Comeau... Really?

[lazypucker]

Relax, we will see him (and Babchuk) in a Flames jersey a maximum of 36 more games...

[Banner]

I'll never forget the first game in Van, where he failed to receive a slow pass.. Then falls after. I laughed the whole game and convinced myself he was currently the worst player in the NHL right now.

You know who must be Comeau's biggest fan? Matt Stajan; because of his sheer crappiness Stajan is no longer the whipping boy in Calgary.

We like to call him Coma. Encouraging him to not wake up so he can dream that he is playing hockey. Easily one of the worst flames on the ice that causes instant cringe when I notice him out on the ice fumbling the puck or play.

[Alberta_Beef]

Seriously? A thread crapping all over a 4th liner that was one of the best players tonight?

He is a 4th liner for a reason, I'm not sure what the hell people expect other than hard work, physical play and creating energy. He did all of those today.

That's what the coaching staff sees. It's not all that difficult.

Matt Stajan <3's Comeau...lol.

[Huntingwhale]

I'm still amazed that this guy somehow managed to score 24 goals a couple seasons ago. Blows my mind.

[Flame Man12]

He has to be worse guy in the league. I can not believe they actually re signed him. As if they couldn't find some free agent better than him. TK would be an updrade. Anyone in Abbotsford would be an upgrade. Actually dressing 11 forwards instead of 12 would be an upgrade.

So?

Always a bit confused/annoyed when people make comments like this. It's not like Comeau is the only "problem" being discussed on this forum and it's not like Feaster can't attempt to solve multiple problems at once.

Well you can have him back.

[Poe969]

Send him to the leafs, they what "grit" and probably dont watch enough of him to know he sucks. Flames will be better without him

Actually Stajan is no longer the whipping boy because his play has improved dramatically this season.

Without Comeau, I think Jackman or Jones would be the offensive whipping boy.

I totally get the feeling that if he was a Sutter signing Comeau would be long gone.

Talk about hitting the nail on the head!! Now you are getting warm....totaly Feaster's directive.

[Sakari]

When Baertschi is game-ready he'll be playing on the 3rd line and Comeau will be knocked off. I've liked what I've seen from Begin more than Comeau, honestly.

Who? It isn't like the flames have talent in the ahl either if you think comeau is bad just look at the heats first line. Not to mention comeau is better then begin, and jackman. Not sure why we are ripping on comeau.

He was a lottery ticket waiver claim, former first round pick, world jr team member, 24 goal season, He is big, young, can still skate, hit and has a really hard shot. Just lost confidence somewhere along the road.

Not going to lie I was excited when he was claimed, Didn't really cost the flames anything, sucks that it didn't pan out.

Well if Matt Martin is included in your "young and skilled" list then I would say everyone under 25 in the Flames organization qualifies.

Is rather have the growing pains on neimisz up here than comeau.

You are probably the only poster on this board who believes that.

If this was late last year, I'd totally agree with you but in 34 games this year Nemisz has a grand total of 4 points and zero goals. He got hurt early and has really struggled since returning.
