GDT: Game 51 - CBJ vs WPG - 22 Jan, 7:30pm, @Nat

One point out of 3rd in Metro....

5 pts behind the Pens

I think he certainly did. It looked like Elvis lost sight of it and was slow moving across the crease there.

Elvis was very appreciative after as well. Went to Savard (probably said something) and gave him multiple taps with the stick.

A few thoughts:

Some looked like they were checked out for the break. Team still found a way to win.
Elvis wasn't great today. He wasn't bad either. Didn't get the lucky bounces he's been getting. Still mde some big saves when needed and still put another W.
Gavrikov really struggled today as some have said. I'll give him a pass. Dude has been really good.
Bjorkstrands shot is elite.
PLD is a strong young man.
For those on the mains that say Seth Jones is over rated....eat ****.


Enjoy the break boys. You deserve it.

Team picked up Elvis a bit tonight. He was fine but a bit shaky. First goal was unlucky, second one was deflected, and third one he needs to stop. But that’s ok, he’s not going to be perfect or excellent every game.

 

[Socks]

Bjork’s second goal was one heckuva shot.

Bjorks' 2nd goal was a thing of beauty! Speed, Finesse and Power!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

It really was, I didn't realize at the time. He is not someone who takes a big hit, keeps the puck and scores. He finds open spaces and loose pucks.....but he got hit HARD and kept going. It was a PLD move and a Bread finish

I hope Cam didn’t lose his fire, but he was invisible tonight

He is going to be fine. The much needed mind shift has already taken place. I have a bad, no I mean a good feeling about this :я

 

[Hello Johnny]

Had the good fortune of being able to attend tonight's game. I thought from start to finish they were the better team. The Jets had some fortunate bounces and Elvis wasn't his sharpest, but he made some timely saves and the team came through on the scoresheet (what a shot by Bjork to win it). Happy with this win right before the break.

PS – really great crowd. Felt great to be at NWA.

Just got done watching... wow. Bjorkstrand's second goal, the game-winner.... I just about crapped myself when I saw that. To fight through that check and win that battle, and then just walk in and bury it -- that was straight nasty. Dude is just on fire right now. Probably a bad time for him to hit the break, but oh well.

 

[Madifer]

Hey that's great! Hope the guys rest well.

Did you see that EN shot :/

Imagine how many hats there would be... :|

And to think that he could easily had another goal on that play in the second period when he worked his way from behind the net to the front. The guy is just absolutely killing it right now.

People lost most of their hats to Zach already

People have bought new hats Im sure. This year's best selling hat is "Let's make CBJ great again" btw :Р

I'm thinking of buying a fedora since compared to most hats it has better... lift

Btw, how TF has Werenski not been added to the Metro team? The NHL is ****ing incompetent. He leads the league in goals by a defensemen (missing 7 games). Dougie Hamilton went out, unfortunately.

The NHL absolutely sucks at this stuff.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Bjork’s second goal was indeed a great individual effort. His first goal, not to be overlooked, was a sweet two man game that we see we more often see from the opponent.....really nice. The goal I thought he’d convert was a play behind the net, where he fought on the boards and deked the defender to loop around from back to the net front, getting a point blank shot at the goalie which was unfortunately blocked.

Before injury and upon his return, Bjork has looked like a 35+ goal player.

Fun game last night.

Hoping this break doesn't kill the momentum.

Because every team in the league is supposed to be represented by at least one player. So when Carolina’s player was injured, one of his teammates took his place.
