GDT: Game 31 | Columbus vs. Edmonton | 12/12 7PM

[EDM]

I left when it was 5-0. Since players did not give a damn, I did not see why I should. So I left. Frankly, I think Torts has a lot to answer for. This listless, unimaginative, "who cares" style of play has been building and building. Because of Bob we have gotten away with it and Torts has not had to answer for his inability to snap them out of it. Time for the spotlight to be on Torts.

New contender for worst game of the season so far

Nope this one took it and ran away with the title.


This is exactly why coaches say forget about it and move on. I really don't know if there are any bright spots to take away from the game. Just an ugly, terrible game.

Thankfully there's not a huge gap between games and they can work on fixing their mistakes.


I'm not sure we need to make wholes changes, but uh... That D looks a lot weaker without Murray back there. I don't trust Harrington AT ALL, Johnson and Savard are a train wreck and Werenski is showing he's good for an occasional off night.




The ONE positive I saw from this game was in the first period when Dubois just absolutely tossed McDavid. I didn't realize it was McD at first and then he got up and I almost lost it.

I don't know if i can erase this image from my head or forgive. Bob being scored on is always physically painful to me, even when i rewatch the game i know the time, so i just ffwd it. Being scored on by this um...creature ugh.

If only we still had Dalton Prout

If you can't beat 'em, beat 'em up.

Very true about the Columbus media...they're soft. I used to live in Philly - the articles appearing in the paper after a game like this would shock people here in Ohio.

If this was Philly, people would have been screaming at Bob to kill himself.

Heard a rumor that Boone Jenner has been in the lineup the past few games. Can’t confirm unfortunately.

 

[Maylo]

Man if you could go back and let Vegas take Boone over Bill.

Our press corps is a bunch of fat white guys who listen to indie rock. It is not a murderers row of hard hitting journalists

+100 for this post. If Torts ever told Portzline to "GTFO" he would go home and cry while listening to Bright Eyes.

How disappointing.

I had the free space - I had an even strength goal - I had a power play goal - I had a shorthanded goal.

All I needed was a Penalty Shot goal. Then I could have yelled BINGO! Sigh.

Looks like he's out 6 to 8 weeks. Good thing our center depth isn't a concern.........

Lots of "classy" Pens fans taking delight in Dubi's injury. Check out the responses to Portzline's tweets.
