GDT: Game 46: Columbus at Ottawa | 1/22 5PM

[The Jones Zone]

Thiessen has a .920 save % with Cleveland

they have to try something

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

I would rather have a piece of Swiss cheese as the backup. It might have less holes than Korpisalo or CMac

 

[TaketheCannoli]

Jarmo just picked up the phone!

This is good stuff. The team is competing when they fell behind by 2 on the road instead of folding like the past; exactly what they need to learn to do.

Jarmo is finding out what they have for the playoffs and he now surely realizes they don't have an effective backup goalie. He has until the trade deadline to find one. They are building a contender, they aren't a contender yet.

 

[MoeBartoli]

uh uh

Yep. Korpi wasn't going to be outdone!

 

[MephistoIV]

Zack looks like he's in pain. He's a trooper. Wouldn't be surprised if he sits Tuesday. His ankle will swell up like a grapefruit tonight.

 

[CBJ Alien]

Yes that is correct. I didn't believe in the team, and thats only changed slightly.

but it hasnt changed even slighty, you just said they are the same team as last year and the year before

Your rationality and wisdom is a breath of fresh air. <3

Stop being so rational. That isn't allowed in the GDT.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

I can't imagine they will make any knee-jerk moves. As stated before, this team is at the beginning of a window, no need to rush anything.

Agree wholeheartedly. This team ins't fragile but still competes when down. Unlike last year

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

I was going to suggest Thiessen.

Who's the ex-OSU goalie they usually bring in for training camp?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

No, i didnt.

 

[MephistoIV]

Is it me or does Guy Boucher look like a James Bond villain?

Also this: "Boucher has a prominent scar on his right cheek. When asked how he received it, Boucher said "it is not hockey-related. I did not tell anybody back home, so it is like this little enigma. My kids do not even know."

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

I think it's indisputable that this team is better than last year, both talent-wise and mentally.

 

[Fred Glover]

I'd go with BOB if this thing goes to OT

We'll know if the Senators are in trouble if he is weeping blood.

 

[CBJ Alien]

this game deserves a shoot out. no way we get past 2 minutes in OT if we make it that far...

 

[TaketheCannoli]

Stop being so rational. That isn't allowed in the GDT.

Sorry I am not in mid-season form because I've been avoiding them for a few years. I forgot the first rule of GDTs.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Calling it now, Dalton Prout GWG

 

[Fred Glover]

On the bright side, the way our backup goalies are playing, LV won't pick any one of them in the expansion draft

 

[Byrral]

I was going to suggest Thiessen.

Are you really suggesting a guy that has an AHL only contract that has flipped between Cleveland and Cinci as an NHL goaltender. Now I've heard it all.

 

[Fred Glover]

Calling it now, Dalton Prout GWG

Scored or allowed?

 

[MFRONE]

Perfectly okay with at least a point

 

[KJ Dangler]

On the bright side, the way our backup goalies are playing, LV won't pick any one of them in the expansion draft

Think that's precisely why Jarmo felt it was time to see what we had in Korpi and forsberg

 

[Fred Glover]

Say it with me:

WE WANT BOB
WE WANT BOB
