GDT: Game 31: Columbus vs. Washington 12/18 7PM EST

[blahblah]

Rimer wouldn't agree with you and neither do I... How do they call back Jenner goal earlier in the season but not this one? It's completely up to Toronto and they said 'eff cbj'

Rimer isn't a smart man and one of the biggest homers on the planet. I would use him to support anything if I were you.

I didn't say anything about consistency, but watching this game... It's pretty damn obvious the refs didn't give it to them. We did.

 

[Doug19]

If Jenners goal was a kicking motion while he is getting upended, that Caps goal is a kick too...

What is a kicking motion then? He directed the puck with his skate, moving his blades inward toward the net as the pass came in. If that's not a kick then the Jenner goal was not either. No consistency...

Dude, even so, don't you think it is possible that they were wrong that time, but got it correct this time (which they weren't wrong)? By the rules it was a good goal, get over it.

 

[LooseCannon]

Now that you remind me of it, I can remember that Jenner disallowed goal. Jenner definitely had more of a kick than Brouwer.

Because he got upended........... You're trolling right?

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

Let's move on from how tonight's game ended and look forward to Saturday. The road to the Stanley Cup, in my eyes, truly begins with that Blackhawks game. The Cup will be ours this year. It is destiny, written in the stars.

Nope. My opinion is that Jenner had more of a kick than Brouwer.

 

[EspenK]

Well, GameCenter crapped out on me with about 1:30 to go. By the time I got it back it was game over.

I kind of agree with aRussian in that we looked a lot like we did in the 7 games streak. Big difference was Bob let in a few softies but not that much different imo.

A break here or there and that 7 game streak could have been a continuation of the losing streak.

In my opinion this is not a very good team right now. The injury excuse is still in play but it is less a factor than it was.

Where have you gone Ryan Johansen? Blue Jacket nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

Our offense, as i mentioned earlier in my MFRONE impression, is terrible. How can the same guys who work the puck so well to have the 5th or 6th best pp become so inept 5v5?

At least the 4th line now has a goal.

Chi,Nashville, Boston & Minnesota left for this homestand. Still make or break time imo.

 

[Socks]

Ok I'm over the DKM goal and am back to just enjoying that game. Glad we got a point. Need to tighten things up for the Hawks. And Bob needs to shake this one off.

Well you're not going to like the results. I see a max 4 points out of that group of games. It's not make or break time in December. That would be in February.

 

[major major]

I agree that this game was a lot like the previous games. We won the other games because of Bob, and he had an off night tonight.

Why are we so bad 5 on 5? Because we basically have Nick Foligno and then a bunch of rubes out there.

 

[Doug19]

Could also have something to do with the fact the head coach has his head in his rear and won't change up the lines.

 

[db2011]

It would be really, really nice if Joey got his moxie back

 

[MAHJ71]

Bob had to come back down to Earth sometime.. tonight just happened to be the night. A point is better than nothing.. on to Chicago!

Now Johansen? Who knows... he's been absent for quite some time now. An assist here and there is not going to cut it.

He won the Pitt game and also Detroit... Huge in the shootout

 

[Jyrki]

IMO this is one of the problems in this team

TOI/G

Corey Tropp: 7:26
Jared Boll: 7:32
Michael Chaput: 10:41

Despite the injury wave, neither Boll or Tropp have even earned the trust to log more than marginal minutes, and Chaput is getting his minute due to lack of options. Technically, none of them figure to be on a 100% healthy lineup but that's where losing DMac hurts and even Comeau, while paying Boll as if he was a guy who you could trust to play like a full roster player. Part of the reason why we're getting crunched 5v5 is because Richards can't really roll four lines and the 4th line's job goes from wearing down the opposition to "for the love of god don't get scored on"

 

[Fro]

was waiting on the "losing DMac lost us this game" so I could get my BINGO

 

[db2011]

The missed slash really irks me

I think Chaput's looked a lot better since his callup; he'll belong on a healthy team.

 

[NotWendell]

That first period just killed us. One of the worst periods I've seen the CBJ play all year.

 

[NotWendell]

Glad to get the point, but son of a B you gotta want it. We can't shut down an opponent to save our lives.

That's a good point. How many goals have we given up in the last couple of minutes of regulation this year?

It has been a staple of this franchise that dates back to its inaugural game.

Ringworm.

Nah, TR's first couple years that hardly ever happened.

 

[NotWendell]

Nah, TR's first couple years that hardly ever happened.

I also recall last year, if we had the lead going into the third, we rarely lost.

 

[EDM]

Johansen is a disgrace. Let him wear 61. I thought we got rid of the moody, half arsed superstar. He should be put in the press box, not even invited to practice. Let Wennberg replace him. Other than some lost face offs, there would be no difference, other than that Wennberg plays better d. There is no worse insult I can give beyond suggesting he should be replaced by Wennberg. Joey is truly terrible. Okay, no pres box, then put him on the 4th line with Boll. that is all he deserves.

At one point, not less than 10 feet in front of me, I watch Joey actually put on the breaks to reduce the impact of his hit on a Caps guy. To call it a hit. is a gross exaggeration. More like he was coping a feel. But he literally broke down his speed so that his "check" was nothing more than a soft nudge. Joey is actually hurting this team during regulation. He is outright terrible. If I am Jarmo, I am looking to trade him while he is at peak value. Joey has become a friggin joke on the ice.

LS....if you seen them play a period worse than the first one tonight, I am glad I missed it
