GDT: CBJ vs NJD

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Here is my philosophical question for the night.

Is it really a power play if there is no power?

 

[major major]

Here is my philosophical question for the night.

Is it really a power play if there is no power?

And is it a man advantage if there is no advantage?

So Wennberg really upped his game and did not have a point? Ok. sure that seems like defensible reasoning ???????????????????????

He actually shot the puck 3 times tonight. So yes, that's upping his game.

 

[NotWendell]

Since Riley Nash's number is 20, my nickname for him is now Double Wennberg.

Looks like the Metro is starting to heat up. Everyone is winning out of division games it seems. Good win, but I'm a little concerned we're morphing back to last year somewhat by only scoring one or two goals but with a ton of shots and good scoring chances.

Pittsburgh was always going to make it back in. They have way too much talent. As long as we can hold off NYI we should be okay (they lost in regulation).

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Jackets only scored more then 2 goals once in the home stand. The offense is absolutely terrible right now

It's coming back to earth. They aren't as good as their first 25 games suggested

 

[onetimerguy]

Bjork and duclair are rolling right now

SO that must explain why Bjork gets benched again? Last for TOI for the game for the forwards. Still should trade him if he's not going to be used.

Your bias is confirmation bias
Your bias is belief bias

I'd presume that the only basis for your assuming Wennberg Sucks would be his point scoring, but you've blithely dismissed that in the past as well. If you want a goal-scoring #2C, that's different from insisting over and over that Wennberg is terrible.

It's coming back to earth. They aren't as good as their first 25 games suggested

Your bias is negativity bias

As has already been pointed out, the defense has improved at the same time.

Yes but is the defense getting sorted out? It's much improved on the homestand. (This is not meant to counter the notion that scoring needs to be better.)

Has the "Safe is Death" philosophy been scrapped or just undergone a major tweak? Just throwing that question out there.

Per Torts on Bob Mcgelligott's podcast, they are still a safe is death team. If you wanna hear him talk about it I believe it was yesterdays game day podcast.

and get to play Pittsburgh once again.

The stake has to be driven through the vampire's heart at some point. I just hope I live long enough to see it lol.

Yes. The two are not mutually exclusive. As u well no.

It's not a philosophy, it's a catchphrase.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I just didn't want anyone predisposed toward the negative to think I was dismissing concern about scoring with my bit about the defense.

Don't worry. Be Happy.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Don't worry. Be Happy.

I'm not so much worried as acknowledging gray area.

Still, thank you. And Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hit him in the skate. He missed.

"Missed" what exactly? This isn't bubble hockey.

Maybe Hannikainen could have had his stick in front of him or actually used it to accept the pass, instead of him USING his skate. The pass was a little hard but that's on Hannikainen to understand its gonna come off his skate hard if he wants to use it like that.

Try again.

 

[thebus88]

Murray’s missed pass sent them the other way on that goal. Have to hit that pass

What about that attempted poke check , eh?

You don’t need to score to have played a really good game.

Try again.

Hannikainen is coming in off the right wing, Murray wisely slows down the play by looking off the center lane drive to go to Hanni, Hanni doesn't change his speed nor his stick position, and Murray knows he's coming. Murray misses, and the resulting bounce off the skate is what causes the turnover to lead the other way. I'm sorry, but it's on Murray to hit that pass. He's wide open and doesn't change skating speed or stick position, he wanted the puck directly on his forehand, not in front of him.

What about that attempted poke check , eh?

I'm not even sure what you're getting at here. Jones'?
