GDT: Game 77: Columbus at Chicago | 3/31 8:30PM

[CharlotteJacket]

Better our offense go stone cold now. There's time to get the swagger back before the playoffs.

tick, tick, tick…

 

[MFRONE]

You can't ***** at others for not shooting (like Cam) and then ***** when someone finally shoots.

Yes you can. When there is a guy wide open for a tap in goal and you have no shooting angle...don't shoot. When you are skating in alone on goal with the goalie back in his net shoot it

 

[db2011]

I'm in the worried about the offense camp.

What's happened to Cam??

Wennberg?

 

[Ceff Jarter]

+good on face offs
+good third period so far
+haven't given up a short handed goal.. yet

 

[MFRONE]

Just not seeing how not scoring now means this play won't carry over into the playoffs

 

[JacketFanInFL]

So with the inevitable ENG against, an unfortunate loss.

 

[aRussian]

Another where we post 1 goal. Neutered.

 

[Grouchy]

Well, poop

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Why even pull the goalie??? We cannot sustain offense.

 

[MAHJ71]

Night folks...

 

[db2011]

I know it was a better, competitive game, but I'm starting to really get upset with this offensive ineptitude

 

[NotWendell]

This is what we've been saying for two weeks now though...

There's nothing systemic, not like we've lost any skill. It's all confidence.

 

[stevo61]

so many stupid forced passes and no urgency. Literally pass it into the zones where the Hawks are collapsing to

 

[We Want Ten]

There's nothing systemic, not like we've lost any skill. It's all confidence.

I think missing Bjork hurts pretty bad. He was a breathe of fresh air before getting trucked.

 

[MFRONE]

Bag skate the entire team tomorrow.

Can Torts call up half the Monsters forwards and scratch Saad, Hartnell, Wennberg and Cam?

 

[MoeBartoli]

Last 8 games goal totals:

1-1-3(EN)-1-1-2-4(OT W)-3-2

Need to break out tonight.

Above Updated to last 9 games....that said, they had more offensive flow tonight.

 

[Halfboard]

Jeez, according to Jeff & Jody it's all rainbows & unicorns....

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Stop pulling the goalie.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

Actually outplayed the Hawks more than not do it's unfortunate to get the L.
Apparently Bob needs to contribute more offensively.

 

[MAHJ71]

There's nothing systemic, not like we've lost any skill. It's all confidence.

Sure... though the power play does seem to be more than just a confidence issue.

 

[SuperGenius]

Yes you can. When there is a guy wide open for a tap in goal and you have no shooting angle...don't shoot. When you are skating in alone on goal with the goalie back in his net shoot it

 

[MAHJ71]

Bag skate the entire team tomorrow.

Can Torts call up half the Monsters forwards and scratch Saad, Hartnell, Wennberg and Cam?

LOL.. and I thought I was angry.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

In all likelihood, Chicago is your Cup Champion. We played them well, except on offense.

 

[We Want Ten]

Eh, Hawks have lost once in regulation in their last 11 games, Carolina had like a 12 game pt streak going. Schedule has gotten tough and the team has not done so bad. The PP is my biggest gripe, its terrible.

 

[EdwardG]

I'm not sure that I'm concerned about offense generically. They played hard but sloppy tonight, whereas a lot of these games the last two weeks they just have been sort of managing the effort level. This is the hardest they've played in a while and they lost to a very fine team in their barn.

What I am very concerned about is the PP, which has been a problem for a long time now. They keep aimlessly passing the puck and I suspect they keep trying to set up those tip plays that they pulled off in 2016 but not since. Tonight they just start taking a bunch of shots from the blue line, about 3/4 of which nailed the boards because they missed the net. GET PLAYERS ON THE MOVE.
