GDT: Game 15 - CBJ at CHI - 11 Feb, 8pm

[ViD]

Shockingly Chicago is ahead of us winning percentage wise. Gotta put them back into their place with Detroit.

4 points or bust.

If not for two Elvis brain farts, we couldn’ve gotten 4 points last time. Now we have angry Laine, so I don’t see why we can’t do it.

 

[CBJ goalie]

I don't know why, but I have a good feeling about this game.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

The only benching I wanna hear about tonight:

 

[InfiniteElement]

A night without drama would be nice; a win would be even better.

Literally this.

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

I think this game is going to be 6-3.. a scoring frenzy. Not sure who is going to win.. Just kidding Tex pots 2 in his 9 minutes of ice time - Laine gets the other 4 goals for the good guys. Still love a good italian beef sandwich with au jus and hot giardiniera peppers.. but I can get a pretty good version at Loops in Grandview rather than at the corner bar in Elmwood Park.

The only benching I wanna hear about tonight:

What's the hockey equivalent to no runs, no drips and no errors?

 

[goblin3]

I think Laine will be good tonight! He knows he did bad last game and said something he shouldn't have said. I expect him to come playing with a fire under his ass and play his best game of the season, not only on the offense but also hitting and backchecking hard. Hope I'm right

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

How about a CBJ game with sustained pressure in the offensive zone, a bunch of scoring opportunities, and power plays that do something other than flail around trying to enter the zone. You know, like most other NHL teams.

 

[pled]

finally peeke playing damn it took long enough I hope he doesn't blow it.

also elvis been activated so I don't think Johnson will dressup

 

[Keduzin]

I would be surpised if Laine did not play his best game so far for CBJ. And I think the whole team will have a good one

 

[LoveCBJ]

Here's hoping our defensemen actually play like defensemen.

 

[Dessert Nights]

A night without drama would be nice; a win would be even better.

 

[Madifer]

Laine with a minimum of 2 goals or benched again

Imagine he scored a hattie, what would he need to do to get benched then? Or is Torts pure principles...

In this strike shortened season and every game a divisional four pointer I am scoreboard checking all the time. With the COVID issues unbalancing the games played, I sort the standings by Points Percentage. It just so happens that tonight:

• #1 Tampa vs #2 Florida: Go Bolts (not really competing with Bolts for playoff spot but Cats could drop)
• #3 Carolina vs #4 Dallas: please no OT
• #5 Chicago vs #6 Columbus: CBJ! CBJ! CBJ!
• #7 Nashville vs #8 Detroit: Go Wings

I think Laine will be good tonight! He knows he did bad last game and said something he shouldn't have said. I expect him to come playing with a fire under his ass and play his best game of the season, not only on the offense but also hitting and backchecking hard. Hope I'm right

I have a theory about this one. I have a football "group text" group and a hockey "group text" group. One guy is a crossover from both groups besides me but he is definitely a diehard Browns fan and a "Go Jackets but why don't draft picks play in the NHL right away" kind of hockey fan. He enjoys watching the CBJ but no hockey IQ test for him please. I have a point...bare with me...

So in the Browns group thread I usually posted a "24 hours to kickoff", "3 hours to kickoff", 1 hour to kickoff", etc. You get the point. So NHL season starts and in our CBJ group text he posts "1 hour to puckoff". He figured "kickoff...puckoff". That's where I gave him a face palm emoji and had to explain. Good intentions but "no".

This must have been what happened with Laine. He must have told one of the assistants to "puck off" and what he meant was that he wanted to be on the ice for the start of the game or perhaps the second period. It was all a complete misunderstanding. So all is good now, they "cleared the air" and no harm no foul. Laine will be back in the groove for the game tonight.

OK, I think the games goes off without a hitch, but Torts tried to fight Chicago's coach at the end of the game.

He only likes to fight coaches in Canada.

 

[Timeless Winter]

I hope Laine plays tonight.

 

[ViD]

I hope Laine plays tonight.

Will get at least one shift

What you on and, more importantly, are you sharing?
Hell, I'd take an improvement in only one of those areas with the way our games have looked this season!

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Yeah no shit. He hasn't coached here for years.

 

[MissADD]

Laine 1st period hate trick tonight!

 

[JacketLife]

I feel good about this one. Excited for Peeke to play after the media raved about him in camp.

At least two Laine goals. Let’s go!!

 

[60ntheville]

The only benching I wanna hear about tonight:

And you won’t stink!!!

 

[EDM]

J2F, Of course the game will go off without a hitch, he is retired !!!!

now having to watch the games on laptop instead of iPad as the iPad is now insisting I open up the NHL app to view the game -- even when I have nhl.com loaded via VPN



so tired of this sh*t
