Clemmer. He made big saves but it seemed more luck then skill.
He consistantly looked off balance and was fighting it all night. Final two goals were off rebounds of initial saves. He was begging all night for the flames to crash the net and make his shakiness pay. Defense can't do all the work (they blocked a good amount of shot attempts). He has to make some clean saves at the end and cover up or push them out of harms way.
He isn't the the lone cause but his play was a part of the reason we lost. (Jagr's dumb pass is still the biggest and eferyone not keeping the puck at the boards at least was also a problem)

So they blew a 2 goal lead with a couple of minutes to goal with an empty net. Glad I didn't stay up for this crap.
It doesn't matter if it's Calgary, LA or the Sabres. 2 goal lead with an empty net yet they can't get the W. Shameful. But hey it's not like this has been a recurring theme since 2011 with these blown leads. Oh wait...

Ahahahahahaha this ****ing team... not even a little surprised they blew the lead, just par for the course. But extra points for giving up 2 in the last few minutes, adds some more flare to the ****show
Sidenote: Did a gif of that Clemmer shrug after the first goal appear yet?

What are you talking about, Larsson was on the ice for the last shift with a one-goal lead. Maybe he missed a shift or two before that which is puzzling but they were running 5 D for most of the third period so the rotation was going to be a little wonky, but that's almost looking for something to complain about considering Larsson played 22 minutes total last night.

Go look at the shift chart. I've already explained this and this is why Deboer needs to be fired. Larsson was benched after the PK which was around 14min mark. He wouldn't have seen the ice again if CGY hadn't scored.
This is why Deboer needs to be fired. Literally our best shutdown defenseman benched in the final 5 mins and then trotted out in the final minute like "oops I forgot you were there" as Deboer set the team up for failure. Note he gets sent out with Andy Greene who had played nearly 4 of the final 5 mins in the game.
Great job Deboer!
Some folks keep saying it's the players but it's not. The coach keeps setting them up to fail by overusing certain guys and underutilizing others.
Kind of how Kovy almost died playing here 30 mins a night.
This!
Greene played way too much in the third. He was clearly gassed on the third goal. Looked a little off on the fourth as well.

That miscue by Jagr at the end of regulation is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with this team. Stupid mistake by a veteran player at a crucial time.
The amount of turnovers this team makes on a nightly basis is absurd. And nearly every player is guilty of it. (Although Zajac, Elias, and Jagr are probably the worst offenders). Stringing multiple tape-to-tape passes together is also something this team seems unable to do. When your players are slower than average, crisp clean passing is how you negate the lack of speed.
None of this sloppy play that we see night in and night out is on the coach?

I knew the second Jagr made that pass they would tie it. More than anything, it's the turnovers that drive me crazy.

Same here, I said "what a stupid pass", but I catch myself saying that dozens of times during games.
That boneheaded decision cost us a point last night.
