GDT: Blue Jackets at Boston 12/17 @1:00. BSO and NHL Network

Its better than a turnover but almost everytime Sillinger gets the puck in the middle of the ice he heads back into his own zone. Makes it harder to enter the zone with control when you let the other team set up everytime.

I like the nastiness in this game.

It reminds me of when the Jackets sucked 15 years ago. The games were nasty. There were either fights or chippy rough stuff. Nowadays when a team sucks it usually is just a depressing two and half hours.

The good: competitive game, tank is on track(s)
The bad: too close to a W for my liking
The ugly: my Columbia gas bill

It reminds me of when Blankenburg and Danforth were healthy, the play before the whistle does

Their scrappiness is what I really miss. And each has some skill to go with it.

Absolutely, they're both self starters. They don't need their opponents to "wake them up" as much as many of their teammates do. Blankenburg especially.

 

[MoeBartoli]

i sure hope this doesn’t jinx him, but Tarasov has been excellent today.

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

Sillinger is out. KJ center now please and thanks.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Basically another PP goal.

 

[stevo61]

Well it was good for 2 and a half periods

 

[MoeBartoli]

Not good offensively + not good defensively = not good team

 

[Cowumbus]

Tarasov deserves better (I’ve posted this same thing in most of the games he’s played in)

 

[LJ7]

Bjork is getting better at the point

 

[MoeBartoli]

A a late Laine score! Man it’s hard to follow the puck as he hits it so hard

 

[LJ7]

This game fully made me a Berni bro

 

[Cowumbus]

Was that not a hook on Johnson?

50-7-24 always on the ice late in games when DOWN a goal

 

[Viqsi]

Well, we still are really short on guys who are actually good at forechecking, but at least they're getting to notice that our best games are when they actually try doing it.

Roslovic 0 Iq

Maybe even negative

 

[stevo61]

Man Jody. "I dont know why they dont pull the goalie while they have possesion behind their own net" go up ice and lose the puck instantly "the goalie is in the net, I like that"

Sometimes you get your own question answered for you quickly. Acknowledging it is better than acting like you didn't notice.

Roslovic 0 Iq

Maybe even negative

The contrast of him and this savvy veteran Bruins team has been a rough look for Roslovic

 

[NotWendell]

Here's another thing I don't like. You're down by two. You don't have time to set up the perfect play. If you score, you still have to score another one.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Roslovic 0 Iq

Maybe even negative

Despite his skills - which he has aplenty - its his zero hockey IQ that makes me believe he’s never going to be a solution….especially at center

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Saw the end, just as Laine scored on the PP. So positives are 2 PP goals, Gudbranson saved a goal, we didn't let in an empty net goal, and got almost the same amount of shots. Doesn't sound too bad against the league leader.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Didn't lose by 3+ goals.
