GDT: Game 39: Columbus vs. Dallas | 12/29 7PM EST

[The Jones Zone]

can you give up 3 goals and be #1 star?

I say # 2 or 3 probably

Mac been great tonight

 

[blahblah]

It was a mixed bag, but I'll take the effort every night. Still too sloppy.

Glad they gave the fans something to cheer for; good crowd.

Only saw the final 13 minutes but in those 13 minutes, CMAC played great. Assuming he played well all game even though he allowed 3 goals? Also in those 13 minutes, defense did a good job clearing rebounds, blocking shots, and boxing players out from getting rebounds.

 

[Dednimnepo]

I'd give CMac the first star. He played great.

Yeah he played very well. Had some huge saves.

This .. And for us right now, we've gotta appreciate and celebrate these few and far between good moments - lol

 

[NotWendell]

The team REALLY needed this.

Mac been great tonight

If he isn't the #1 star I will be amazed. He made some great stops- without him we lose like 7-5.(7-4 without Niemi's *****)

 

[EspenK]

Hope Sam watched. It wasn't necessarily a well played game but it sure as heck was a fun game to watch.

 

[NotWendell]

The Captain really showed up tonight! Good on him!

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Good win. The efforting was much better tonight.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Dubinsky with three assists

Very nice

Almost 16K in attendance. Good crowd

 

[KJ Dangler]

Amazing how this team plays after getting embarrassed by local press, and Torts . This is by far not the worst team in the league .

 

[KJ Dangler]

Btw, Wennberg is going to be an absolute stud . Man is he improving

 

[Derby]

On the road home from the game. Are the tv guys saying anything about Matty's injury? He looked really hobbled. Knee? Hope it's not serious.

 

[The Jones Zone]

My star for most underrated performance goes to............











Dalton Prout, even the 1st goal that bounced over his stick at the blue line was a tough play, and 51 stood in front of the net doing nothing when he could have stopped it

I thought Prout was really good tonight. He had a ton of big hits. He's too big and strong to give up on now. This season is lost, Prout needs to be on the ice every night and let him develop. You can't teach size, but Torts can teach hockey.

What Dallas' guy did to Saad would have been a penalty in international play.

Ironically that was the Russian ref who made the call on Saad... Evgeny Romasko.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Cmac was outstanding

 

[We Want Ten]

I'm not as high on Cmac as most everyone else, but he played his best game of the year when we needed it. He also made some big saves when it was critical. I was hoping joey would get a goal, I thought this was one of his best games early on anyways.

If this team just played smarter they would be so much better. They definitely played faster and the passing looked much better, epically from the blue line guys.

I hope we see this team more in the new year, they're a lot of fun to watch.

 

[Jaxs]

A for effort. Fun game to attend.

 

[jackets4life]

Well at least it was a fun night at the rink!

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Dubinsky with three assists

Very nice

Almost 16K in attendance. Good crowd

Phew!

I was worried the Monsters would outdraw the Blue Jackets.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Much needed win.

Psychologically if nothing else.

 

[major major]

Great game from Saad, Foligno, and Dubinsky. And most importantly Joey is picking it up. I wouldn't call it a great game on his part but you can tell he's getting closer.

 

[Nanabijou]

Good game. Very happy for CMac, Foligno and Joey, who all responded with good games.

Now if only that effort had been consistently present this year.
