GDT: Game 69 (Nice): Columbus @ Boston | 7 PM EST

[aRussian]

Definitely getting outworked so far this period

 

[Marioesque]

The D could use a Gudas and Hakanpaa, then it would be better balanced and the offensive instincts of the young guys would cost less.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

We should be down 2-3 goals.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Looked more like two guys battling in the slot. Of all the time to make a call. Geesh!…..Maybe I need to go into a Jack Edwards rant!

 

[majormajor]

I guess long term I see Boqvist as a poor man’s Kevin Shattenkirk who’ll be at best average on defense but provide offense. If he becomes that, I’ll be ok.

I could barely tolerate a Shattenkirk (or Tyson Barrie) on my team, let alone a poor man's version of that.

 

[Fred Glover]

I'm just as disappointed in Boqvist at times. Super promising player, I know, but there are times when he seems like what it would be like if the most talented kid on my men's league team was just thrown in the NHL. So much skill but he's built like a sack of dough and just doesn't care to play more than half the ice.

I think I read that Bo knows this as well and plans to work on adding muscle this off-season

 

[MoeBartoli]

Did you think an infant was crying next door?

What’d I say?

What was his plan the last couple off-seasons?

He seemed highly in demand during his prime.

 

[majormajor]

Nevermind.

I attached your quote by mistake. Damn fancy modern technology!

I’ll not call you when I need geek help

 

[We Want Ten]

Not much Elvis can do there.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Oh no, anyway

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Feel awful for Elvis.

 

[Halfboard]

Hmmmmm, there’s a guy standing right in front of our net, I think I’ll just stand to the side & watch him….

 

[majormajor]

He seemed highly in demand during his prime.

Both were/are highly situational.

Shattenkirk was shipped out of New York in disgrace. Barrie out of Toronto. They can do really well in a certain circumstance but I personally prefer more versatile D.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Bayreuther showed no fight in defending the net. He was simply there

 

[JacketFanInFL]

He really has no business in this league.

He actually went to the right spot, which showed more situational awareness than most Blue Jackets tonight. Just needed to take the stick.

Not to be overly technical, but he sucks

I do as well. I simply see more value in such a role if you have the right surrounding cast

 

[MoeBartoli]

That’s harsh. He’s better than Harrington.

 

[Halfboard]

Ah oh……Jody getting critical…… he’s gonna get Jim Dayed if he’s not careful…

 

[Halfboard]

That’s harsh. He’s better than Harrington.
