GDT: Game 28: Columbus at Philadelphia | 12/5 7:30PM EST

Calvert is a fan of the bigger net idea I'm guessing

 

[ReggieRed]

Two-game point streak!

Seriously...nice effort tonight. Need to build on it but I've seen no indication that we are anywhere close to consistent enough to reel off a long win streak.

He'd be awesome on the Crew.

Great game by everyone, top to bottom. Last night's loss isn't to bad now when you look at it as 3 out of 4 points. Keep it going.

Good win. D looked sketchy early, but overall a good game.

I continue to be impressed with Bodnarchuk.....the kid is solid.

Hasn't looked out of place at all.

of course, whenever we win, everyone around us in the standings does as well

I have not looked at the standings one time this year. I'm probably much happier for it.

I thought the D looked great all game, great minutes in the O zone especially in the first.
what was sketchy or terrible in your earlier post?
just wondering what I am missing

They were sluggish and making those awful slow passes they tend to do. IMO it took about a half period to get up to game speed. By that point we had a 2 goal lead and it was pretty much over.

Biggest surprise performance of the night?
Prout didn't totally suck.

good point , don't like slow puck-movement gives the opposing team a chance to set up

I only screamed out at him once! But he made a few good plays tonight.

He definitely had a solid game... Credit is due.

Nice bounce back game. I don't know how well Torts is going to do here, but the interviews are very refreshing.

I don't think anybody here HATES Foligno. We're just disappointed how badly our team captain has been struggling this season. Nobody expected him to replicate last season, but nobody - including Nick Foligno - is satisfied with his results prior to tonight.

There's a good range of opinion here about Foligno. Some of us still appreciate all the little things he does, others want to ship him and his contract out of town at the earliest convenience.

If I had to put two forwards out there in a critical situation, it would be Foligno and Dubinsky. And that answer hasn't changed in a few years now, despite all the ups and downs.

Count me in that camp as well. No matter how many points are scored, in my eyes the intangibles Dubi & Foligno bring night in night out are very important to this team.

 

[blahblah]

I'm not going to judge the new captain this soon. He's adjusting to his role.

 

[major major]

Joey has no speed, but his hands and feet are crazy good.

Correct, he doesn't use much speed. But the funny thing is he's one of the faster players in the entire league, if he tries.

I second this. He seems to be good at everything back there.

Bob has been .950 since November 13th.

 

[The Four Seven]

I had a prior engagement tonight but I loved what I saw in the highlights. If we string together two or three more games like that in a row I think it would do wonders for the outlook of the team, and help them get back some of that magic from last season.

 

[WannabeFinn]

say what you may about the streakiness of the team in front of him but Bob has been playing like his Vezina-winning self since Torts got hired
