GDT: Game 58 - CBJ at BUF - 13 Feb, 7pm

[CBJWerenski8]

Jackets have 1 line of NHL forward right now and they blew coverage on the 1st goal and it costs them the game. Torts said the same thing as did Bjorkstrand.

With so many guys out, why is it that the veterans are the ones who keep blowing plays defensively and are ghosts offensively?

Because the rookies are no different.

 

[NotWendell]

So far I'm not impressed with Sonny Milano. This is his opportunity to show his offensive talent we keep hearing about and I got nothing. I can't see him being back here next season. There HAS to be some turnover in the forwards to create more offense.

I've been a Milano supporter, but if he can't take advantage of this opportunity, he needs to be shipped out.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

We were up 2-0 with one minute to go in the second period.... Our goalie should have shut it down...

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Too many AHL guys on the roster. It was fun while it lasted and they looked good on adrenaline alone but now the shoe is starting to drop

It’s this. And I don’t mean to demean DJA but it’s not complicated.

Maybe Buffalo isn’t that good, but if the roles were reversed and we looked at our roster we’d think it was an opportunity to get a win.

He's got to finish opportunities and just didn't.

 

[Robert]

Truth teller... not Robert.... Torts in post game presser....

Fouly played better than some veteran players...

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

He's right. Need to end the second period 2-0.

 

[Robert]

He's right. Need to end the second period 2-0.

Yeah, like duh....

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

benched for sucking or add him to the list?

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

He's right. Need to end the second period 2-0.

Those 3 forwards he referenced were Bjorkstrand, Foligno and Dubois.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

considering there’s no tweets saying he went to the room, I’ll assume benched.

yup

We should have crushed Buffalo.... Hutton SUCKS!!! They have one great player and he beat us...

 

[NotWendell]

Drinks are a cop out.... The CBJ should have won this game and the world knows it...

I see dark clouds on the horizon...

Drinks are not a cop out. Drinks are absolutely necessary with this squad. Hell yes we should have won that game by 2 or 3 goals. That said, it's one game.

Ok... that said, I'm tired of this one game stuff too..... Every game is the playoffs with four other teams as good as us... EVERY GAME COUNTS!!!

 

[MoeBartoli]

benched for sucking or add him to the list?

Guessing benched. He has struggled to make plays in the last few games and has been the weakest link on the top line. His passing and stick handling have been off and his play reflects frustration

He was part of the forward group that Torts railed against for allowing the first goal and was generally invisible.

 

[MFRONE]

This times 10000000000.

All 3 were below the blue line when the Buffalo player was looking up with the puck making the initial break out pass.

 

[NotWendell]

If you're going to expect this team to win every game, you're going to be a very unhappy guy for the next two months.

It’s always “one game.” Eventually they are going to run out of games to play and will be booking tee times instead of still playing.

Yep, and it's going to be in early April if Jarmo can't make a serious trade.

 

[Robert]

Kek as good as he is must add some players before the deadline... I know it hurts him to be proactive but he must...

He's the expert not me or any of us but this I know.... The Cleveland Monsters are not going to make the NHL playoffs today, tomorrow or ever...

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Honestly, I'd prefer just to ride it out and not blow draft picks with all the injuries. Use some forwards to acquire more picks/players in the summer and add Foudy and a potential top 15 pick in a supposedly deep draft to the roster next year. Jarmo isn't going to be able to overhaul the forwards at the trade deadline. it will have to be in the offseason.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Kek as good as he is must add some players before the deadline... I know it hurts him to be proactive but he must....

Yeah, I don’t think that’s right. Jarmo is one of the ballsiest GMs in the league. He has zero issues being proactive. At all.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

And I think an upgrade of the 3rd string goalie position is far from the top of the list if he does anything.
