GDT: Jackets host the Capitals -- 2/12/19 -- 7 PM @ Nationwide Arena

Forced to watch the Washington feed. They keep bit@$ing about the bad calls! Not sure what they are smoking!

Holtby only had to make 1 or 2 difficult saves. Lots of poor shots by the Jackets and really bad job of getting to dangerous areas because rebounds and bounces were there.

huh....

absolutely disagree. Holtby looked out of position on quite a few saves but made several saves that could've very easily been goals. Giving credit where credit is due. If it weren't for Holtby, the Jackets could be up 2-0 right now. Jackets controlled most of the play. I'm pleased.

Currently a CBJ/CBJ fan battle going on in my section between a few fans calling Wilson trash (and other names) and two old dudes who are telling them not to yell.

The Blue Jackets played very hard in the first period but playing hard with no goals gets you one thing.... A moral victory....

We need some skilled shooting...

Yeah, missed opportunities. As well as we played its still 0-0 and those missed opportunities usually come back to haunt you . Hope we can keep the pressure on them, they played last night and maybe we can wear them down.

 

[Madifer]

Tom Wilson when he is older!

Those old guys probably want the young whipper snappers off their lawn if they are going to yell.

 

[MAHJ71]

Anderson is back

 

[Theo Von]

Andy's backkkkkkk

 

[Revelation]

It's Tom ****ing Wilson. I don't care about the optics. He does not deserve anything even distantly resembling the benefit of the doubt.

What was there to doubt on that?

Well.. Weed is legal in DC.

Maybe they brought some on the trip

 

[Viqsi]

Anderson is back

Good. Hope things are more or less fine.

You guys realize that Wilson just plays his role to a T. I miss the days where how Tom Wilson played , was the norm . Now he lays a hit , and there is a big uproar. Jackets need Andy to play that way , but he doesn’t seem overly interested in playing a chippy game . I can guarantee that the jackets players keep their head on a swivel when Wilson is on the ice , which is why he’s so effective in his role

 

[MAHJ71]

Looked fine as he skated by... assuming it was likely just the wind getting knocked out of him.

Hopefully nothing boneheaded in retaliation unless it’s an agreed to scrap.

 

[Fro]

Andy back

 

[Fro]

too much passing...

For the third time, I Do Not Care. I don't care about any nuance, optics, mitigating circumstances, hit evaluations, or anything at all anyone wants to say about it. It's Tom G-ddamn Wilson. Who he is and what he has chosen to be is enough. When he ceases to be who and what he is and has been, I will be willing to give him reasonable doubt and/or objective evaluation. Until that time, that is a privilege that he has lost. He is an unrepentant scumbag criminal, and he will not receive due process from me.

Caps playing a text book road game..... first goal wins...

 

[CBJ VGK]

God, a Caps goal would be demoralizing right now....

 

[CBJWerenski8]

All over them with no results.

 

[Viqsi]

so very very close.

 

[Robert]

We need to keep shooting.... at some point one will go in....

The Jackets CANNOT relax!

Wouldn't him just skating and keeping to himself like he did there qualify as ceasing to be who he is or whatever? Unless he was literally supposed to phase out of existence there

 

[VABUCK]

Keep at it! Skating well! Just need to finish!

 

[Viqsi]

For the FOURTH time. I. Do. Not. Care. It's Tom ****ing Wilson. I will not hear your defense attempts because he does not have that right.

 

[MFRONE]

This 2nd period has the intensity of a preseason game
