Don't congratulate everyone on this board. Cause for some of them every Jackets win is a wasted opportunity to complain.

Can they play dubinsky's goal a few more times? They've shown it like 6 times. Our players really need to shoot more. One 2 on 1's and just when entering the zone in general. Shot low and at the pads. Dubinsky needed to shoot on that 2 on 1 and he needed to drive in and make a move on that breakaway. It seems like everyone spends to much time thinking instead of reacting.
To me every win this year is one less win next year. (hopefully I'm wrong, but I really want a top 5 pick this season)
I finally saw the Dubinski that NY Ranger fans talked about and the Foligno that Ottawa fans said would emerge with Columbus. The sequence on which Foligno just shredded the Ottawa defense with some nifty deeks was out of this world. No goal was scored, but it probably was the prettiest offensive play of the game. The kid has some skills. Looking forward to watching him develop into a top 6 player here. Same with Dubinski.
Wiznewski's came off hard work in the corner
Foligno's move on this goal was as good, if not better, than his end-to-end rush. He deked his man so hard the guy actually dropped his stick! His pass to Vinny was perfectly timed and perfectly placed, and Vinny one-timed it to perfection. Ecstacy!
The thing that impressed me most was the fact that four of the six goals were the result of SKILL! Dubi's was hard work, tenacity, and effort; Letestu's was a bit of a Wilbur Wood Special.
Missed the game and am catching up by watching highlights and reading here. This was my take as well. Sick play by Foligno.

Had to look this one Pete. Now a Phil Niekro or a Tim Wakefield reference, I would have got.
That's why I used Wood, Jaxs, part of my Oldtimers' Education Program!
OK, so I was old, last night, and didn't make it to the game. I missed the fun of being there, but got to enjoy the advantage of controlling the video replays for myself!
The thing that impressed me most was the fact that four of the six goals were the result of SKILL! Dubi's was hard work, tenacity, and effort; Letestu's was a bit of a Wilbur Wood Special. The others:
Goloubef's was a nice, quick, quasi-slapper off a great feed from DMac,
Nikitin's was a sharp slap-shot from the right spot, through perfect screens,
Wiznewski's came off hard work in the corner, a good feed from Brass, and a one-timer,
and, the best of the night:

All-around good game. Can't blame Mason for either goal (didn't see the first, the second was a perfect feed/shot) and the defense kept the Sharks outside and harassed them all over the ice. It will be interesting to see if this was just a mirage or if they may be getting more confident and comfortable with each other. No miracles are to be expected, but I'd sure like to see them build off an effort like this.
The best part about these two showing up tonight, was that the rest of the team joined in with them.
