GDT: Game 31 - CBJ at PIT - 12 Dec, 7pm

[Doggy]

Are they all taking naps before they leave? Geez

Nobody should be tired, everyone but Korpi slept through that game.

 

[Fred Glover]

Big brother just beat us with both hands tied behind his back. Nice

With shackles on the ankles

 

[Fred Glover]

If we don’t care about the results let’s at least play exciting, not grinding boring 1 goal games

We don’t have the talent to play any other way than the way we are playing. We are incapable of playing exciting, offensive hockey.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Nyquist has 1 point in last 6 games

Dubois has 1 goal and 1 assist in his last 10. Should we just keep listing players who can't score? We'll be here all night.

I know Anderson, Atkinson, Wennberg, and others have been the primary whipping boys due to lack of production, and well deserved, but I am also very disappointed in seth Jones. While he doesn’t belong in this tier list of disappointing players, we expected him to be able to challenge for the Norris, and he hasn’t even been the best defenseman on the team let alone the NHL.

The only; and I mean the only, bright spot to this point in the year is Korpisalo. We knew our D was pretty good coming into the year, so at least that was semi on point. But my goodness this season is such a chore. They just refuse to play consistently, and this isn’t just a this year issue.

Gavrikov too

[CBJWerenski8]

Gavrikov too

sure, but we knew he was solid rather than a question mark like our goaltending. But yes, he’s been as advertised.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I think tonight is the night that marks the beginning of the end of the Torts era. Right or wrong, the players didn't care enough to show up tonight and he's clearly at wit's end to motivate them enough to do anything about it.

No. They could be heard practicing their new rally cry.... Kumbaya

 

[Cowumbus]

I’m honestly getting to the point where if I miss a game I don’t care and that makes me sad.

Didn’t even watch the game (knew we would lose). Took the pens in a parlay with Arizona. At least I won some money.

[Whispers]Take away his OT goals and he really wasn’t that great last year as well.[/Whispers]

[CBJ goalie]

Thought the team played pretty well, just couldn't bury the few chances they had.

Korpisalo is establishing himself as a starting NHL goalie, awesome to see.

No quick fix here guys, team is simply offensively challenged. Unless the scorers we thought we had wake up, we're doomed to a sub .500 CBJ this season.

 

[Kshahdoo]

I bet, they will fire Torts soon for "abusing players"...

Not sure if you’re serious? We played an AHL level offense team, yet we only had 17 shots, missed 3 breakaways and ultimately lost on a dumb penalty in OT.

I mean we had a good game by our goalie but let’s not forget they didn’t have Sid and Geno

 

[Ice9]

Playing to get your coach sacked

 

[CharlotteJacket]

A new coach hasn't helped New Jersey and they have arguably more offensive talent than we do. There may be a slight bump with a new coach, but we are what we are. This is going to be a multi year rebuild if everything goes right. Torts doesn't deserve to be fired, but I can see him retiring or resigning at seasons end.

 

[EDM]

I agree Jones has to b included on the list of under performers.

 

[EDM]

With Jarmo in charge & his penchant for unproven European skaters it could b a very, very, very long rebuild.

 

[DJA]

Thought the team played pretty well, just couldn't bury the few chances they had.

31 shot attempts to 68 for Scranton...we blocked more shots (25) than we had shots on goal....Dumb penalty in OT to seal it...3 on 1 against in the first 10 seconds..

Only mass quantities of alcohol consumed during the game would make anyone think CBJ played “pretty well”

 

[DarkandStormy]

Wennberg put up a straight goose egg in 10+ minutes last night. Every other player at least had a hit, blocked shot, etc. Not Wenny.

Well done, Jarmo.

Wendy pitched a perfect game!

They don’t need to make up an excuse. Just tell the truth. The team sucks and Jarmo failed him.

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

The overall effort last night was appalling. Korpi, Gavrikov and Sonny seemed to be the only players who came to play last night. Everyone else looked like they really didn't want to be there.
