Columbus Blue Jackets: 2 regulation losses in the last 62 days.

[kthx]

How about last 63 days? Once again a Pejorative Slured statistic.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

In 4 of those losses he had a save percentage of 92.7 percent or better and allowed no more than 2 goals. He wasnt really even playing that poorly during his roughest stretch

Im looking at those games right now and there’s only 2 games with +92?

One loss was when he came in relief in the SO, but thats offset by the time he was pulled in the 1st period & that loss went to Korpi.

But yeah, im not saying he was just straight up garbage. Although, Torts didn’t trust him in the end before Korpi got hurt.

Such a likeable team overall. Would love to see them go on a deep run this year. Let's hear that cannon!

Nothing against Columbus, but can they go on a run and leave that ****ing cannon in a soundproofed bunker.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

*But still tried to.

Just wanted to put it in perspective that Jarmo did in fact try to re-sign Bob at least two separate times.

I think the amount of effort he put into re-signing him was about the same amount of effort I put into hitting the snooze button in the morning.

The cannon cannot be so easily contained.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

They bore you to death

 

[Kamiccolo]

Reminds me of hte Islanders last year. All bought into the system, might win a round, but the lack of high end talent will stop them from every truly being a cup threat.

Doesn’t make much sense but props to them. Torts running away with Jack Adams.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Florida 1 pt back Leafs 2 games at hand on Leafs.If Bob shat the bed then Anderson owns the bed.

Cool?

 

[BrockLobster]

Good for them. Have fun with mediocrity panarin.

That's going to be a battle with Sullivan and Pittsburgh IMO. Not content with being our closest rival geographically, they also opted to be our closest rival in somehow succeeding through injuries with guys you've never heard of as well.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Torts is a good coach. Imagine that.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Only team to beat Columbus in regulation for last 2 months is?

The Sharks.

Columbus didn't look bad in those games, either. Sharks just worked hard and played smart.

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

Still a chunk of the season to go, but karmically and comically this feels nice.

They went all in last year. Some respected it. Some mocked it. Many (myself included) would not have seen them quite where they are now. Huzzah.

 

[CoachWithNoTeam]

How about last 63 days? Once again a ******ed statistic.

I assume 3 losses, which is probably still best in the league over that period.

 

[Dirty Dan]

Torts is crazy, CBJ is supposed to be a team like ottawa. Lost their stars and is in the dumps

 

[Anisimovs AK]

Remember when he was criticized for drafting PLD over fellow Finn Puljujarvi? Good times.

Such a likeable team overall. Would love to see them go on a deep run this year. Let's hear that cannon!

Two things I was incredibly wrong about. The drafting of PLD and hiring Torts.

Ive never been so happy to have been wrong

 

[CupsOverCash]

I'm not surprised. They looked amazing against TB in that series last year and it wasnt because of the guys they lost in free agency last summer. It was because they worked their ass off and played disciplined in their own zone. Were very opportunistic as well. If they can score goals in the playoffs nobody is beating them.

 

[D1az]

I don't get how they are that good. They have Jones and Werenski and apart from that defensive pairing I am completely clueless as to how they are doing this.

 

[ImNeverWrong]

Seeing bob play like trash before and after torts makes me conclude that he was a product of the cbj system. Elvis and korpi might be as well but they're sure as hell cheaper. Well played jackets. Wish they got assets for bob though.

I really hope Bob serves as a major warning sign for managers in the future, no matter how desperate they are.

 

[lottster14]

Very under the radar team and this is a group who believes in themselves. Them managing to sweep Tampa last year wasn't only a choke job, but a jackets team who really stepped the f*** up and earned that upset.

Torts is still one of the best coaches as well

 

[ImNeverWrong]

Yup. And I'd like to correct myself. Bob had a few good seasons before torts while on the jackets...but I think I remember cbj being defensively sound for a while.

Getting real Steve Mason vibes from Elvis.
