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

Minus the Mono.

That and i'm sure he knows he's allowed to wear custom goalie pads

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.

Bob was trash before Torts? Huh?

 

[TheAngryHank]

Did they play Detroit for 62 consecutive days?

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

Ive never been so happy to have been wrong

I was bullish on PLD; IIRC my favorite comment that day was "we've gone off the board with high picks to draft a center unexpectedly before, and it turned out well then". The Torts hire, OTOH, had me briefly jumping on the Fire Kekalainen bandwagon, and in retrospect was one of the worst calls I've ever made.

Getting real Steve Mason vibes from Elvis.

Believe me, we all remember that very well. You'll notice that no Jackets fans are making dramatic pronouncements about his future career, for example. We're sticking to cautious optimism.

He corrected himself in a later post.

Implying we would have lost to Detroit... twice.

That is insane, congrats to the team for playing so well despite the roster losses from the off season.

depends. Did you make a thread about it?

Narf.

It'd be funny if the Rangers and Panthers miss the playoffs this year. But Columbus is looking pretty solid thus far.

Seth Jones to the IR, out indefinitely. Ok Torts, show us what you got.

We just called up a dude from CHL to play 2RW. Surely we ain’t afraid of any obstacles

This has to suck for the Blue Jackets but I think they will pull through it.

There's a J word again. Like these threads, it needs to stop.

Literally the only word of the english language that I won't use.

Yeah, nothing to do with 3 goalies having between a .942 and .947 sv% for 2 months.

 

[ZenOil]

Happy for them. Weird how some teams get better after losing their offensive stars.

 

[GOilers88]

Steve Mason vibes.

 

[LGBlues]

Is there a coach getting more with less - I hope the players like Torts a little because he is doing a great job.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

No more Jones, should be a big blow

Steve Mason vibes.

Steve Mason was 21 years old, fresh out of juniors, and didn't know how to deal with the success he got at a very young age in the NHL. By his own admission, he kicked his feet up after his rookie year here and didn't try as hard until he got traded to Philadelphia.

Elvis is 25 years old, has been playing pro hockey for 7 years. He played in multiple international tournaments against men. From the looks of it, is a very hard worker. Dealt with adversity when he started out 0-8 as a starter.

In what way is Elvis like Steve Mason? The only similarities are they play under a stingy defensive coach, on the Blue Jackets.

You don't often see a rookie goalie come in and post that many shutouts. That's where my vibe is coming from. Gear down, turbo.

Every one is trying to.. but this team is one thing .. resilient. Should be interesting the rest of the way. Probably stick with all the same players because Trades arent going to do anything. Should get some starters back. It could be worse lol

 

[jetsforever]

Very surprising, Elvis has been great though
