Boston series..... Atkinson, Jenner, Bjorkstrand, Foligno, Dubios, Anderson..... Non existent....
Bob was not great after game 3 but he had no support either...
Where was Anderson???

Agree with the part of them barely making the playoffs and doing good. They were an 8 seed so they were going to have the toughest route. Disagree about Rask. He played good,no doubt, but it was our lack of creativity on offense that made him Tim Thomas like. Not to mention the pathetic power plays. I give Rask some credit, but the guys in front of him out played our guy by a mile.Having slept on the results it is a bit easier to be rational. The Jackets barely made it in to the playoffs then swept the best team of the regular season. They played the Bruins tough but in the end. as Fenway mentioned above, Tukka Rask went Tim Thomas on them and that was all she wrote.
Lots of factors to be considered:
Bruins top line plus Krejci is better and more experienced than Jackets top line of Panarin-PLD-Atkinson and Duchene,
Rask was better than Bob.
Injuries affected Jackets more than injuries affected Bruins.
If it wasn't for bad luck Jackets would have none. Other than the goal off the net I can't think of much that went Jackets way.
Disappointed for sure. Pissed that the 2 guys who could have been stars of this team for years to come are leaving. I get all the bs of its their life and they can do what they want but eff em anyway.
It was fun watching them advance in the playoffs. Painful to watch the end.
I personally think he played well. Well, as well as one could with Wennberg. Agree on the others though. Cam should be embarrassed. Hopefully PLD learns from this as well.Jenner and Anderson tried. Foligno's hands are made of brick. Bjork soft. Dubois lost. Atkinson... deeply disappointing in our time of need...
Agree and I'll amplify on this later. Imagine had the Leafs won game 7 against Boston.Well said. Ironically, the Bolts were exactly the match-up that the CBJ needed to get past the 1st round. They are a team that loves time and space for which there is none in the playoffs. Still, it was mind-blowing to win our first series. It got everyone's hopes up. But then reality hit with the Bruins - an excellent team built for the POs and well on their way to winning the Cup this year. The better team won this series.
I agree . Bjorkstrand is good. I do not believe he is soft. He is what 175, 180 pounds. He gets right in and digs for pucks in corners and is not afraid to hit or be hit. Plus he has a tremendous shot.I personally think he played well. Well, as well as one could with Wennberg. Agree on the others though. Cam should be embarrassed. Hopefully PLD learns from this as well.
Wow. Things have gone off the rails on this thread. Because Cam had a tough series, Calvert cited to argue who's the better player. I'd put up a laugh emoji, but I'd need 1,000 of them.Hate me... Calvert is in game 7.... Cam out...
Too bad it’s not game 7.McAvoy to have hearing.
Bruins' McAvoy to have hearing for hit on Blue Jackets' Anderson - Sportsnet.ca
Hope he gets a game. Don't think it will be more because he has no record.
Wait ... Wennberg played well ? When ? His line becomes invisible what ever line he’s on . He had 0 shots in what 4 games ?I personally think he played well. Well, as well as one could with Wennberg. Agree on the others though. Cam should be embarrassed. Hopefully PLD learns from this as well.
No. We have alot of respect for you guys. Hell of a season, love Kekäläinen and his moves (except Dzingel). Imagine if McQuaid and Nuti were playing. This series screamed for game 7.I know Boston fans..... They are laughing at us right now..... serious...
I think you missread my comment lol.Wait ... Wennberg played well ? When ? His line becomes invisible what ever line he’s on . He had 0 shots in what 4 games ?
I have to disagree. Foligno has great hands, the guy can dangleJenner and Anderson tried. Foligno's hands are made of brick. Bjork soft. Dubois lost. Atkinson... deeply disappointing in our time of need...
Holtby outplayed Bob. Rask outplayed Bob. Don't get me wrong - this is not purely on Bob. We were outplayed as other positions too. We had no business being in Game 1 (which we justly lost) and Bob stole game 3 for us.Deja Vue, last year up two games to none lose four straight, end of season. This year up two to one, lose three straight, end of season........
Sigh.... this year it at least was round two after a glorious sweep of Tampa in four straight! It was so much fun seeing the CBJ captivate the city and for at least a couple weeks take center stage in the city’s sports scene! Extremely disappointing to see it end!!
