20 for Nick!

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Beat down. Yikes

Just need to get it on net with traffic. Puck luck sometimes there

 

[zelbell]

PP was threatening both of the previous times we got a PP

Only a matter of time until we scored one

 

[MFRONE]

Fo-lig-no

Shelley was so surprised at the PP goal that he couldn't pronounce the captain's name correctly

 

[zelbell]

Hopefully a performance like this can get us going again for the last stretch of the season

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

5-0 Leafs, Torts fights Babcock at center ice, Matthews demands a trade to the Jackets

I totally predicted this...

 

[EdwardG]

Jackets games during the week never seem anywhere near as energetic as the weekend games.

D has been much better this period. Good play.

Why did Bob not start? No back-to-back and no illness/injury means he should be starting. Korpi can give up a LOT of goals in not a lot of time...

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Last year Korpi stopped 41 of 42 shots in Toronto. Maybe Torts was thinking he could have their number?

Not by itself but it's a start.

That's what I thought two periods into the game at NYR on Jan. 31st...

I think Bob comes in if it gets to be 6-0...

 

[MAHJ71]

Feels like the most broken sticks I've ever seen in one game.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

My feelings on whether or not I feel bad for CMac...

 

[The Jones Zone]

Jenner with a great play....

Bjorkstrand doesn't have any kind of accent at all.

Weird observation

 

[major major]

Friedman saying in the intermission that someone from the Jackets (sounds like a player to me) let him know that his report on the players meeting with Torts has been misconstrued and that there wasn't any argument.

His family is Danish-American. I don't know how much time he lived in the states before juniors but he has some family in Minnesota.

Not weird. I noticed that too. The speed he speaks at is amazing too.

His family is Danish-American. I don't know how much time he lived in the states before juniors but he has some family in Minnesota.

His dad, Todd Bjorkstrand, is a hockey player from Minneapolis. Played 4 years at Maine in NCAA and then spent a couple seasons in the IHL, but then spent the majority of his career playing professionally in Denmark where I assume he met his wife? Or, at least that's where Oliver was born and raised.

 

[WannabeFinn]

In case you were wondering, Bjorkstrand's dad is basically the Gretzky of the Danish hockey league.

[MAHJ71]

Saw that one coming. Gassed/lazy in our own end.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Here we go again.

 

[MFRONE]

4th line on ice for both GA.

All Toronto scoring chances seem to have come from the forwards not playing any defense
