GDT: Game 14 • CBJ @ ANA • 9:00 EST • November 4th, 2018.

[Cyclones Rock]

I know we have talent...enough that we should no way be this bad on the PP. At what point d the players revolt against what the coaches are preaching and say "screw it, we can scheme this better than you".

If it hasn't been done, I'd get the first unit together for a series of meetings to do just that.

 

[MoeBartoli]

I just got home and turned on the game to see it was a PP The first thing I saw was a Bread fan on a shot followed by Cam likewise whiffing on the shot. Is this how things have gone?

You saw the good PP.

I bet the coaches wish they would. If I were Torts, I'd just throw them out onto ice and say "forwards, go do something creative. Defensemen, cover their asses in case it doesn't work."

This is their Morse code for "Fire Larsen" Miss - wide - miss - whiff.

 

[Doggy]

Its not that we aren't scoring on the PP...we don't even get any shots, pressure, chances to set up in the offensive zone or scoring opportunities.

 

[SavesEmNot]

I found the perfect image to describe our powerplay:

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Dubinsky is having a very nice game.

 

[Doggy]

Dubinsky with some greasy, hard nosed hockey!

Before his decline, he was a very useful gritty player.

Still a big Dubi fan and believe he can contribute between his defense and face-off ability.

 

[MFRONE]

Another GA for the top pairing. Werenski with the great screen with his back to the play

 

[VABUCK]

Not much skating there by the Jackets just a lot of standing there watching the Ducks skate around.

 

[Doggy]

So much for getting the first goal of the game

 

[Doggy]

Rimer just said the Jackets will take that PP. Is he sure about that?

 

[VABUCK]

So what's the over/under on shots this power play?

 

[MFRONE]

Cam should never miss that chance

 

[MoeBartoli]

Not so CAMtastic on that one.

 

[NotWendell]

20 seconds before we even made it to the offensive zone.

 

[MFRONE]

Tons of open net and Cam shoots a CM off the ice directly at a pad

 

[NotWendell]

Not much skating there by the Jackets just a lot of standing there watching the Ducks skate around.

Lately, I find myself questioning our work ethic and courage. We always seem to gravitate to whatever is the most comfortable - the path of least resistance.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Not so CAMtastic on that one.

Sorry for not sounding positive. I’m actually quite content because we prevented any shorthanded goals - heck, didn’t even give up a shorthanded attempt!

 

[NotWendell]

Let me put it another way. This doesn't look like a John Tortorella team.

 

[MAHJ71]

Walked in from a cake tasting with the fiancé ... with 10 minutes to go in the 2nd.. just in time to watch two poopy power plays.

Then Fowler’s goal. That looked awfully like something we should be doing.

Can I just go back to cake tasting?

 

[MAHJ71]

Let me put it another way. This doesn't look like a John Tortorella team.

Is that a sign he’s lost the room? (honest question)

 

[NotWendell]

What a worthless interview.

 

[NotWendell]

One shot on the PP because they were barely in the offensive zone
