GDT: Game 3: Columbus vs. Dallas | 10/14 7PM EDT

[We Want Ten]

Can we have a do over on the Hartnell trade? Guy sucks

I don't understand why the guy is down by the crease with his stick waist high. He stood no chance of getting a rebound in his position.

I'd still rather have him over RJU.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Also think it's a little clearer that Dano and Wennberg need to head on down when Jenner and Dubi return.

damn tough crowd. Just yesterday they were seen as pillars to the team here to stay, one day later and...

not by me, they weren't

 

[Robert]

Tough loss, the Jackets came close to setting a franchise record starting out with three wins.... Need to get that scoring by committee going....

 

[hossua34]

well deserved ass whooping

Well deserved ass whooping? We outplayed them in most aspects of the game. Lethonen was just sharp and lucky in the third, and we didn't take advantage of our golden opportunities (like the Atkinson breakaway). We're not going to win every game, and if we're losing in regulation, I'd just as soon have it be to the Western Conference.

The overall feeling I have coming away from this game - albeit a loss - is that this is going to be a fun season.

Lets be real here. Umberger wouldn't have done any better tonight and frankly has sucked for Philly so far this year.

I wanted Wennberg down from the start. Dano looks a bit more comfortable then Wennberg does

 

[WannabeFinn]

Wennberg definitely should go down before Dano

I didn't think they would win tonight simply because all the hype I kept hearing about a franchise record 3rd win to start a season. I didn't have a good feeling. Too much hype for a meaningless stat.

I disagree aside from Dano being able to draw more penalties. Wennberg looks real good.

What game where you watching? We got blasted out of the building in the 1st, part of the 2nd, and almost all of the last 15 minutes of the third. Cam's breakaway and Wennberg's chance were the only opportunities we had in the third.

 

[Dednimnepo]

Their captain beat our captain.

I think they outplayed us handily. The Stars had way too much room to move around. They could have won 7-2 if not for Bob. Their first line absolutely dominated our second line.

 

[major major]

I agree. When Wennberg had a chance in front his reaction was "Holy **** I have the puck". I say send him down, let him get his confidence going in Springy.

 

[major major]

So the Stars stars had ridiculous room to maneuver out there. I think we got outmatched personnel wise, but maybe also with strategy. There's just no way that amount of space should be available.

 

[db2011]

Was pretty pumped seeing Joey even it up. But yeah, Dallas deserved that one. We couldn't hang for long stretches. Our depth is good but losing Dubi and Boone was exposed a bit tonight.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Good game boys. Y'all schooled us there in the 2nd.

Best of luck until we meet again.

 

[EspenK]

Well you can't win them all. What struck me again was our lack of an offense.Not goals, an offensive system. Joey's goals were a pretty good individual move and a poor stop by Lehtonen. I think he stops it 80-90% of the time. His second was a tap in off a rebound. What I fail to see is the "system" in place to get guys open in the slot or anywhere for that matter to receive a pass for a shot. Its dump, forecheck and hope it bounces somewhere a guy can get a shot. I personally hate that system because when it doesn't work like it didn't tonight we struggle mightily.

And while not ready to write him off yet, I'd like to see Hartnell do something other than deliver a couple of hard hits per game. So far I'm in the we should have complianced Umbie and tried to sign someone with skill camp.

 

[blahblah]

No we didn't (out-played them). We deserved an ass-whipping; but as you pointed out it wasn't one.

Now on to my take on the game...

We came out flat. The Stars weren't that good. We were fighting ourselves most of the game. Dubinsky and/or Jenner would have been a welcome addition tonight. Bob was pretty good, but not great. We came out a bit flat in the 3rd.

Really we just beat ourselves.

On to my last comment. I don't like Savard in general and didn't like him again tonight. Hell if I know what he was doing on the second goal.

 

[NotWendell]

The hitting and forecheck was not existent in the first period. We recovered in the 2nd, but had already spotted them two goals.

We've hit more posts in three games since Beetlejuice was here.

 

[BF3]

Just got back to from the game-

Arrived late, Dallas was already up 2-0 by the time I got in, so can't comment on the first 10 minutes of the first period. Looked bad in the first, much better in the second and pretty bad in the third. The third Dallas goal looked like a softie from where I was sitting. It seemed like half the team didn't show up, so that was dissapointing. Pretty good crowd for a Tuesday game vs Dallas.

Looking for the guys to rebound Friday against the Flames.

 

[SCB502]

Has Jack Johnson been on the ice for every goal given up this year?

 

[WannabeFinn]

Every goal except for Seguin's empty netter, yep

 

[Sdrawkcab321]

Tough loss tonight. But it's good to see Johanson knock off the rust early.

 

[jackets4life]

Just a poor game. Dallas wanted this one so much more than we did, and it sucked seeing that, especially in the first period. Bad passing, bad outlets, bad through the neutral zone, bad along the boards, bad o-zone entries, just piss poor. Really decent crowd for a Tuesday, but wouldn't be surprised to see them taper off again with efforts like this.

One thought from me: Why does Richie entrust Prout with so much TOI, to me he sticks out like a sore thumb on defense, really struggled again tonight getting pucks out of the corner and effectively up the ice. We need #27 out there as soon as possible, I think the team misses that guy more than Jenner and/or Dubi, key as they may be to success.

 

[JrussJacket]

Guys, Its game #3. Yeah we got outplayed for periods in this game. Gotta take some positive out of it though. Johan getting on board, Bob playing well! Liked seeing Foligno step up and fight Benn. We will be fine. Back at it on Fri with a much better effort.
