Boone is willpower

 

[Samkow]

We actually look like an NHL team this period.

Maybe we can bust the slump tonight?

 

[jackets4life]

THIS is CBJ hockey.

THIS is CBJ hockey.

 

[Columbus Mike]

We actually got a couple of lucky bounces those last five minutes. We need something like that to get out of this rut.

 

[Dednimnepo]

Beautiful ugly goal

 

[We Want Ten]

Why is it that every other team will take shots from anywhere in the zone and the Jackets try, try and try to set up a perfect shot that never works? Just shoot the puck! God knows that not shooting isn't working. Shoot blindly in the general direction of the net... you know, blind squirrel, yada, yada, yada. I believe this may be the most upset I have been with this team in all of the years that I have been watching.

Am I the only one that is thinking that perhaps the team and the prospects aren't nearly as deep as we had wanted to believe?

The problem is between the pipes. McBackup and Frosberg haven't gotten it done. 0-5-1 since bob went down. With a sieve in the crease, all the talent in the world would be wasted.

 

[futurcorerock]

Yes, yes it is

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Very good period

 

[blahblah]

CBJ! CBJ! CBJ!

Decent road period. Hopefully we're getting back to how we can play. Jenner is just incredible.

 

[Wendy Clear]

Yes, yes it is

Really, the problem with McElhinney isn't that he's a sieve, it's that he's made of rubber. Pucks bounce off of him like no goalie I've seen in years. This really isn't new. He had the same problem last year, but had the benefit of a better, more experienced team in front of him to clean up.

I hope he can somehow pull it together for the rest of tonight. The last save was encouraging, even if he still had no idea where the puck was.

 

[Jaxs]

This is the beginning.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Tyutin has now passed Sanderson and is tied with Brassard for 5th on the CBJ scoring list

Lets be honest here. We're both right. Ones that don't bounce off of him go past him.

I've been hammering CM about his rebounds a long time, check previous game threads. Its terrible.

 

[Jorge]

Wasn't he part of the Zherdev trade w/ NYR?

 

[WannabeFinn]

Wasn't he part of the Zherdev trade w/ NYR?

Yeah I don't remember if there were any other minor pieces but it was centered around Zherdev for Tyutin

 

[Robert]

Intermission OT.... The Rangers are unreal this season, Nash too..... I'm hoping the ex CBJ on that team go deep this season...

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Yeah I don't remember if there were any other minor pieces but it was centered around Zherdev for Tyutin

Zherdev and Fritsche for Backman and Tyutin

 

[Jaxs]

Former CBJ player, better start engraving his name on some hardware...

 

[Jaxs]

Zherdev and Fritsche for Backman and Tyutin

Ah yes!

They're not going very far unless Henrik is playoff Henrik again.

 

[Jorge]

I just remembered I could ask the interwebs. From CBJ site: " Acquired with Christian Backman from NY Rangers in exchange for Nikolai Zherdev and Dan Fritsche July 2, 2008" amazed

I cannot believe how long it's been. I was still with my scheming ex-wife!

 

[thebus2288*]

When was the last time a CBJ player hit another guy and actually bothered him? (aside from the Johnson suspension)? I seriously can't remember. This is like watching checking in the preseason.

Hartnell. Although it seemed to piss more guys off in here than it did the other team. Just like the JJ hit actually.



Where's our $10 million dollar man?!?
