Why?Has nothing to do with just that goal.
But come on, he's been miserable this game. The Jackets cannot play any type of offense if he needs THAT much help.
Ok.... I needed that... Thanks.this will be my only post in this thread (I honestly just don't post much anymore) but...
the last time we lost our home opener, we ended up making the playoffs (we also started that season 2-3-1 in the first 6 games)... just sayinnnn
okay, carry on.
How did Nyquist look in his debut? What was the line-up (I didn't see one in the 1st 11 pages of the thread).

Thanks majormajor, I've never visited the CBJ board before, but I wanted to check on our old pal Nyquist. You guys/gals will like him if he's used properly. Does the GDT usually have the lineup in it or ?Not bad at all. He had speed but it was a crazy high-energy physical game and he doesn't tend to stand out in that kind of battle. So much so that I think Torts might have forgot about him tonight. Nyquist didn't play much, only 10 at evens.
His linemates were Wennberg and Bjorkstrand.
Thanks, I noticed that on the stats, just wondered how the eyeball test looked.12:38 TOI. No shots, -1. Didn't hear his name called once.
He didn’t want to play here, remember? We all would love to have him, but he didn’t want to have us.The Rangers have this guy, I forget his name right now, but maybe Jarmo can make a call

Great passing, couldn’t score. Can’t stop the puck. Great effort. Maybe we can give them a participation medal? All in all, the bottom line is zero points
- The passing plays were really impressive tonight. I usually say that's the weakness and the shooting is strong, but it was the other way around tonight.
- The Jackets actually had the better of the "expected goals stat" tonight, just reflecting that they got a lot of scoring looks in dangerous areas. The Leafs, to no one's surprise, don't need as many opportunities.
- I don't think any of those goals on Korpi were bad goals. Not a good night overall, but Matthews regularly beats goalies from that spot. And Korpi was screened off the puck on the other ones. That's more of a team issue than a goalie issue.
- The effort level was really impressive. Do the haters on this board play hockey? Because I'm watching this game and I'm blown away by some of the diving (e.g. Dubois) and other effort plays they're making, and I come here and all I see is people moaning.
- Foligno - Jenner - Anderson were all amazing. With the number of golden looks they had it's pretty frustrating that they couldn't beat Frederik Andersen (or the posts). Easily the best 3 Jackets tonight. Passing and playmaking even, I didn't expect it.
- Bad night for the D-men. Maybe the opening night nerves (or the bad ice) got to them but Nuti and Murray especially were playing with hand grenades out there. Harry looked bad except for one great pass. Werenski obviously got burnt / turnstiled / Marnered.
Which is amazing because they held their own and, in fact, Lilja was noticeable on the ice (in a positive way).Torts being Torts by playing the 4th line less than 10 minutes again.
Korpi’s save percentage last season was under 90%. Tonight, it was 86%. Find all the excuses you want to justify playing him
I don’t care if the opposing team shoots lasers, stop the puck. You are getting paid to stop the puck. We had a goalie last year who did it.

Sorry, not into moral victories. Pro sports is about results.The bottom line is more than one game out of eighty-two. I'm looking for how the team develops over the long run. And there were some good things. If you're so fragile you can't see past one night that's on you.
