I hope Nash and Sedlak step back into the lineup against Pittsburgh, hopefully in place of Dubinsky and Dzingel. Nash is a solid vet who knows how to complete a pass. And Sedlak always brings the effort. Hannikainen and Wennberg were maybe the Jackets two best skaters tonight (least worst), and it's perhaps no coincidence that they were the most removed from the team leading into the game.

And as much as I loved Bob's performance tonight I'd go with Kinkaid too. Too many issues versus Pittsburgh.

If you can help me since I'm in L you're in C-Bus I'll PP you 300.... You buy the beers for our HF Board brethren at the next home game... Just tell them the meeting spot... Message me your email... Serious..

No need to, my friend. All in good fun.

 

[Theo Von]

love this.

 

[Jovavic]

Sounds like the team has been around Mason's old girlfriend too much and they all have mono, why the lack of energy?

 

[DJA]

So wait....the players had a “heart to heart” between the second and third and said “this is our season”....and that third period and OT was the absolute best they could come up with?

Beyond concerning.

 

[JacketsDavid]

I missed 1P.
Bob stole us 2 points last night. So many good opportunities and he played well.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Tell me more about this team being a playoff lock

Literally like one person said that and he has apparently given up on the season since the deadline, so take your victory and move on.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Over the past 3+ years, this team has always faltered when they have expectations. The bigger the expectations, the bigger the failure.

This is what I said yesterday in the 'Fire Jarmo" thread, only phrased better perhaps. Needless to say, I agree.

He needs to play like that if they are going to have ANY chance to steal another win tomorrow. But then again he usually goes into the fetal position against the Pens.

Or Pens are not Devils AHL team.

Multiple people have said it. He just feels the need to say it in every game day thread because it makes him feel good. Just let him do his thing

Don't worry Dzingel will get the Duclair/Bjork/Sonny treatment soon enough. Also anyone wonder how you take one new player who was averaging over a point per game and the other (Dzingel) who was at almost .8 pts per game, and neither can seem to score at all in CBus? Wonder what the common denominator is? Or in this case the least common denominator.

Having no real clue how your team generates offense is one part of it. The second part is not being able to teach new players how your team generates offense. "Getting pucks deep" and "crash the boards" is not a long term strategy to generate goals against good teams.

As seen on reddit. "Zach Werenski - from top defender to Jack Johnson in 1 year."

 

[Madifer]

my mind was on a strike so I skipped this game but damn, barely beating the devils's B team... I mean really ?

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

For a day....

We're back in the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!! WC2

Ended up being for about 3 hours considering Montreal won against LA.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Ah, the redemption game. Being a non-believer in Wennberg, I showed some faith yesterday in declaring he should at least be in the line-up over Nash and Dubi. And there I was in front of the TV to witness a player with no shots on goal and 0-7 in faceoffs.

(If I may borrow @CBJWennberg10's bag)

 

[MAHJ71]

Me watching the end of that game last night... gritting it out.

Not doing any favors for my blood pressure lately.

I'm going to put one on the CBJ bobblehead on my desk at work - I just need to make one for him lol.

Their B team knew the book on how to shut the Jackets down and executed it. They just didn't have the offense to convert on the chances they got. When Blake Coleman and Drew Stafford are your first two players in the shootout? Oy vey. Bob playing at his capability and having better personnel for the shootout were the only reasons they won.

BTW - you missed nothing last night - that game was putrid. Poison Control could use that game tape as a recommended method to induce vomiting.

I'm with you on just about everything here except sitting Dzingel. He's struggled a bit but I still want to see if 19-95-28 can pull it together as it should be an effective line.

I agree...let's blame Trots!!

Yes I know what you meant.

Yes. Keeps the chemistry with two other lines. Let coach mix and match only line 4....Please
