GDT: Cam Ward straight up gets an Orange Julius from Columbus

[bluedevil58]

Good win!

Some Anniversary special for the ACC (I think).


Alas I work that day so will have to record it.

I guess I'll know what fans of Pacific teams go through when those teams play in the ETZ. Sort of.

with the cam ward lovefest in town, darling was precipitously close to losing his grasp on the starting job. this was an answer and we need to see this version of him more.

as an aside, damn josh anderson is a hell of a player for columbus. he's got some similarities to chris kreider in size, skating, and general disposition.

Yeah, for reals. I assumed Cam would be getting the start (hence the thread title), but glad it wasnt Darling who got his butt peed in.

additionally, i am one of many that lost my shit when derek ryan resigned and early in the year when he was playing like hot trash. with that said, he's been really good lately. crucial to what we're doing right now.

We're playing Toronto at 1:30 on Tuesday?

Uhh, okay?

I can watch hockey at decent time, thank you Leafs!

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

slavin had one pass where he turned it over and lead to 1 or 2 scoring chances against. Otherwise he was fantastic.

hanifin had 3 screw ups, including the goal against, otherwise he was fantastic

what a game from darling. I'd guess ward gets anniversery game in toronto.

 

[Roboturner913]

1 goal, 4 shots, 3 hits, 2 blocks

Grats. Reminds me of the Korean world cup and getting up at 2 AM to watch the matches.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Did you see that look on Hanifin's face when he let his man beat him on that goal?

He was angry.

I was delighted.

Signs of life. Good, but they've got a lot more to do to prove it.

 

[Roboturner913]

I think this was the team we thought we'd be seeing on a regular basis this year. Getting solid goaltending and overall good defense, blocking shots, that was a pretty satisfying win.

Nice to know that Forslund is a Kristaps Portzingis fan and yet has no idea who he is

Tripp does though, why am I not surprised.

wait what they are talking about Porzingod? Why?

Forslund mentions Hornets next Fox Sports telecast is against the Knicks (Hornets do the same thing w/ the Canes on their broadcasts, guess it's a contract thing to mention the other team), and Forslund randomly says "This Portzingis guy is my new favorite player, I don't know who he is"

 

[The Faulker 27]

Really surprised with this W. Darling please keep this up. The game was really tight as usual with Columbus and he made the saves necessary to win. That's what could be the difference maker if he find his game consistently.

thank you!
I think Knicks will win that one, if Porzingis can play.

 

[HisIceness]

We are ahead of Pittsburgh in the standings as of right now, even have a game in hand on them to boot

Holy shit the Penguins are not having a good season.

 

[Wolfpuck]

So did Cam get his Orange Julius?

 

[Wolfpuck]

We are ahead of Pittsburgh in the standings as of right now :shocked:

Suck it JR. Suck it long, and suck it hard.

 

[Roboturner913]

thats awfully personal

 

[HisIceness]

thank you!

Probably will. Hornets are terrible this season, rumors that they might be looking to ship Kemba Walker out.

For all the griping we do about our own team (and rightfully so), the Hornets are an absolute mess and have been since they traded Alonzo Mourning way back in 1995. This current franchise is no better. They have a few more recent playoff appearances thanks to the East being a joke of a conference, but never get out of Round 1 anyways. And even if they did, LeBron would make quick work of them.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

This division is crazy. The Canes will likely be in last place by the end of the night, despite being on pace for a ~90 point season.

Keep winning season series against division rivals, and we'll be in good shape.

Ladies and gents, Hanifin has arrived and is ready to burn down your village.

NBA as a whole is joke. There are only like 3 or 4 teams who have actually chance to win championship. More realistically two teams - Warriors and Cavs.

And why playoffs are really a long shot. I never really believed it was gonna happen this season though. Still totally possible, but when you look at the body of work so far it's just not likely.

I'm still excited about the direction of the team though. I think they're close. Just not quite there.
