[Hello Johnny]

Now Bob's trade value has plummeted.

Because UFA goalies have SO MUCH VALUE lmao

Gonna be at least 7 or 8 before puck drop methinks.

I think the problem is Elvis thinks he's Bob.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Went too deep for you. I'll keep it simple from now on

I would say the puck has already dropped

I like how he looks right up at the end of your post.

Now there's a metaphor writer worth his salt.

Are they still going to play tonight? I thought the Bob controversy would consume all.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

I was supposed to go up to the game tonight, but backed out as I'm "hockeyed out"-been to 4 games in the last 6 days. I'm going to be very interested in how the TV and radio guys handle this. I hope Rimer can at least identify the suspended player as Bobrovsky.

As reflected in other threads, I am not a fan of Jarmo. But to try to pin this situation on Jarmo and JD is unfair to them. From what I assume, Bob is wants a long term deal, maybe 7-8 years at $9-10 million per year. I understand Bob wanting that kind of a deal. But I also understand JD and Jarmo not wanting to give that to him. Heck,I would be outraged and yelling for their heads if they give him that kind of contract. I think most people on t is board would feel the same way.

Now if Bob would take $ 9million for 3 years, giving time to groom Elvis as his successor, I think Jarmo would have already written up the contract.

The fact is this is a business dispute. It is not personal. Bof wants the most money he can get over the longest term and JD and Jarmo do not think that would be in the club's long term interest. If Bob is making this personal, that is on him.

As for this recent disciplinary action, I really do not know enough about what went on. Kind of like last year when Dubie was mysteriously removed from the team, I don't see any name calling here. To me the club is handling it well by saying nothing about it.

It's not during the course of play, so he should probably be fine. Unless Jody brings it up while there's folks on the ice, in which case all bets are off.

You're right that it's ultimately Bob's fault for making things personal. I wish he was handling it better. But it's never wise to treat people as anything other than people, i.e. don't expect anyone to react well when their work is maligned. Give me a meditating monk and I'll show you his ego.

I've been upset with the FO for a while now for throwing Bob under the bus after the playoffs, discussing his psyche publicly, etc... They prodded him in a way that wasn't helpful. They might be right not to make a huge commitment to Bob for the long term, but now we might have other problems, no short term goalie and no chance to get anything for him.

Hockeyed out? Last Friday we went to Raleigh to see the Jackets suck in the 1st and never recover, then we went home and back to Raleigh the next day to watch my son's team play 2 games then back home to watch the Jackets play FL. I watched 4 games in 24 hours! 4 in 6 is easy.

But I think it has been proven that Bob is fragile in the playoffs. Not every loss is on him but he sure contributed. In the big games you need your best players to be your best players and he has consistently not been a world beating goalie in the playoffs. Maybe his ego will not let him see that, I don't know because i am not there, but it sure seems like it. To be successful in the playoffs the Jackets need Bob to steal one or two games a series and play well in the others. That has not happened.

Undefeated on Thursdays.

I'm a lightweight. LOL

Basically wasn't into the driving tonight. I'm planning on going up to the game Tuesday vs. New Jersey.

Riley Nash with the natural hatty and Korpisalo turns back 57 shots in a 8-0 CBJ win.

Johansen must be LHAO right now.

I think the Jackets tie an NHL record for consecutive Thursday wins if they beat the Nashville's tonight. Yes, apparently they keep a stat like that.

Was pleasantly surprised logging into my PSL account and finding lower bowl seats to tonight’s game from doing survey in December. (I sold my normal seats on TM). Looks like a pretty good crowd tonight. College football must be over.

Everyone wants to see Korpi.

Anyone troubled with Torts comments about Duclair? In his interview, he had several quotes I thought were a little bazaar when talking about an NHL player. First being:
"Up and down, like a toilet seat. Work in progress. He’s coachable, but he has a long way to go. You can see the upside, so we’re going to keep on working with him.”
Second:
“I just don’t think he knows how to play the game. But he needs — absolutely, right from the bottom of how you play in this league — to be taught, and that’s what we’re trying to do.
Is Torts being a little dramatic and hyperbolic? Or are we a team that needs needle in a haystack reclamation projects who need significant overhauls for us to be successful?

Wennberg with two shots on his first shift. More of this please.
