GDT: Jackets @ Pens | 7 PM EST

[CBJWerenski8]

Since the 2017 playoff series in which Pittsburgh beat us 4-1, the Jackets have only beaten the penguins 3 times (!!!). One of those wins was last year when the penguins quit after being eliminated by Chicago. But however, there was an over 2 year layoff between games because of the COVID season.

The jackets have not beaten Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh since 2015.

Will the historic dominance of this one sided “rivalry” continue tonight?

Ugh. Do I watch this or play my guitar?

Play guitar while the game is on mute in the background, obviously

pascal vincent will earn back a modicum of my respect if he tells his guys to let emil bemstrom pot 5 goals tonight

Lol, remember when Bemstrom scored in his first game as a Penguin, and we got all excited about our draft pick going from 6th to 3rd?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Ok, so Voronkov is on the 1st line - this should quiet all of those that have complained about him not getting enough minutes lately.

I'm going with Big Brother to continue the domination.

Hahaha good one.

i mean, he still hasn't gotten enough minutes lately, so i'm still gonna complain about it

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Hahaha good one.

He's clearly been resting him up for this moment.

 

[YP44]

No Nylander revenge game?

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

5-2 Pens because the CBJ hasn't won in Pittsburgh since the Obama Administration.

The Pens might outscore the Pirates today.

I had some idea that this would be a great opportunity for Bemstrom to get to play in the top six there, with the Guentzel trade and some injuries. But nope, he's spent the entire time in the bottom six, usually with Acciari and Eller.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Wow! Neither player in that blockbuster deal are playing tonight.

 

[MoeBartoli]

No goal but a good attempt by Voronkov.

 

[Jovavic]

You'd think they could accidentally win more than two faceoffs in a period

 

[NotWendell]

Given that the first period is our best period, what are we thinking for a final score? 4-1 Pens?

 

[NotWendell]

Olivier scores! Or will they waive it off for a high stick?

 

[MoeBartoli]

Olivier - really nice plays….good goal. Drop the puck!

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Looks high

 

[MoeBartoli]

Looks high

Wrong!

 

[squashmaple]

If it takes that long to decide if it’s high or not, just move on and let the call on the ice stand.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Wrong!

I think I’m like 0-13 this year. I still think it’s high though

 

[MoeBartoli]

I think I’m like 0-13 this year. I still think it’s high though

I had faith that Toronto would never screw Columbus

 

[MoeBartoli]

That PK didn’t last long
