GDT: Ottawa @ Columbus | 7 PM EST

- Start date
Debating finding a cheap single for tonight vs going to see Dune II. Leaning toward the sand worms.
It be more expensive to go watch Dune tonight. I am so annoyed I had work responsibilities to do Tuesday instead of heading to polaris for cheap movie day.
Anyways...
"Soon you will see things with Columbus more horrible than you can imagine than just getting decimated by injuries and taking away players from Cleveland"
*Looks at the Pens getting their entire truckload of bobbleheads stolen for tonight's game as their team craters before the inevitable long term rebuild (until they are gifted #1 picks in 25/26)*
"Ok well maybe not that horrible but still pretty bad"

Dune 2. There’s still 16 games or so left in the season you can go to. Dune was meant to be watched in the theatre
Dubas certainly took a job in hard mode. The conditions on their first are crazy. They can choose to keep it this year in the top 10 but risk losing a very high pick next year if they do, like what happened to San Jose in the first Karlsson trade (and also Ottawa in the Duchene trade). It's grim either way. Not that I'd be sad to see Pittsburgh impede their own rebuild, but eesh, what an ugly predicament for them.

I’ll be pulling for the Jackets but if Elvis gets bombed again I certainly won’t care. His comments in Porty’s column today just about seals my unfavorable opinion of the guy - his attitude along with his inconsistent play.

Here’s the excerpt that got my attention, focusing on the second and third paragraphs:
Elvis didn’t deserve to come out, whatsoever,” Vincent said. “But sometimes you make decisions for the team, and unfortunately at that time, it was the only option.”
Merzlikins concurred. He took the blame for only one of the goals, he said.
“I definitely do not see what more I could have done, except maybe that one-timer shot (by Slafkovsky),” Merzlikins said. “That was my first shot of the game, literally. OK, I’ll take that. But the other two goals, I have no answer for you, because there was nothing you could do.
Games like this tonight against Ottawa are the games CBJ fans live for. Since we're long removed from any playoff scenario, all we have is to finish with as bad of a record as we can and hopefully that will get us a great player.

I mean the Columbus Blue Jackets. And it will help the young players. Certainly more than permanently tanking, draft new toys instead of working with own young players.I see you are now quoting Pazzy.

He's not wrong.
If you want to talk about bad goals, that Jenner goal that Forsberg missed was egregious in my book. He never tracked the pick and just slid by.

Not my fault - which basically is what he's saying - isn’t an inspiring answer to me.
