Quincey, Nutivaara, Sedlak....
All new since game three.... Calvert too....
What's Torts issue with stubbornness???? After game one everyone in the world said Quincey and Nutivaara should be playing???
Bob's been horrible, even tonight but at least they won this one.....
I'd start Korpi in Pitt Thursday, Bobrovsky is a head case in the playoffs...

Way to go. I am happy. It has come down to the goalie who makes that one save, tonight it was Bob on that back door pad save. He's looked awful, but MAF has too. Thankfully, we got a win.

One average game from bob and this is a series. Even with crappy bob, it should be 2-2 if Dubi didn't hit MAF in the head in OT.

True... but benching for the first three games Quincey, a guy we picked up for the playoffs, and Nutivaara, was a huge error by Tortorella......
That said, Bob has been so bad few defensemen in the league could have saved him.... His SV% in this series is at minor league levels....

He assisted in a critical goal and was all over the ice...... Harrington was worse and didn't even play.....
There was a different feel to this game - they didn't get 3 quick goals and just try to hang on. They kept up pressure, pressure, pressure, built a lead over time then just kept it up.
The Penguins have too much talent to really be completely held at bay for long, but the way this game played out felt qualitatively different from game 3.
Still got a deep hole to climb out of, but it seems more doable now.

The unneeded penalty notwithstanding I thought Quincey played ok - certainly not great but not poor. Torts rode him for 20+ minutes.....Wild Bill played his best - actually first good - game of the series. He deserved the ice time he got tonight. Andy, JJ, Nuti and Boone (except an early penalty) were also strong. Liked Matty too.
Of course he was..... At any rate he performed admirably in his role of poor player. Cut the guy some slack; he played 20 minutes and managed to stay on the positive side of the dreaded plus/minus.

Odds are slim for a CBJ comeback..... I think 3 times in 50 years it's happened but ya never know....
If Bob can do a playoff Hasek ( I may send Bob a clip of the Dominator) it could happen....
Just win in Pitt on Thursday and it's a series.....
Go Jackets!!!!!!!!!

Let's be real. Nutivaara and his 9 minutes of ice over Harrington in games 1-3 and this is a different series.

There's been a lot of talk on here about the Jackets lack of game-breaking forwards. But, I still think the Jackets can have playoff success when all 4 lines are contributing like happened tonight. They have their most success when the 4 lines and 3 D pairs are rolling with goals being chipped in across the roster.
Stay with it and get the next one!

Greatness was in the house tonight.
You know what, forget this. Team is finally getting an identity and they bow down to the almighty ohio state to get the crowd to cheer. Heaven forbid we have one night where the city forgets about football for 3 hours.

I agree. Gratuitous sucking up to OSU and showing of band wagon OSU coach wasn't necessary.
This game was a matter of salvation for the soul of this team. And they pulled it out. Great game for a blood and guts team. This win saved the soul of this team. We may lose the next one and that is ok if it happens that way. But on this one nite they proved they belonged in the playoffs and that is going to be so important to the future of the franchise.
Great game Jackets !!!! However it goes from here, I am satisfied.
But Nutti and Quincy made Torts look like a fool for going with Harrington/ Carlsson for the first three games. Indeed, I think Tort's benching of Nutti was a part of the seven game slump. Nutti is a vital part of the way we played earlier in the season. He gets the puck out of our zone quickly and puts us on the offensive. I hope Torts has learned his lesson and he incorporates Nutti into the system for next year. With Carlsson because Murray will be with the Av's.

Lets Go Jackets!
One thing that really stood out to me this game, and this series so far is how irrelevant Foligno and Dubinsky are in a fast paced game. I mean Foligno hasn't done anything besides body up in the corners and Dubinsky just loses the puck in open ice any time a defender is near enough to catch him.
Kind of scary to think how they'll look a few years down the line when we still have them signed to big $ contracts.

I keep thinking to myself that the Jackets are one miraculous face away from a tie series. This after being outscored 16-11 in the series. One thing is for sure, both goalies have been pretty dreadful.

If we won game 3 there was a distinct possibility of coming back to Columbus leading 3-2. If only.
