GDT: Game 51: Wings & Jackets, 7 PM EST

[LetsGOJackets!!]

There is plenty of reason for optimism, at least when we play the wings. now let them score and win the game

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Why do we have 5 righties on one unit and 5 lefties on the other wtf

 

[MoeBartoli]

Roslovic dangling thru all the Wings which completely excites Rims, yet still mid-call interjects “a Columbus native”.

We’re going to win

Is this you being the optimist or pessimist?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

yes

That, and why was Laine playing so low? Has that been a thing recently? That spot he was in seemed more or less completely useless.

This team is helplessly quirky

Makes perfect sense. With all the line change problems Torts now can simply yell “Righties” or “Lefties” to get them out.

Jody pointing out how Laine sucks again

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Uhh... is Laine refusing to set up on the powerplay?

 

[JohnWillow]

What the heck Laine is doing on PP? Why is he standing so low? Is that some instruction given to him?

I`m interesting who thought PPG system for the first PP unit. It`s so stupid. I doubt Laine would stand there only so.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Ran it back to watch. Have to call a spade a spade, Laine completely quit on that PP. The formation was an umbrella designed to get him a one timer, or at least be active in the cycle. He didn’t do anything. He stood still at the goal line with his stick to the side.

I highly doubt the PP formation calls for him to stand still with his stick to his hip.

Inexcusable. Indefensible. PLD like. Embarrassing

I don't usually watch AHL but I must say this is entertaining.

In all seriousness Roslovic is an awesome talent. And a good period for the Jackets/monsters.

I'm also curious why Laine is so low on the PP. I know you want to give the PKers some unexpected looks but that seems too low. Hard to feed him there.

Agreed, what the hell was he doing there?!?! He was basically on the goal line - at one point you could see Seth with the puck on the point, and he was looking for Laine to his left - and wasn't even moving his feet, he was literally standing there.
Hope the next coach lights a fire under his ass.

I'm just throwing out a guess that they asked him to move to different spots more and he's taking it way too literally. Perhaps in protest. Perhaps just confused.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

 

[GoJackets1]

Yeah it’s tough to draw any conclusion other than Laine has just totally quit on the season. That spot makes no sense. I know that, so a pro hockey player knows that.

That’s the thing. He’s not moving. He’s not participating. He’s not even pretending to be involved. He’s just standing like he’s waiting for the ref to get in the circle for a faceoff, not even like he’s waiting for the face off to drop. It’s embarrassing.

I could expect he won`t play around the board, simply in fight but he did it so why on PP...I don`t understand what`s happen. It`s PPG Good Jesus.

It's all Torts' fault.

You watch Ovechkin much?

My problem is that he's in the wrong spot on the ice. His body language has always been a lost cause.

 

[DJA]

Amazing that Laine is guaranteed a payday next year of at least $7.5 million to stand and do nothing on the job
