GDT: Game 40: Columbus vs. New York Islanders | 1/10 7PM EST

[Samkow]

That looked bad.

 

[Jaxs]

Surprised Wiz got away with that.

 

[Samkow]

Say All-Star one more time Jeff and Jody

 

[Robert]

No matter how Jeff, Jody or anyone else spins it giving up 9 (8) goals in two games is bad hockey.....

 

[DarkandStormy]

Let's tank. Closer to 30th than playoffs.

 

[ndd17]

Let's tank. Closer to 30th than playoffs.

Absolutely agree. Need tanking.

 

[EspenK]

 

[Robert]

I missed most of the game but saw that 5th goal.... horrible... Wiz was bad but Bobs reaction was worse....

 

[major major]

Let's tank. Closer to 30th than playoffs.

This game might have converted me. We aren't supposed to be as good as the Isles, but we're not even in the same league.

 

[JKG08]

It's getting harder and harder for to keep watching full games. I've been switching the channel early a lot more often here lately.

 

[Robert]

The run in December was all-star quality.... It ended in January going 2-3 so far, not good enough to get into playoff position... And we have gotten injured players back too...

 

[ndd17]

Parade of penalty. *** ref.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

The playoff push of December was fun, but this team has regressed to its talent mean.

 

[Robert]

As I said I missed most of the game but I saw the 3rd and 5th goals... both bad goals by Bob yet Fox gives him the third star? And with a SV% of .87?? Wow..

 

[aRussian]

"Playoffs" was taken for granted.
I hate that many of our own seem to think we'll make it that far.

After 3 season of super-**** starts, I'm hoping it finally bites us. Not that I want to see CBJ do bad, but that I want us to quit thinking it'll be easy to recover.

I want CBJ hardcore hockey every game. No more of this crap "we'll pick it up later" crap.

 

[ndd17]

And we have gotten injured players back too...

Return current, there will be new injuries. Our carma. And more, we will be with Bob four years.
Get used to him instability and his new injury.

Dude, your ****ing negativity is beyond this world.

STOP IT ALREADY!

 

[We Want Ten]

Bob's been bad the last couple of nights but he's the least of our problems imo.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Jackets can't get the puck out of their own zone. Bob can only stop so many shots.

Not feeling optimistic about a playoff run.

 

[Theo Von]

Mark Letestu: -13 corsi at even strength... worst forward corsi. Dubinsky was a +7. What a difference.

Brock Nelson: corsi leader for NYI. +14.

I love the Corsi.... please tell Fox Sports to use it..... Jeff? It's time to moneyball dude..

 

[NotWendell]

We're slower and less skilled. And Bob hasn't been godlike to cover our deficiencies.
Not a pretty sight the past two games.

 

[EspenK]

Not a pretty sight.

Good point. For a team that was supposed to have gotten faster in the off season, we have a way to go to become a fast team.

 

[MAHJ71]

Well.. glad I missed this one. Company holiday party..

And count me in the tanking camp. I have the worst gut feeling we'll continue to try and make a playoff push that most certainly ends with us coming up just short and missing out on top talent in the draft.

 

[Robert]

Good point. For a team that was supposed to have gotten faster in the off season, we have a way to go to become a fast team.

I think we actually are a fast team, when we want to be.... One thing I noticed and the Rimer/Shelley crew mentioned it too if I recall.... Cam Atkinson and Matt Calvert are not what they were last season..


The CBJ can be the best in the league when goaltending is superior and the team wants to win.... Coaching cannot cure all problems but they must bench players that don’t play with heart, other players than guys like Tropp and Boll... Neither Tropp nor Boll are responsible for losing the last two games, bench someone else Todd...
