Steeger is a gorram treasure

[Scroopy Noopers]

Pretty solid deal having Hart in the fold as well.

[Vinny01]

Flyers can run the cheapest tandem in the league

[The Professor]

So that’s 1/31 not looking for a goalie.

Still crazy to think Treliving was probably ready and willing to re-sign him long term until he crapped the bed in the playoffs against Anaheim.

That series alone probably cost Elliott a fair bit of $$$ too.

[Enoch Root]

$1.5M for Elliott is about $2M too much

[agulati]

Good contract for a decent backup. Elliott has his warts, but as a backup, he is solid

Maybe that applies to Talbot too.

I get triggered thinking about perhaps the worst playoff performance by a goalie in league history.

A whole playoff series of that crap. I still can't believe the Flames lost that series, let alone got swept.

Lost 4 one goal games with .800 goal tending and many blamed Gaudreau

Chad Johnson was the other option. Good gracious. I miss kipper.

Goaltending woes is a very tired excuse for the flames. Good teams find a way to win and make goalies look good. Lehner and khudobin just the latest examples.

Good for Elliot. His career survived the train wreck of playing net for the Calgary flames.

Overall, maybe.

I really liked Brian Elliott as a Flame during the regular season, but in the playoffs vs the Ducks... please.

After the first round of the 2017 playoffs: League-wide, there were 23 low danger shots that resulted in goals. 7 of those were on Elliott. No other goalie allowed more than 2.

He was TRASH against the Ducks.

It will be unbelievably hard to top Elliott's performance against Anaheim as one of the worst individual stretches of goaltending in the history of this club.

At least, it's the worst stretch that I've seen, by far. I know some people really hated Phil Sauve though, so maybe that tops it? Idk, I'll need some of my elders to weigh in on this one.

No chance that a Flames goalie has ever played worse relative to expectations.

[Corral]

Really tired of the bad goalie excuse. Is Talbots game 6 this year the second worst ever?

Bad teams make excuses for losing.
