GDT: Game 36 | Jackets @ Senators | 1/3 7pm

[ColumbusTrill]

PP looks worse with Laine on it tbh

Seriously. Look how much our opponents skate with the puck and move on the PP. We just stand in the same spots and expect a lane to magically appear

 

[Cyclones Rock]

With tonight's loss, the CBJ will have gotten 5 out of possible 30 points in their 15 road games. That's a 14 points pace for the entire road season.

That is a strong Tank stat.

 

[Grouchy]

No shots and an EN SH goal on the PP ... What a DOA POS.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Horrible game. Maybe I missed a bright spot among all the stench, but - serious question - did any Jacket have a decent game.

Korpisalo had some decent saves but I really can't pick out anything good.

 

[Doggy]

And people seriously think that this kind of horror can just abruptly vanish like nothing at all is wrong as soon as we Draft One Guy.

I don't know the answer to your question. What I do know is playing well down the stretch and playing ourselves out of a real shot in the lottery has never equated to being an improved team the next season. So I am not opposed to trying something different this year.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I'm about 95% sure I'll need to give up my quarter season ticket plan after this season. Part of me isn't sad about it because of how bad we are. Another part of me will be sad to have to bail out if was actually end up having Karma finally go our way and we somehow miraculously land Bedard.

I was in NJ/NYC area last week and went to see the Devils/Hurricanes game on Sunday. So much offensive talent on that team they are fun to watch. Just sucks they lost Marino to injury and have some defensive and goaltending weaknesses right now after Vanecek came back to earth and Blackwood just sucks. There just doesn't seem to be anything fun to watch about the CBJ right now.

 

[VT]

Now explain to me why Laine was playing? They couldn't let him rest? Although he was playing very well for his problems. I liked the Roslovic and Sillinger lines.
I won't comment on the game.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Yup, it sure can .. team has some quality wingers and absolutely no play down center ice . Hard to have an affective offensive with that makeup . Bedard #1c, KJ continues to grow and gives you a great #1, #2, down the middle .

This is precisely why Jarmo and JD need to go. Now. When long term STHs find the product to be so bad that they are seriously considering dropping their tickets, it's time for a change.

 

[Viqsi]

Yup, it sure can

If the team is truly this bad there is no such thing as a single player that can make it that much better. It's literally not possible. Even Crosby couldn't do that alone for the Penguins.

 

[VT]

i try to be a fair guy. I call out Laine when he looks disinterested or struggling with effort, so it’s only fair to do it with Gaudreau as well.

He looks defeated. Going through the motions. Not dangerous.

Honestly, Johnny looked terrible.

 

[Columbus Jack]

To be fair we wouldn't know what the team looks like with Bedard and a competent coach.

One thing is for sure, the roster construction at least defensively, ain't it. The whole team right now is unwatchable but it stems from a shit defense.

I mean I agree but that isn't the reason I'll probably be dropping my tickets. I'm just going to be extremely busy over the next year and I no longer have a seat partner for games. I'll be going to the rest of the games on the plan this season by myself most likely.

He sure sparked that turnaround though . It’s not like Pitt was winning games when they were lucky enough to draft him . No debating the turn around that occurred after he was drafted

We keep destroying player morale like this and we never will.

Except for the part where it required multiple moments of fortune in rapid succession.

 

[ViD]

Anyone feeling bad, sad, disheartened, disappointed etc, go watch Bedard, Michkov, Fantilli highlights and imagine them wearing a CBJ crest. That’s a good remedy,

Maybe you are right but for once I would like to try it.

Don't bother. We're not getting any of them.

 

[Viqsi]

I think doing that would destroy what possible chances of hope anyone currently in the organization still has.

 

[ViD]

Don't bother. We're not getting any of them.

It’s going to take a ridiculous set of circumstances for the Jackets to pick outside of top 4.

The Lottery will find a way. It always does.

Agreed Larsen needs to go. Shocking we haven't even heard rumblings, nothing from the FO. Bizarre

 

[ViD]

The Lottery will find a way. It always does.

We have Larsen to ensure the best odds

Agreed Larsen needs to go. Shocking we haven't even heard rumblings, nothing from the FO. Bizarre

Don’t y’all touch Larsen until the end of the season.
