GDT: Game 82: Columbus at New York Islanders | 4/11 7PM EDT

[Johansen2Foligno]

Jackets had the 3rd best road record in the East.....what could have been if they'd held serve at home.

Well, that's a little hard seeing as some of those 'home' games actually had more opposing fans

 

[KJ Dangler]

Never been more proud of a team I root for . Injuries decimate the team , and they play balls to wall to the very end . We're about to go on a special run boys

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Wennberg is going to be special IMO. Maybe not quite Johansen good, but close.

LOL. The games against the Pens and Hawks for sure. Detroit didn't bring their legion of fans as much as I recall in the past, but they may have been weekday games, can't remember...of course, they're probably coming from Westerville or Gahanna anyways.

 

[NotWendell]

And I think David Clarkson is going to prove to be an asset to this team next season.

They won those games 3-0 vs. Hawks & Pens. Probably because they seemed like Away games.

Jackets set record for most goals in season with 227. Didn't think offense would be this team's calling before the season started, but who could have seen the production from Foligno and Harty, and offense from guys like Cotton, who did squat in Dallas.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Go Colorado

 

[Halfboard]

As the season closes, I want to thank everyone for keeping me entertained, at times angered, sometimes frustrated but mostly energized all season long. Sharing observations with all of you as we watch the games is truly fun for me. Enjoy the playoffs; and like me, anticipate a great year next season!!

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

What happened at the beginning of the game with Tavares and Letestu?

 

[Samkow]

So, after a season, is it safe to say the Hartnell-Umberger trade is the most lopsided (in the Jackets favor) traded in team history?

The only one I can think of to challenge it was the Bobrovsky one

We actually scored 236 this season, most of all non-playoff teams except Dallas

 

[Socks]

Had to miss this one for family reasons but I'm so glad we won. I'm so dammed proud of this team. Never quit. I can't wait for September.

 

[Blades of Steel]

Thank you guys

you guys really do have a good team, next year you will be great.

 

[ReggieRed]

What happened at the beginning of the game with Tavares and Letestu?

I don't think anything happened between those two. Boulton came up high on an open-ice hit on Letestu right in front of the Jackets' bench, and that started a couple of scrums and probably led to the Prout-Boulton fight later. CBJ seemed to be playing Tavares hard all night...don't think it was anything he did but probably just part of the gameplan.

We beat a lot of very good teams needing points down the stretch and took the President's Cup team to OT in their house.

Doesn't matter if there was no pressure or not, that is the sign of a very good team. It will be interesting to see if we can start the season well. I'm curious to what we'll see in the offseason. Lot's of big decisions to be made.

If there is a team that "deserves" to win the draft lottery, it could very well be this team. I don't think I've seen a lottery team play like that down the stretch before. Having said that I'll just be happy of Buffalo doesn't win it. That front office tried to lose and blatantly.

As far as tonight. Very high intensity yet quite sloppy. I'd like to see us clean things up next season. Having said that, this was another example of the clutch attitude our players have had. It was awesome to kill that crowd at the end. I'd prefer to do that to win a playoff round.

We really need to start winning games a little easier at some point. We haven't seen too many of the games like we had in Toronto and have to constantly come back in games. As good as we played there is a lot of room for improvement. I'm looking forward to next season. Nice way to end a disappointing season.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Colorado scores with 30 seconds left!!

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Avs win!

Maybe not swept. But they aren't a team built for the playoffs. Too soft and not deep enough.

Soft? The Isles are built for the playoffs, led the league in hits. I think if they get the goaltending, they will go a round or two.

 

[ca5150]

someone needs to refresh the trade for umby thread on TR&FA to start a fire

I think I'll go looking for it to see all the guys complaining about Hartsy, haha

I think I like them against the Caps

 

[ca5150]

Dubi is the man, to get a couple teeth knocked out, come back, and drop the gloves with a guy(even though the guy declined) and score a goal is awesome, his injury was the most significant, close with Bob, but when he plays, he drags the team into the fight.

I'm glad they finished 15-1-1, draft be damned, I'm excited for next season and I would have been depressed all summer if they tanked down the stretch.

We should have a meet up for the draft, put some faces to the nicknames! Drink some beers. Have a good spring, it's been fun and frustrating "debating" with a lot of you. See you closer to draft time boys.
