GDT: Game 5 - Columbus vs Tampa Bay - 1/21 7:00 pm

[ViD]

CBJ (1-2-1) vs TBL (2-0-0)

Home opener! We are starting a 4 game home stand against two Florida teams.

I refuse to believe that Tampa without Kucherov is just as good and I think we will cause them a lot of problems as we usually do. Hoping to split the two game series.

Liam Foudy - Alexandre Texier - Oliver Bjorkstrand

Incredibly, with a regulation win, we’d be in first place in the division.

So what you are saying is that the season is not lost?

Let's show these punks how cream is made.

So what you are saying is that the season is not lost?

As long as other teams in the division continue to get games cancelled.

 

[Jovavic]

Some teams are going to have to have three games in three nights, hopefully it won't happen to us.

This feels like a win, need to get 3 and 8 going and Tex keeps on keeping on

 

[Columbus Jack]

I'll check in around 10 minutes left in the 3rd, we'll either be blown out or the game will be tied!

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

I'd gladly take 2 points in the next two games. Guys like Z, Cam and Seth have to get going eventually, right?

Why only these 3? The list is much longer

 

[CBJ goalie]

I hope this little rivalry they have with TB lights a fire under them.

And being in first place with a .500 record would be kinda cool.

So, fire Torts and Jarmo and trade Domi for picks?

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Offense really comes alive tonight

4-3 loss

You meant 2-3 right ?

 

[MissADD]

Any chance we see Koivu tonight? I am not sure how the NHL protocol works. I at least want to see him play one game for the CBJ. He was one of my favorite non CBJ players for a long time.

As of last night, he was still on the NHL's covid list. Not in for tonight.

 

[Cowumbus]

4-2 CBJ. Empty net goal, puck line Jesus, over 5.5 hits.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Take one of the two against Tampa and you’re happy

CBJ website projected lines are trash in this case

 

[JKinCLE]

what will be the reason this time that Stamkos misses the game to hide from Foligno.

 

[Finner]

MDZ 4goals tonight. Rest of the team 0+0 -5 and 4-5loss in OT. Praise for MDZ.

No, no, this is way off-base. Texier will at least manage an assist or two.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Incredibly, with a regulation win, we’d be in first place in the division.

The CBJ will then have to be renamed The Columbus Hockey Team.

Honestly, not the worst name
