Edmonton is No Good VIII: There's Still Something in the Water!

Also, how much of the game does a goalie have to play for it to be counted as a "complete game"? Does the GP stat mean the same as complete game?

I'm asking because the tweet refers to a complete-game, and it would be interesting to see the Flames numbers using that same measure.

No, games played in general. Drafting Brossoit is still a good pick as a result.

Easier to use games started then as opposed to games played:

Keetley's 1 GP was actually 9 minutes in relief.
Irving drops from 13 to 12 GS.
Ortio from 34 GS.
Brossoit 56 GS.
Gillies 10 GS.

Look above.

As bad as the Flames history of drafting goaltenders has been, it is still orders of magnitude better than the Oilers.

He's just a waste of oxygen. That's all.

It's from being no good.

Probably the last game for Skinner anyway. Smith is back from his mysterious injury.

Choosing between Smith and Skinner is like choosing between getting kicked in the balls or punched in the face. You ask yourself how the hell are these the only two options, and would prefer to have neither.

And Koskinen is like water torture, as his glove side gradually sucks away all hope you had at the outset.

Face! No, balls!

Oh wait there really isn't a blueliner on Edmonton that can probably backfill for Bouchard.

Yeah too bad we don’t have a guy like a Nesterov to put our rookie with.

? Not sure if sarcastic.

Sarcastic or not, Nesterov would be on your top pairing. That’s how bad your defensive pairings look.

This is a really bad Ottawa team. I thought they might be decent after the first game or two, but they’re just plain bad. Of course the commentators are raving with how good the Oilers look.

Canucks supposedly looked good last week too...and went right back to getting pounded by the Habs

When your goaltending is this bad, it sucks the life out of you. You know that you have no chance of winning, so the extra effort just disappears

I already expect a loss when Rittich is in. Murray and The hog look way worse also.

Stutzle beats kostinem’ clean.

Kassian trying to fight the Russians on the bench while ignoring Gudbranson right in front of him is the most Kassian thing ever

He knows how to pick his spots for sure

He's probably marching in Peru.
