GDT: Jets vs Kings (Mar-20th, 7pm) - "City of Angels"

[Gotaf7]

I think you missed my point. The difference is less than a goal on average. That means for example instead of winning by two we win by one. In no way does it guarantee a loss like people post. On an individual game basis it is not that statistically significant.

Ya I did.

Damnit.

Perreault beat me to my lifelong goal of somebody, somewhere, calling me "Snake Plissken". Oh well, couldn't have happened to a better man.

Called comrie starting 2 days ago. Hellebuyck needs a rest. 4 games for sure for the backup who ever it is over the next 10.

I mentioned it when he got called up. Thought he could even play against the Hawks but that didn't happen. The B2B for the Kings made it seem likely to me

I don't particularly like the Morrow Chiarot pairing

Folks, we have ourselves a Nostradamus-off here.

Musical interlude paying homage to "city of angels"

 

[EpicGingy]

Win tonight and they're only 1 point back of the franchise record. I really want to see them smash past it with authority.

Morrow and Comrie are in. I'm hopeful that Comrie can have a killer game - we may need him down the stretch so perhaps one can rationalize this game as not only rest for Helle but also in Comrie's development. Comrie has actually put up some gaudy numbers in the A. Nothing would make me happier to see him perform well.

P.S. We are (mostly) a species that enjoys playing with words and meaning. The daily use of language, of itself, almost begs us to do something fun with it. Aside from work, my passions are sports and literature. Rolling hockey and literary quotes together with a bit of invention – it honestly makes me happy, and it is only shared in the spirit of generosity. My sincere apologies if this has upset some sensibilities, and I recognize that even the source material, let alone my Benny Hill-esque mangling of otherwise famous prose is not high on everyone's wishlist.

I wouldn't worry about the defensive pairings, but I'd be very worried about Comrie in net. Last time I saw him play -- he got "eaten alive." Let's hope he can have a big game.

Last time I saw him he was fantastic

 

[Shaibu]

So Comrie is starting..

8-3 Kings.


Boo.

Folks, we have ourselves a Nostradamus-off here.

I really went out on s limb thinking the kings would play their ahl goalie on a b2b and the jets stating they needed to give hellebuyck a rest would start comrie.

 

[Dessert Nights]

Comrie starting so Calgary or St. Louis won't get in the playoffs.

Maybe I missed a game ? -- but I believe he only started 1 game ? The game I saw him in, he looked very shaky to me. Maybe I'm wrong here ?-- but I think he only started 1 game, and we lost that one.

Anyways, if he does start, I hope he comes up with a big game, because LA will be looking to secure a playoff position, and they just beat the Wild. If I had it my way--I'd play Helle, and I think we'd win.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Hoping for a better game than last time, when they faced someone who played the night before and got absolutely bodied.

He played the Detroit game and got lit up somewhat, but he looked very good on a number of those shots. He also played the Columbus game last year, where he recorded his first NHL win. Goal support will do that, though.

Player pre-game audio: Eric Comrie, Blake Wheeler, Mark Scheifele and Ben Chiarot.

Coach Maurice pre-game scrum topics: Coach Maurice: What is status of Jacob Trouba? Why is this a good game for Eric Comrie? Why has the transition been so smooth for Paul Stastny? How have the Kings changed with the addition of Jeff Carter? Given everything that has happened to their goalies, how much awareness do they have about protecting Hellebuyck? Does he not mind a guy not taking a penalty when they are protecting their goalies? On the depth at centre and the options to run the bench. On the team being more adaptable. What goes into the thinking behind his D pairings? Would the opposition's fastest line face Morrissey/Myers? If there had been no injuries would he have swapped guys around? On Josh Morrissey raising his level. On the leadership from the veterans. On Roslovic.

Hasn't he been killing it with the Moose?

It was in the AHL. It's not like he hasn't played hockey since that game in December

 

[BrokerD]

Truth be told I had a very different GDT planned.
But I saw that I didn't have the time and energy to do it justice so I decided to bail and ended up with what you see.

What we see is awesome! Toby killed it

Great job

 

[kanadalainen]

Yup

Long time lurker, finally decided to get an id and comment on these GDT. AWESOME great work

It was in the AHL- well you still have to be good there as well-right !! The bottom line, is we really have to have a "backup goalie" and Comrie is the only guy ready to go. We may as well see what he can do. He looks like a very small goaltender, but if he has really fast reflexes, maybe he'll be fine ??

Have to be honest -- I don't have much confidence in him -- but I would love him to prove me wrong -- just like Helle did this year. I'd like the Jet's to win this LA game.

The difference between a .925 goalie and a .905 goalie on 30 shots against is less than one goal.

The difference between .905 goalie and .925 goalie can also be the amount of blowout games.
