GDT: NHL Qualifier Game 5: Columbus vs Toronto | 8 PM 8/9

[CBJ goalie]

As a CBJ fan living in SW Ontario, this is a very sweet feeling.

A lot of my Leaf fan friends didn't really take Columbus seriously.... they were already talking about who they would be facing in the first round before this series started.

Karma, baby.

Will this put the Marner for Jones crap to rest.

I thought Liam Foudy was supposed to be the next Chimera with all speed and no shot who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn

Foudy's shot isn't good but he is a much smarter player than Chimmer. He does the little things well.

Only going to be worse...they want to trade hime even more now...gonna be 4 marner threads tonight I'm sure lol

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Couldn't watch game 4 or 5, so glad to see that I will be able to see more CBJ hockey when I get home Tuesday.

Well done, boys.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Will this put the Marner for Jones crap to rest.

...I was one who said before the season that I would deal Zach for Marner.

Not anymore. Zach took a massive step forward this year and Marner did not.

I feel bad for the 'regular' Leaf fans, the ones who don't think the team invented hockey. It has to suck to be a good fan in a fan base with a crap reputation.

oh hey there liam.

 

[Emerz]

Grats on the win my dudes

We got to spend a lot of time with those folks on the playoff mains, actually. Was pretty awesome. I do think, though, that it helped that one of the trolls set the tone early on by proclaiming that Dubinsky was going to bully the Leafs into submission. Gave us all something to laugh together at.

 

[EDM]

Let me add one more thought: F*** Matt Duchene who spit at Columbus while trotting off to Nashville. Enjoy your off season you jerk.

Yeah, I kind of thought Marner for Zach would work out for both clubs before Marner signed. I'm happy to keep the ZW-Jones tandem going now.

But I expect to see that trade pop up on the mains multiple times. Any talk of Jones for Marner is ludicrous and should be immediately locked.

It should also put to rest any notion of trading Werenski.

I used to be against it unless it was for the right player, now he's apart of the Jones, PLD untouchable list.

 

[Phil Parent]

Thank you so much.

 

[ViD]

Gavrikov and Savard finish the series with the Team leading +4 rating

Foudy was our best forward tonight. He was dangerous and all over the puck. Encouraging for him going forward, although I am still skeptical on his offensive ceiling.

 

[Bedards Dad]

On the same token Foudy and Texier both had eye opening moments throughout the series ... bright future for both.

I found Texier to be meh. Foudy on the other hand was buzzing all series and one of my biggest concerns. Kid has a great future.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Wings fan offering congrats on the series victory. Also, caught Torts' GM 4 post-game presser (all :45 seconds of it), what a classic troll job by Torts on the media!

 

[MettleMcOiler]

Congrats Blue Jackets!

 

[Doug19]

Foudy looked great, but held onto the puck to long to often. He will be much more dangerous when he starts shooting or passing quicker.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Congrats. That was a Gutsy win after a bad beat. Showed immense character to come back with a shut out W. Good to see Columbus get exposure on national TV. So now Seth Jones gets the credit he deserves, he is one of the best D men in the NHL. Terrific player to watch.

 

[Theo Von]

Foudy looked great, but held onto the puck to long to often. He will be much more dangerous when he starts shooting or passing quicker.

entirely disagree with this statement. There was one time that I remember the entire game where he made a 'mistake' by holding onto the puck too long/it leading to no opportunity in the offensive zone.

the kid was a threat all night long. there's a reason why the main board couldn't stop typing his name in the main playoff thread.

BUT WAIT - THERE'S MORE.....

WHERE'S PANARIN? AT HOME
WHERE'S BOBVROSKY? AT HOME
WHERE'S THE CBJ? IN THE f***ING PLAYOFFS.

HOPE THE MONEY IS WORTH BEING A LOSER.

To be clear this is not my burner account....

With that said, I like you.
