And on the second game of a back to back, the coach decides to play Helly again. I just don't get it...

I think it is well established that the entire coaching staff is bad at their jobs.

The cat came back, we thought he was a gonner but the cat came back.

He sure hasn't shown any sign of being able to play in the NHL.

True but he’s improving..
Goalies are voodoo, so patience and scrutiny called for..

Comrie should get every game until the end of the season. We have no back-to-backs and we are out. No reason to play Helly. Let's see Comrie and how he handles 6 games in a row.

According to capfriendly, Comrie is a UFA this summer. I hope the Jets re-sign him.

Shout out for the shutout.

they almost certainly will, don't fret!

 

[enuffidiotsalready]

i remember when Comrie was the only big question mark for this season. we were all so naive back then.

comrie has been a pleasant surprise for sure. but to reinforce your vodoo point... remember laurent brossoit? 925 through 21 gp and then followed it up with a 895 for us. small sample of games so 1 good (or bad) game can have a real large impact on sv%. however i will say comrie performed nicely this year.... it would've been nice to have played him merely 3-4 more games throughout the year so we would have atleast retained his rights, not that i am supremely concerned we would get out-bidded for him, but things happen.

UFA due to not having played enough games. I wonder how far short he is? He certainly should have played more games this year. Maybe we would have won a few more. A less overworked Helle might have also played better.

The first few pages of this thread are both entertaining and sad at the same time.

There are some bright spots - sure, but not too many.

He is 4 games short as of now.

I noticed that CF stated it as having not had enough games by the age of 25. He turned 26 July 6 so this year's games may not have counted.

This year's games counted, the age 25 part is just a qualifier so that teams can't toll the RFA rights of a player indefinitely if they don't intend to play them.

Comrie was sporting a 91.5% save percentage going into the game against the Flyers, and played fantastic in his shutout. I hope the Jets can resign him, and I'm sure he'd be great in the lockeroom as well.

I imagine it won't be that difficult to retain him. I think both he and the org like the fit.

 

[blueandgoldguy]

He only had 15 starts this season. I'm still not sure if he is a quality backup yet...I know that sounds ridiculous, but I would have like to see a few more starts to lessen my uncertainty.

Probably the most pleasant surprise for the Jets this year. He has earned a multi-year contract. I wonder what would it take given his limited starts. $1.3- $1.5 million AAV? I really wouldn't want him to receive $2 million plus, but the question is, would another team offer that much?

I doubt he gets much more then $1.2 million.

The question is why they even have to think about retaining him. 3-4 more games? Makes no sense, like a lot of things with this team.

No kidding, Lowry ran Helle into the ground when he had a backup playing some great hockey.

 

[robertocarlos]

I bet he gets $1.25 for 4 years from some team.

PS. I lost my job for going 500k over budget.

comrie has been a pleasant surprise for sure. but to reinforce your vodoo point... remember laurent brossoit? 925 through 21 gp and then followed it up with a 895 for us. small sample of games so 1 good (or bad) game can have a real large impact on sv%. however i will say comrie performed nicely this year.... it would've been nice to have played him merely 3-4 more games throughout the year so we would have atleast retained his rights, not that i am supremely concerned we would get out-bidded for him, but things happen.

Nice post, thoughtful…
Comrie, lacking Helly’s and Croissant’s size, has had to navigate a lot more of the NHL goalie’s skills..it takes longer..
As a physical therapist and trainer, I suspect Comrie’s passion and youth will serve him well to become a truly viable and reliable backup. (Even if he doesn’t gets as many goals as Berdin! )

Yup, there is a lot of variability in the results of an NHL backup simply due to the small amounts of games they play or atleast the small amounts of games they play here. He's earned himself the right to come back as our backup and and i'm pulling for him to have another good year next year.

 

[HellebuyckOurSaviour]

I also thought going into this season that Comrie wouldn't do very good for us but he definitely proved me wrong. He had/has a great season. Just sucks cause I hope he doesn't get *Vegassed* in the off-season like they did with Brossoit. It's been so nice to have a good backup Brossoit/Comrie for the last 4 years with a Vezina style goalie as our starter. Could be alot worse like Arizona, Buffalo or New Jersey with there 50 goalies dressed in a year lol
