I usually call it "lulling them into a genuine sense of security."

 

[MFRONE]

We've been outshot badly every single preseason game it seems, hope that doesn't continue on October 4

 

[Roadman]

Outshot is not always out scored.

The Jackets under Arniel out shot everyone, how'd that work out.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Boone Booned that guy

Wisniewski!! Top right corner like a postage stamp! - Bob Mc

Wisniewski!! Top right corner like a postage stamp! - Bob Mc

Is it bad that I keep expecting to hear Bob slowing start sounding more and more like he's calling the games from a rocking chair, putting down the corncob pipe just long enough to pat his sleeping hound on the head?

I was just going to ask about him. I haven't been able to follow any of the preseason games, how has that guy looked?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Tie.

This is actually his first game. He had a groin injury. Sounds like he's doing well as usual.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

We lost in the shootout. anisimov shot first, denied, atkinson second, stopped, calvert third and he got stopped, and for Minnesota Zucker scored and Hallow (?) got denied.

 

[Teppo]

So...it still projects to be their opening night roster?

Where does that put the Jackets?

 

[Seedtype]

Where does that put the Jackets?

Guess we're done already.

 

[Roadman]

Great object lesson, teaching point for Richards. Anybody can beat you if you're not ready, especially if they want it more than you do.

Let 's hope it's lesson learned.

Yeah.

I was only half-paying attention in the third... was Harding standing on his head?

Haula.

While not jumping ship, a performance like tonight's is reminiscent of Jackets past. Pre-season or not when you come with your top 6 available D and most of your top forwards and the Vezina winner you should be able to beat a bunch of Ahlers. Or at least out shoot them. P**s poor performance.

Wasn't there, so can't comment on whether it was a p**s poor performance or not. Don't know if they were out played or just a matter of bounces. With the disparity in talent of the squads you would expect a better outcome but then the Jacket have often won games they shouldn't have.

But it doesn't really matter, either way, it stills presents an opportunity for Richards to remind them of what it takes to win.
