GDT: Game 33: Jackets at Buffalo Sabres | 19 Dec 2023, 7 pm ET

I said this in the other thread (the shake-up thread): This team, because of youth, is wildly susceptible to momentum. When it's going bad, they're powerless. But on the rare occasion when they're blowing off doors, they can certainly ride a wave.

Laine looked good with Johnson, he may not fit in with the forwards regardless though. I would hate if his jackets tenure ended with him never playing with a RH point man on the PP though.

I'm just thinking from a cap standpoint we can replace what he brings elsewhere and we'll need that extra space in a few seasons.

 

[KCbus]

Five-goal lead... most dangerous lead in hockey.

 

[NotWendell]

I might feel confident in the third with 10 goals.

That's about what it would take for me!

 

[Doggy]

Pronman gonna have to eat his words on Chinny.

 

[Bobcat205]

I really should feel secure about this, but i've been burned before.

If former Cincinnati Cyclone Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen keeps playing the way he's been playing, though, then maybe i'll calm down.

We don't need him.

Pronman gonna have to eat his words on Chinny.

He won't. He'll list him as "might play NHL games" for another few seasons and then forget about him.

 

[Viqsi]

Pronman gonna have to eat his words on Chinny.

He never will.

Make that a six goal lead...

7-1 CBJ Kuraly. Great feed by Kuraly, hope he gets it going too. Early Christmas gifts for everybody today.

 

[ViD]

Marchenksow?

 

[Seedtype]

Wow, I'm literally shocked lol.

 

[NotWendell]

THERE WE GO!

 

[Viqsi]

Okay, we're up by 6. Everybody can relax now.

 

[KCbus]

Kuraly with the extra point.

 

[Seedtype]

What a frickin pass.

 

[ViD]

Third period 7-7 going to OT

It also partly explains why the team looks like a contender one night just to turn around and look like an echl team for the next month afterwards. They haven't learned to not get caught up in the highs and low, you gotta find that middle ground. Celebrate while your in the rink but after you walk out it's on to the next game. It's a long season and the real grind doesn't even start until April.

 

[MoeBartoli]

The dreaded five-goal lead.

Yes, but a 6 goal lead on the other hand….

 

[NotWendell]

Okay, we're up by 6. Everybody can relax now.

Nah. I want payback for the Tage Thompson show.

 

[majormajor]

That was an odd man rush goal to counter an opponents pinch. That's what we need to see when we're holding leads. Dangerous counterattacks.

 

[Bobcat205]

We've committed a Brazil.

 

[Viqsi]

Nah. I want payback for the Tage Thompson show.

I didn't say folks can walk away content, just maybe worry a little less.

 

[majormajor]

Nah. I want payback for the Tage Thompson show.

I hope the players have that in mind tonight. We need some more goals.
