GDT: Flames vs Jackets (5pm on Sportsnet)

[Tkachuky]

Wtf..... what a big let down by Brodie.

 

[Mobiandi]

You were sayin'?

:'(

 

[Pomee]

Brodie really need some mental help!
He does these mental farts every fricking game!

 

[MonaHan Solo]

Why was Brodie on and not Dougie?

Glen wtf are you doing

 

[Skobel24]

Therapy for Brodie.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Sucks to lose it on that play, but i'll take the point for sure.

 

[DFF]

Most overrated Flames, TJ Brodie, mental midget

 

[djpatm]

I'd trade Brodie before the rest of the league figures out he's not the player he was two years ago. Andersson is ready and Stone is no worse.

This is exactly when you make this kind of trade. He still has a lot of value when he shouldn't. Every mistake he makes is just going to mess with him more and he's making at least on terrible play every single game.

 

[Skobel24]

I am just f***ing furious over that. It was so bad Brodie should be credited with a f***ing assist on it.

 

[Lunatik]

well, at least we got the tie

 

[Mobiandi]

I blame GG for this loss. It's been apparent to everyone that Brodie has been really poor lately. Why would he give Brodie a second OT shift before Hamilton? Brodie was great tonight but that error is gonna hurt his confidence (even more) now

 

[JPeeper]

Janko and Versteeg out before Matt Tkachuk in OT.


Yeah, you're right people who defend Gulutzan, he's a real good coach.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Welp. Totally outskated tonight.

Brodie man. You're killing me.

is anyone even replying to your incessant whining about Gulutzan?

 

[Janks]

While Brodie has deserved some criticism, I think a big reason his play has been down is his TOI. He was on for 25ish minutes tonight. If we ease off his time a bit to 20-22, and give Kulak more time - I think the mental errors might pop up less. He’s also tasked with handling the puck all game, so he’s more noticeable with turnovers.

GG is puzzling but really they are lucky to get a point, no coach would have won tonight.

 

[Flameshomer]

I f***ing hate toterella but man his teams are always good.

Glen has the team playing well but he isn't a good motivator, makes very questionable line/timing decisions, and doesn't seem to do well with rookies in the league so far.

You actually think Gulutzan would move a RHS to the left side?

lol

In the real world, moving Brodie without a defenceman coming back just means Bartkowski in the top four. Imagine the guy who struggles as a sheltered bottom pairing plug now playing 20+ minutes a night against top competition.

It's bizarre how hard it is for some to understand that Gulutzan likes his left/right split.

I agree. Ryan Suter talked about having to make adjustments to his game when he was playing close to 30 minutes a night; stuff like having to pick his spots, conserve energy, etc. Cutting Brodie's minutes a bit might reduce the unforced mental errors.

I agree again.

 

[Skobel24]

There we go.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Yeah you do Hrudey yeah you do

What did he say?

 

[MonyontheMoney]

Lol at whoever said Brodie was fantastic.

Guys so lost defensively it's not even funny.

The way he's playing, he shouldn't be over 20 minutes a night.

 

[Tofveve]

What did he say?

Something like "you don't see that from Brodie very often"

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I'd still have Brodie out after Gio 3 on 3. He's more mobile and has better vision, most of the time he's good with the puck on his stick too.

That was bad - but it was as much a fluke as anything else.

 

[FlamesFan18]

Brutal mistake but Flames had no business getting to OT in the first place.

Brodie is still a top ~25 D in the league and trading him puts the Flames out of playoff contention.

Flames offense scored 0 goals in over 60 minutes because our top line got shut down yet this is all Brodie's fault.
