GDT: Game 49 - CBJ vs NJD - 18 Jan, 7pm, @Nat

[KCbus]

I have an odd feeling that we’re going to come out flat and lose tonight. Hopefully I’m wrong

You're wrong.

(I mean, I have the same feeling, but I'm trying to convince myself.)

 

[Socks]

Power play baby!

 

[Socks]

Man I think I say this at least once a game but damn Luc is strong.

 

[MFRONE]

What was PLD doing on that PP? Jackets established the zone and he had 2 horrible cross ice passes

 

[Monstershockey]

Evrytime they show the penalty box, it cracks me up how small they are. If there are multiple penalties do they just sit on the box operators laps?

I criticized you last game when you used hyperbole to describe a failed PP as one of the worst you've ever seen.

If you make the same comment about that last one we just saw, I will make no such criticism.

That was putrid.

Yes they stack them towards the ceiling.

 

[Socks]

I really admire the commitment of the two fans dressed as refs that are there every single game.

 

[MFRONE]

When does Lilja show why he should be in over the most skilled forward on the team?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

You're wrong.

so far I am, which is good

Glad your gut is wrong on this one, they've got good jump in their legs - playing well, controlling the play.

Dude... Atkinson's out there.

When I used to go to The Columbus Checkers IHL games, there was one box and players from both teams sat on the same bench, separated only by a security guy sitting between them. You can imagine the fireworks that sometimes took place in that box. It wasn’t out of the question that two guys sent there for fighting ended up in Round 2.

Defense first line ?

 

[CBJ goalie]

Lol, you know things are going right when pucks deflected off your D are hitting you perfectly.

 

[KCbus]

Whoa. Lucky not to get victimized on that deflection. Caught Elvis by surprise; it just happened to go right at him.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Lilja with the elite offside

 

[MFRONE]

Jackets were dominating and then the Powerless Play sucked all the energy out of the team

 

[KCbus]

Defense first line ?

More or less.

I mean, I like Milano too, but the kid's got 40 career points in 107 games. He's not Malkin. People have got to relax a little bit. There's more to the game than scoring.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Dude... Atkinson's out there.

Dude... Atkinson's out there.

Atkinson is a fine shooter, but he’s not near the playmaker that Milano is . Unfortunately it’s going to take a loss for Torts to get his head out of his ass

That is awesome. It would be like side entertainment. The game on the ice, and the fight in the box.

 

[ViD]

I hope we get a better PP this time

Questioning Torts coaching decisions is strictly prohibited.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Powerplay is abysmal

 

[MFRONE]

Fire Paul MacLean
