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

[NotWendell]

I'd love to see us call up Sonny Milano if Sedlak remains out.

Caps down 3-0 to the Yotes?!?! This was the night to make up all of the ground but it's not to be.

 

[MFRONE]

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

Still created very few scoring chances. A cardboard cutout could have held the Jackets to 1 goal tonight.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

That's awesome

 

[MoeBartoli]

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

Agree about Bjork. He's young and with a limited sample size, but he brings offensive skills - puck handling and sniping - that this team needs.

Im with you and have been for awhile. Inject some skill, speed and youth that is looking to beat someone out for a job

 

[UNDBluejacketsfan]

Can someone remind me of Bjorks timetable for return?

 

[GoJackets1]

I thought we played really well. Shows that we can keep pace or surpass the pace of a cup-contending team.

However, we need to break this slump. To do that, they need to shoot. Just shoot the ****ing puck every chance they get. Get some bounces and rebounds and get the confidence back and we'll be good to go for the playoffs.

If they don't try that approach soon, then I'll be pissed/worried.

Not soon enough.

 

[major major]

I'm in the encouraged camp. Still worried about the offense, but they had better attacks this game than I've seen in a while. That's how it seems to go - there always seems to be a lag between the work and the reward, whether towards the end of a stretch of hot scoring or towards the end of a stretch of cold scoring.

It seems unfair that the Toronto clown gets two games and meanwhile the Jackets have missed one of their best offensive weapons for 2 weeks.

 

[Halfboard]

Holy ****, Davidge is pissed...

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I bet we get a point at least out of this game if it wasn't a back to back.

 

[MFRONE]

Can't wait for that Karlsson/Hartnell/Korpikoski line on Sunday. A Tropp/Campbell/Boll line could provide more offense than that.

ah memories......good times

 

[jackets4life]

Moving Gagner back to center would be a good start towards more offense...no one behind the bench seemed to be paying attention during those few games.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Did I just hear Hartnell has gone almost 30 games without a goal? Holy **** if true

 

[GoJackets1]

Yeah, I've noticed he's been stuck for awhile. Wasn't sure just how long it was.

Holy **** he hasn't scored since January 21st.

Really? We outshot Chicago 33 to 23 with Crawford posting a .970 save percentage. Not a bad save number. Now Chicago did have better scoring chances, but it's not like we didn't have a few. Like most here, I'm not happy posting a single, but too often lately we've not had this amount of time in the opponents zone.

 

[NotWendell]

Moral victories suck. We get no points for them.

 

[CBJfan4evr]

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

Teams figured out how to defend our PP. Not a personnel issue, more of a systems issue. We have not adjusted.

Which is exactly what I was implying.... not once did I say it's the personnel. Hell, I've been b and moaning about lack of adjustments for awhile now.

And Karlsson is 34 games last time I looked. Could be more.

It's 40. I just looked.
