GDT: #42 Blue Jackets at Tampa chainsaw massacre. |1-8-19 7:30 PM

[MFRONE]

Somebody needs to put out an APB on Cam’s offensive game

 

[Jaxs]

The wheels came off quick.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

I think we are clearly a step below the crème de la crème of the NHL

 

[CBJWerenski8]

We almost competed for a full period with them. High marks

 

[MoeBartoli]

What we have here is a pretty good team playing an elite NHL team.

 

[Madifer]

I hope Torts destroys them during the intermission

 

[aRussian]

Tampa has multiple times had a 3rd guy wide open. Forwards lack of defensive play is going to get us murdered

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

I hope Torts destroys them during the intermission

I hope he puts Korpi in and he leads us to the Promised Land

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Good on PLD for the buzzer scrum.

 

[MFRONE]

There was 0 reason for Bob to play tonight

 

[aRussian]

I hope Torts destroys them during the intermission

I hope Torts doesn’t turn to heavy drinking after tonight’s game

 

[Doggy]

My biggest fear tonight. I’d show up and the CBJ wouldn’t

 

[Cyclones Rock]

I hope Torts doesn’t turn to heavy drinking after tonight’s game

He may do it during.

 

[CBJMiddleGround]

The Blue Jackets are a total middle ground team. They can slap “okay” teams and Bob plummets against really good and bad teams

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

He may do it during.

He may be drunk right now

 

[CBJMiddleGround]

Tort’s words just go in one ear of the players and out the other he has no influence

We haven’t slapped anyone around, though. High scoring games don’t necessarily equate to dominating; we have rarely controlled play at opportune times. Plus we have the reputation of playing poorly with a lead (not playing up to the level we need to). Too much complacency

 

[Madifer]

Florida has let 2 shorties against Pitts in a span of 6 minutes. My point is: it could be worse.

What was meant by slapped is played like an elite hockey club and looked like they could get somewhere in the playoffs. And it is a fact that the Jackets can’t finish off games.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

The Bolts could beat the Warriors at basketball. They’re that good.

 

[Fairwhether]

Our passing is slowing us down. At least 4 passes that period were behind Panarin forcing our most creative player to turn around and retrieve rather than attack.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

FSOhio’s production crew is god awful

That and we seem to pass to players on their backhand too. No PP 1st period but the pass speed is always close to my top gripe. Slow passes allow other team to maintain positioning instead of opening up holes

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Unlucky penalty on Duclair.

 

[MFRONE]

How is that a penalty? It was complete accidental and the goalie was out of the crease
