GDT: Game #48: Nashville at Columbus 4/27 7:00PM "Deliverance"

[SuperGenius]

just got back from the game. amazing atmosphere.

idk if this has already been posted, but did anyone get a video of the pregame intro with the song "started from the bottom" by drake? i thought that was awesome, and was a perfect way to bring the team out.

They should eventually have this up on bluejackets.com.

bluejackets.com has that up in the multimedia section of their site.

Great atmosphere, packed house and Chris Mason almost stole the game as he'd made 40 saves before our first goal.

I could not be more proud of this team, which has shown they can turn it up when the heat is on. We did every thing we could, but luck was not with us.

I am really, really looking forward to next year. I suspect those who gave up their season tickets are having second thoughts because this is a much better team than our playoff team.

Go Jackets!

Not a Hockey Town my ass.

We only had one or two quitters this time, people just couldn't handle it and started saying they were sure we were going to lose. That happens most games here, actually.

well thats absurd


this team has loved getting punched in the face then coming back this entire run

 

[Sore Loser]

Next year will be a wild ride...

That's what I tell 'em.

TW..........thanks, knew you'd deliver on the pickles!

Did it just for you my friend.

 

[Timeless Winter]

So even at close to 3am, I'm still sad we didn't make it, happy about the season overall, and heartbroken for the whole team that deserves to be in the playoffs. That's killing me, our 20 guys that busted their ***** don't get a chance to play in the playoffs, crushing.
All those emotions at the same time, yeah I know it doesn't make sense.

 

[Timeless Winter]

Man. That was a real hard loss to watch for your club, but I guess you can't count on the Avs for anything. Your future looks bright, so chin up. Good luck next year.

Next season, Jackets. You guys have earned a new fan - that was one of the best games I've watched all year.

Wish you got in to put the hurt on the Hawks...Minny isn't a playoff team right now.

Oh well.

Congrats on a great season guys. Way to play it out til the end! Wish you would've made it in instead of the Wild.

We are so many over at the Devils board that were cheering for you, feel sorry for you guys but you're my number two team from this season and on. You have a good future ahead of you, thanks for an amazing run.

Wild fan coming in peace.

I feel sorry for you guys. You deserved to be in the playoffs. Keep your head up high. You can be proud of your team!

Go Jackets!

Sharks fan here. Was really pulling for you guys to make it. Keep your heads up, no one in February would imagine you would be fighting for a playoff spot. Good luck in the future!

Thanks guys

If you haven't seen it yet, this is the disallowed goal that cost us a playoff spot.

Horse ****

As a 20-something year old male, I don't know if this proves that it's an obsession or not, but after Atkinson put in the empty net goal to make it 3-1, that marked the first time I've ever cried at a sporting event. I've never been so proud of a team before, especially after defying all odds after January and from the media. This was a lot of fun, and it sucks that I have to choose a playoff team to root for.

Was watching it and the ref clearly pointed to the goal as they do when it's a good goal. So probably not much playoffwork for that ref.
Anyway proud and sad still after some sleep. But also very optimistic for the future.
Good to finally be able to say <3 the Jackets!!

Not the best video but it looked to me he was skating and it bounced (not kicked) off his skate. The big fubar is that the ref told Toronto it was ruled no goal after he pointed at the net as in "thats a goal" and then changed it on the phone.

I can't get too mad at that. The ref at the Jackets game pointed at the goal when the Preds kicked it in. The other ref and the linesman huddled as he skated towards the phone, then the Jumbotron played the clear kick. By the time he had reached the phone he had changed his mind, because he also said "The ruling on the ice stands, no goal."

Yeah it was a lot more obvious than the Avs goal, but it was the same situation.

Hi guys, I just wanted to say that I'm a Cleveland native so going into last night had me pulling very hard for both the Wild and Blue Jackets. I wanted Detroit knocked off but it seems like no matter what, that team is going to make the playoffs for the rest of their existence.

Anyway, I can't wait until next year. I get to pull for the Wild and Blue Jackets much more easily being in separate conferences. I hate how last night came down to such drama and tension. If we both would have won just one more game Detroit would be sitting. It sucks.

I can't wait for next year!

I saw no fubar. The officials overturned the original call. We've seen it that same thing many times.

Was that a good goal? Not sure. However, I am going to watch that game because I heard of other shenanigans during that game.

Good 'cause I'm in it.

I feel bad for this group of guys. They dragged us fans into a playoff chase and we loved (almost) every minute of it. I was on the edge of my seat (when I was in it) all game, and screaming and cheering and cackling like a crazy person. Couldn't help myself. Saw QY mention tears of joy. Yeah, I had those too. Unreal. That's what this team did.

I believe the franchise has turned a corner. I believe that the same ol' Jackets are gone. That's the other thing this team did. But nothing is guaranteed. That's the other reason I wanted the playoffs right now.

What a crazy mixed-up season. And what a long-ass offseason, I expect.

It is the storyline behind the CBJ. Uphill battle all the way. I know it's not true but every time one of these incidents happen it feels more and more like a good ol boys club. I think we've all been there at some point in our lives; so I would suggest that when we finally kick the door in on that good ol boy meeting the naysayers will be shocked and Screwed. That will be a sweet day boys. With this group including players, managent, fan, even support staff we are getting there. It felt last night like that wave of momentum is finally reaching critical mass to push us over the top. The key will be to continue to generate the drive, including fans(don't want any sitting on your hands types in my section). So keep the momentum, expect some new challenges with new rivals and find a way to get in done. The playoff format for us next year is going to be even worse and we've got to be a top tier team or we will get left on the edge again.

The disallowed Calvert goal wasn't the only call that cost the CBJ 1 potential point. On Jan 26, Foligno was called for goaltender interference and a game tying goal was taken away. That call cost the CBJ a regulation tie.

I still can't believe taking a step back towards your own goal is still enough "forward progress" to knock a team out of the playoffs.

I'm not surprised they overturned that goal. We've had numerous "kicking motion" goals waved off with less kicking motion.

Great point. A 3rd call that affected the standings.
