GDT: Isles at CBJ - The St. Valentine's Day Massacre Edition

[Sore Loser]

Q: what do Riley Nash and Sonny Milano have in common this year?
A: each have one goal.


Edit : Good chance both will end up tied.

Yeah, but Riley has more in the bank! So clearly he is bett...

I can't even finish that statement without laughing.

 

[Grouchy]

Another **** effort, and Tirts will have no answers in the postgame . It’s like he learned nothing from our playoff loss last year .

I don't think Tort can really say anything other than "we have to put this behind us". Tonight's game was the polar opposite of the win vs. the Caps; going from really feel good strong win after a 3-win road trip to being dominated at home in every way.

 

[Sore Loser]

Here's what I'd like to see at the next practice:

Unnamed media person: Torts... Riley Nash, WTF?

Then everyone just corners him and stares, not letting him leave until he explains.

If somebody told you it would be 2/14/2019 and the CBJ free agent acquisition of last year would have 1 goal and Wennberg has two goals, would you guess the team would be in a playoff spot?

I’d like to imagine how good we might be if together they had 15-17 goals at this point.

Crazy point, you are correct. BUT to be fair to the thread, Wennberg actually played a solid game tonight.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Beat the Capitals 3-0 and then lose to the Islanders 3-0.

That's what the Elves would call "Justice of the Unicorn."

 

[Columbus Jack]

It does if you want to actually get in the playoffs, which is pretty unlikely with this team and the drama, as well as the schedule ahead.

(And no this isn’t an overreaction because they’re finally losing a game, I’ve been saying this for a while)

Would you like to bet on if this team makes the playoffs or not? Contingent on Bob and Bread staying in Columbus, there is no way they don't get a playoff spot. The teams below them are not actually good. You are basically saying you are afraid of Carolina, Buffalo and Philadelphia. Which is ridiculous.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

They had 2 days off after Vegas and came out and played well on Tuesday. They were given Wednesday off as a reward and then show up like this on Thursday.

That worked out well.

Riley Nash has only one goal more than Rick Nash this season.

Absolutely will take the bet. However no contingencies. Are they making it or not?

Carolina is a better team if they had a better goalie. Even with that fact, they probably make it in over us due to schedule. Buffalo isn’t, but they aren’t surrounded by drama. Philly is probably out of time. But they’re better than us.

 

[DJA]

Carolina absolutely could pass us. Remember we made the playoffs by one point last year and were nearly caught by Florida of all teams, who wasn’t even close at this point last year.

Guess Torts is skipping the post game presser?

 

[MoeBartoli]

No show on the scoreboard, no show by Torts.

No show on the scoreboard, no show by Torts.

Did he himself get traded!?!?

 

[Robert]

I feel bad for the fans who spent hard earned money to watch CBJ crap at home... I've seen this before but shutout at home is bad... Total bullshit!!! sorry,

 

[Grouchy]

The CBJ have to perform better than a lot of really good teams to even make the playoffs. I'll take the bet they will; just barely then probably get crushed by the team that ends up winning the cup (lose to cup winner hat trick).

Carolina has performed well with former CBJ McBackup and McMrazek and have a realistic chance of matching or passing us in the east/metro ... That makes discussions about Korpisalo and his ability to lead if/when Bob leaves kind of , ... weird... ???

I know it will never happen but how frakked would it be to exit round 1 to Carolina with McBackup?

 

[Sore Loser]

The game in a quick synopsis:

The Islanders played an absolutely perfect road game. Sticks in the lanes, blocked shots, hard hits, protect the net, capitalize on their few chances. What amazed me is that, if you go back and watch the replays, they would simply hold off, hold, hold, then when someone would go to shoot, bam stick in the lane. So many shots deflected over the net.

The Jackets weren't all that terrible, aside from a few turnovers - which ultimately led to the goals. They could have done a better job making it tough on Greiss, but I don't think the Isles did anything special. They just played boring hockey. We tried to do too much.

3-0 is the result.

Casey Czikas killed a man and he's on the verge of getting a hat trick.

It's not fair

Isles fan here in peace to get your fanbases outlook but that quote is not fair. You should really check out the facts of the case before throwing dirt on the mans name

"it was noted by physicians that two weeks prior to the battle with Cizikas, Castillo suffered a major concussion. One doctor testified that Castillo's concussion was severe enough that it should have kept him out of competition with physical contact for a full year."

​

The kids family chalked it up to an accident and did not want to ruin Czikas life. Anyway, best of luck moving forward - Seth Jones and Werenski are great pieces to build around.

Guess Torts is skipping the post game presser?

He should.... get a new NON RUSSIAN goalie...

You are correct, that comment was unfair. Good luck moving forward, though I hate watching you guys play.

If Carolina makes it in, they will suffer a similar fate to that of the Flyers last year, and see their goaltending get absolutely picked apart. Just a hunch.

Three goals in the net???? I guess that's normal???? What's normal is stopping three goals in the net..... come on Jacket Fans.... be better.

Oh please. When the offense scores zero goals then you cant blame the goalie.

Also its not like that other russian goalie is top 3 in the league.
