GDT: Game 9 - CBJ at TML - 21 Oct, 7pm

[CBJWerenski8]

For the second consecutive game, center Pierre-Luc Dubois did not take a faceoff. On Monday morning, he confirmed to The Athletic what some had suspected.

“I want to take face-offs but health-wise, I can’t right now,” said Dubois, who did not reveal the nature of the ailment.

They call that a reach around I believe.

Jackets at 2. Need at least 1. I;m guessing 4-2 or 5-2

Once again my prediction leads to a Jacket victory.

38th in the league.... SV%.. One can't pick and choose games or series of games... He's playing decent with a .905.. He's getting better every game...

He’s playing great. One thing you have to consider is who we have played . This includes facing Toronto 2x, Buffalo, Anaheim, Carolina , Dallas, and the Islanders . A couple of those games our defense was a train wreck . Last night , Toronto could have have 4 or 5 goals in the first period .

Don't forget giving up 7 to Pittsburgh

That was Merzlikins, not Korpi.

One can when one is replying to one who said, "Korpisalo is playing decent of late..... He gets better every game...". You didn't say he is playing decent this year. You said he is playing decent of late which means our most recent games.

Well. They kinda did.
But the Jackets deserved credit for staying in it.
A good road win.

One team can finish the opportunities they earn. The other can’t. And that’s why we lost.

we always give up goals at the end of periods and it’s maddening

HAHAHAHAHAHA

My laughter is also directed to many more posts and posters.

Its definitely gonna be a LONG SEASON.

OK, I'm confused about something regarding the new rules.

After Toronto dislodged their own net, that brings up one of the new situations where things are treated like icing -- no line change, attacking team chooses the faceoff dot.

Well, Toronto's center got kicked out of the faceoff. If that happens after an icing, isn't that supposed to be delay of game? Is that not right? Does that rule not carry over to this situation?

Thoughts?

Here's my thoughts..... that should have been a f***ing delay of game penalty.

Clear as day call. If you think that was accidental, you don't deserve to be a ref in the NHL. Couldn't believe it wasn't called, then of course TOR scores right after.

Why is Jenner on the ice

To help the CBJ gain possession of the puck by winning the faceoff.

Which he did.

And if he didn’t we lose. Having a bad year and his +\- reflects that. Yeah yeah yeah it doesn’t matter it’s a worthless stat wellJenner is usually towards the top in +\- but this year he is dead last.

he’s not a guy I want out there in overtime, but hey we won.

 

[db2011]

A bit more complicated than that.

"The first official game sheet cited Marner for “coverage of puck in the crease.” Leafs coach Mike Babcock was told it was hooking, though, and a second sheet reflected that even though Marner did also appear to cover the puck with his glove in front of goalie Frederik Andersen."

I don't know how you have different versions of the game sheet. Maybe they were going to call two penalty shots. Can you get two in a row?

So if Nyquist doesn't convert, I wonder if the Jackets would have had a power play, too. Unlikely but if there were two penalties on the play then it would seem like the way to go.

I didn't like it at first, but on second thought, it's either 1) lose the faceoff -> defend for a minute, in which case Jenner is good out there, or 2) win the faceoff -> get off the ice, which is what happened.

I remember Jenner having some useless stretches, seemingly every year the last few years, though last year was more consistent (hard to judge because Anderson carried the line). He'd have more minuses than points, looked slow as heck, but then go on a tear at the end of the year and end up in the plus column. He's also a guy that seems inconsistent in his legs. He was flying in the first two games. He was barely hanging on to the Leafs skaters last night.

One thing you have to consider is who they've played. This includes facing Tampa (twice), Buffalo, Carolina, Nashville, Islanders, and Colorado. Almost all of those games their defense has been a train wreck, and these teams could have had 4 or 5 goals in the first period.

I still haven't found any discussion of this anywhere, but it's remarkable.

They definitely awarded a penalty shot for the hook on the breakaway. Leafs fans are saying it should only have been a two minute penalty, because Nyquist got a shot off, but it has to be a real scoring opportunity and the ref I think can judge that Nyquist didn't get a real chance there.

And they cited Marner for gloving the puck in the crease, an automatic penalty shot.

So it seems like two penalty shots?! If Nyquist doesn't score, they get another one?! Has that ever happened?


But it's weird because they had the two penalty shot citations on separate game sheets. Do two officials submit sheets? Does one replace the other? Did they change their mind about the second penalty shot call?

Marner didn't cover the puck in the crease.

Absolutely , and here we are , Bob has a .87 save % and a 4.07gaa. Puts into perspective how good Korpi has been , at 9 mill less per season
