GDT: The Next Critical Game|Jackets @ Oilers|3-21-19|9:00 p.m.

[EspenK]

Carolina up 3-2 on TB.

 

[ViD]

Considering other scores around the league, this turns out to be extremely important

The bad Habs blowing out the isles and will be in our wild card spot. We have our opportunity to take it back tonight obviously.

 

[We Want Ten]

I'd kill to just cruise into the PO's. Just once I want to know what it feels like. And win a series. That'd be cool too.

We aren’t entitled to that wildcard. Have to earn it. The teams around us are responding and the CBJ are floundering. They can feel free to get their shit together any time

 

[Robert]

Habs should win tonight.... Carolina winning....

CBJ must win....

With Korpi in net... ugh.... But why not Kincaid???

 

[Robert]

Based on current scores if we lose tonight we will be out of the WC2 spot...

This is a must win folks.....

What you are saying is a "Dynasty".... Only happens with a few organizations considering both the NHL and NFL... The CBJ have been slugging it out for 18 years.... Who knows..

I don't know about dynasty, but a year where we aren't trying to backdoor our way into the playoffs would be cool.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Gagner tried to hit Anderson. It didn’t go well

Agree

 

[We Want Ten]

Jones and his puck troubles starting early tonight.

 

[aRussian]

Very tentative to start, but not bad. Controlled pace

 

[Columbus Jack]

Columbus Blue Jackets : Entertainment is Death

 

[Robert]

Alison is an expert on stats and more... CBJ are simply unlucky...

1 shot for either side in 5 minutes isn’t enough for you?

That’s not the conclusion I read.

It's amazing how neutered this team has become. We used to use our speed through the neutral zone on entry. Now it's either dump and chase or pass to a stationary guy at mid-ice. Both eventually leading to turnovers. Guys like Werenski and Jones that can bring the puck up ice have seem unable due to the overall scheme.

As that rate we might hit 10 shots by the end of the 2nd

I just wanted it to be read....

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Good start

 

[DJA]

Anderson is skating like a concrete pillar tonight

Hard to allow D to do that when Offense seems ok turing puck over in danger areas. PLD and several others have been in the habit of turning puck over on rushes right over the blue line. Transition kills anymore

I don't see much attacking the net... In the wheelhouse physical work... I've said this before, I miss Vanek and Hartnell... Those guys worked the paint...

 

[EspenK]

Either 2 great defensive teams or pathetic offenses? I'm tending to the latter.
