Z is hurt so they are playing him sparingly, Nuti is just coming back, JJ is playing his worst hockey of his career and Savard has been playing like he was before when he was super lazy and the CBJ nearly cut him. Not saying Cole hasn't played great since being here but that makes by far the most sense for #2 on ice
No Savard has been really bad this season. Better since the TDL but Savard went from great value contract to I hope other teams think he's a great value RHDso maybe Jarmo can fleece someone. He used to be dominant with JJ but bad with others and now he's just been bad with others.
He's done some questionable things this game but after Gudas last game against us I'm ok with it. But as a Philly fan I would have been furious especially for the hit after the goal from behind. That was a hard shot.So much hate for him from Philly board. Love it.
Z-Jones
If he plays like he did tonight against them I'll let him grab a camera and interview me in a white room with a black leather couch and I won't even expect to make 1 thousand to 5 thousand a day.
While I appreciate the concept of your post I think it is very unrealistic, in fact impossible. for them to achieve the records you suggest. Not even Gretzky's Oilers could pull that off. 
Pish tosh! Rubbish! Nonsense!
As a Buckeye fan myself... it hurts because it's true. (It's likely a significant part of why I'm occasionally unduly harsh towards pessimistic folks here.)
You're right. We shouldn't acknowledge him for those big saves; rather limit our comments to flogging him when he's not playing well.
Last year JJ and Savard were the most dominant shut down pair in the league. With NO PP time but playing PK the were both +30 range. For not playing PP and playing PK and also playing heavier minutes in leads and getting all the D zone starts you start to see how dominant they were base on that +30. ESPECIALLY after our PP stopped working and our scoring dropped exponentially. To keep a + that high... People say that's a dumb stat but use it in the context I just did and it paints you a beautiful picture.
Last year... go look at the numbers and come back before you look silly again.
Yeah, except when you realize +/- is a stat that is only kept during even strength...
Interesting article on our defense, and how to proceed this summer. In a nutshell Nutivaara is a beast, and a must sign, same with Ian Cole. Now Ryan Murray
Some tough decisions loom this summer for the Columbus blue line - The Cannon
Honestly I don't know why I was thinking otherwise... point still remains haha. They were dominant as a shut down pair.
Looking back, I probably didn't word my comment correctly. I know Bob is great, but people say without him making great saves, we'd be in trouble. Can't you say that about every team? Bob is supposed to make big saves for us. Name a SC contender with an average goalie.
Fair to say we've all had our share of in the moment player judgements. just a few weeks ago, Jarmo should be fired, our team only had a couple players that were the core, our organization doesnt have much talent in the farm system, etc. Torts needs to be fired, yes guilty as charged. Amazing a 6 game winning streak changes our perspective on the team, and organization as a whole. Also, Kudos to Jarmo, for the moves he made at the deadline. Cole was an amazing pick up, Vanek has been pretty good, and Testy shores up our 4th line.
Have to keep it real. Im not a fan of Cam, with Bread, because I think Cam is a much better scorer than passer, but for anyone to say Cam is not worth his contract , is foolish . I would like to see Bjork, or Milano on powerplay with Bread , just a couple times, because no one can ever set him up, like he sets players up all day, with that cross seam pass.
