GDT: Game 48: Columbus at Nashville | 1/26 8PM

Yeah. Perspective is key, but it still doesn't make the disappointment go away.

It does seem to paint black over the good times, though. Go, perspective!

More than "disappointment". The fact is this team is not playing well. The "inability to make a pass disease" has returned, as has the "who really cares about battles along the boards" flu, and the "look there is an open puck, I am sure someone else will get it" fever have all returned with a vengance. This team is not playing well.

I agree. If they were playing well and losing, well that's the way it goes sometimes. But when you play poorly that's a different story.

Teams go through bad stretches during an 82-game season. It happens. I'd be surprised if they didn't play harder after the All-Star break. Ultimately I think the Jackets end up as the first wild card team - the streak was great, but in reality they are probably in the 7-10 range in the Eastern Conference. Fortunately their play through the first half of the season was so good they have a nice cushion.

When did Nashville adopt the the classy "you suck" chants after goals? Has this always been a thing for them?

It has pretty much always been a thing. It's simply a chant to get the fans going. We don't really think Bobrovsky sucks. It's also a bit embarrassing when say we're down 0-5 and we're chanting that the opposing goalie sucks. But mostly, the chants are fun and create what hockey fans from around the league almost always agree is a great environment, so we continue it.

It was done by some dedicated fans trying to bring a "college football" atmosphere to a brand new hockey team in a market where they weren't sure it would stick. The fans were in Section 303, which was dubbed "the cellblock," a moniker which still exists to this day.

If you have a few minutes, it's really an entertaining read (or skim as you prefer):

Pretty cool, thanks for sharing.
