GDT: Game 50: Blue Jackets @ Lightning, 7PM EST

[Fred Glover]

yeah said they had a candid talk with him this morning and he admitted the room was lost when PLD left and he was never able to get it back

For those of you recording the game the comment/ quote is exactly what was said and can be found between the 17-16 minute mark of period one

 

[KJ Dangler]

Interesting nugget just now on the broadcast. Torts admits he lost the room when PLD left

Makes you wonder if it what Torts did that caused him to leave , or what he did going on radio and blowing PLD up on air that he should be a man and tell his team why ?

Watching Laine it is very clear that he desperately wants to play with speed. He continues to circle back in the neutral zone in order to either take it himself with a full head of steam, or pass it off, get moving, so he can get it back.

He doesn’t play well when the pace of the game is slow and methodical. This might be why he appears lazy because he’s only going at the pace of the puck/play.

We need to get some transition players to play with him. I think Roslovic and Domi are passable but there are certainly better transition players out there.

Roslovic has a problem that he often want to do himself. I prefer to move Laine to Texier, Atkinson to Roslovic.

Nice shot

 

[NotWendell]

Robinson Hat Trick Candidate?!?

 

[VABUCK]

When it rains it pours for Robinson

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Grigorenko dumps the puck in and Laine stops skating because he doesn’t want to get hit. He had inside leverage and hustled to be in front but the second Grigorenko dumped it in he stopped skating and let the Tampa defenseman get in front of him and then they get a penalty

 

[VABUCK]

What a BS call!

 

[MoeBartoli]

You can’t stop Robinson, you can only hope to contain him.

 

[VABUCK]

Ref gets the assist on the BS call!

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Korpi should have gone down hurt instead of whatever that was. Would be blown dead immediately.

Precisely why this guy needs to be traded. No heart.

 

[DJA]

That may be the last time we see Korpi in a CBJ uni

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

That's all folks for Korpisalo for this season. Welcome to the Elvis and maybe TarasovKivelenieks show from here on out.

 

[Fred Glover]

I’ll tell you something else that will lose a room real quick
Crappy play from the goalie

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Tarasov is going to get a game in net for sure if Korpi is hurt, keep him out the rest of the way

Not if we want to tank

thats too far but it was indefensible

He was hurt. Should have gone down. Play would have been blown dead.

 

[Fred Glover]

I’d love to see what we have in Tarasov
Who knows, if he gets a game or two and does well maybe just maybe the other Russians we have in the system will want to come over sooner and Will think they can do the same here

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Feel for korpi. He battled hard. Got injured playing for this shit team. Hope he’s ok

 

[Fred Glover]

Hurt or not he has played horribly this year
I’m talking about the whole body of work this season
Or should I say whole lack of work

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Like but not like. If this is how it ends for him I hate to see it because of injury but it is what it is. I thought he looked good tonight for the most part. I still think Elvis is the better longer term option.

 

[Nanabijou]

It hasn't been Korpi's best stretch, but he had a good game tonight. Sucks he gets charged with a goal when he's hurt like that and tried to battle through. Hope it isn't too serious and he recharges during the recovery.

Maybe we should try to dress Manny Legace like the Vegas AHL team did.
