For a team that is looking to break through that bottom 6 is pretty bad. I get that a healthy Norris pushes Pinto down but still, thats a whole lot of meh.

 

[MAHJ71]

Let's get Hutchinson welcomed in with a road start, shall we?

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Sadly the CBJ Twitter lineups have Elvis starting...

 

[VT]

Couldn't anyone else play instead of Bayreuther (and Christiansen)?

A third line of formenton-pinto-joseph/Greig would be be pretty good.

Is Grieg just down in the AHL?

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

Just turned on the TV, heard Rimmer speak & turned down the volume. Radio is the way to go if it lined up better with the action

1,000 games for Brass

1,000 games for Brass

I've watched 1,000 NHL games. I am not sure what the big deal is

No one gave me a key on behalf of the city

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

And another thing - I don't like the liberties this singer is taking with the anthem. It's sickening that none of our US-born guys are asking him to go

 

[MoeBartoli]

Nice ceremony for Brassard

You must have loved Hendrix

Elvis standing tall early.

But Ottawa strikes first, 1-0 Hamonic a shot from high circle.

1-1 Roslovic immediately high glove shot from the top of the circle. Damn Rosie why you gotta fire up like this when it doesn't matter. Seriously dude.

 

[stevo61]

Were the fans really booing a no call when it looked like Stutzle tried to jump on Robinson's back and got thrown off

 

[Halfboard]

HE'S. FROM. COLUMBUS.

 

[MoeBartoli]

nice snipe by Ros……another late season “see I’m good“ run.

HE'S. FROM. COLUMBUS.

Yes! Rims is slipping as he failed to mention that for once

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

You must have loved Hendrix

I did - I still do! How did you know that?

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

2-1 OTT Pinto manages to get a breakaway pass and flips it high blocker, pretty nice. I wouldn't mind him on the Jackets like's been suggested elsewhere.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Laine gets blasted for bad turnovers but Johnny sure creates his fair share. And that was one of them

 

[CBJ goalie]

Yeah, Johnny doesn't seem motivated lately.
Long, losing season will do that.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

This Ottawa team is coming at us hard, they look pretty competent.

Elvis is gonna have a workout today.

Yes. They look really together in the offensive zone, cycling well and using good vision to make crisp passes

 

[ViD]

Shocking how Stutzle is twice the player both Laf and Byfield are
