Duck the shark

 

[NotWendell]

We need Elvis to be young, hip shaking, rock n roll Elvis right now

The exciting thing is Elvis can get better. He can improve his rebound control and occasional lapses in positioning. The kid can become a stud.

 

[Fred Glover]

You need to start putting on a happy face.

Then again, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

 

[MoeBartoli]

Victory over Les Habitants! Let’s next bomb Bob!

 

[NotWendell]

Well, didn’t think it was easy but we got 2 points and we’re 3rd in Metro now!

Someday, I hope we'll be looking back and thinking "remember when we used to get excited about being in THIRD PLACE?!?"

 

[MoeBartoli]

Yes! What’s up with Gus?

Took a horrible slash.

 

[Fred Glover]

Jackets give up way too many goals and chances when playing against an empty net

The other team DOES have a man advantage, an extra skater, you know? That does make a bit of a difference, don’t you think?

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Goal would’ve negated it anyway, no?

Gus scored. That would wipe out any penalty, like any other delayed call.

Goals are awarded on penalties called on an unobstructed breakaway. Even he had missed the shot there would have been a case to just give him the goal if the penalty prevented it.

The confusion stems from watching our man advantage on the PP.

Right. But no matter what, Weber wasn’t going to the box, even if a penalty had been called.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

If I were to take a guess, Bob doesn't play on Tuesday. FLA plays TOR tomorrow night. I'd be willing to bet they start him in the divisional matchup and sit him against Columbus.

Almost everyone can and will get better. Remember the average age of this team is probably around 13 years old

But really average the is below 26 so many of them haven't peak

 

[Cowumbus]

Who will play C if Wennberg is out? FOLIGNO??

bingo.

 

[pled]

Bem hopefully if he remembers how.

Gerbe if he doesn't.

Gus was center 10 years ago

Thats center depth

 

[LoveCBJ]

Guess we should have fired Torts.

 

[ZipCity]

All one in 3rd, just 6 behind the Pens.

The team is overdue for a "lose 3 out of 4" stretch (not that I'm wishing it upon them) so I'm glad they're banking points like crazy

 

[pled]

Guess we should have fired Torts.

he cant play center can he ?

 

[NotWendell]

he cant play center can he ?

Neither can Wennberg. Heyyoooo!

 

[Jaxs]

If you would've told me on opening night, the team will be third in the division on Feb 2, I would have done a back flip, and sustained an injury!

 

[Cyclones Rock]

17-2-5 . That's a 133 points pace over 82 games.

This is testing the boundaries of reality

 

[DarkandStormy]

PLD is 3-11-14 in his last 10 games. Bjorkstrand is 10-3-13 in his last 8 games.

That's a damn first line.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

17-2-5 . That's a 133 points pace over 82 games.

This is testing the boundaries of reality

 

[Crede777]

Who will play C if Wennberg is out? FOLIGNO??

Either Foligno moves over or they can call Stenlund back up (although he played primarily wing last time he was up, he is a natural center).
