What’s crazy is that with one more shutout, Bob MIGHT be able to backdoor his way into a Vezina nomination. He’s having what seems to be a top 5 season for goalies over 48-50 games.

T-2nd in wins
Solo 1st in shutouts
7th/8th in Sv% for goalies over 48 games
I don’t know about GAA but scoring is way up this year so he’s probably top 10.

And some people think the lockout Vezina is undeserved. Look I love the big lug but this just ain’t his year for that.

As it stands right now, assuming Bob doesn’t turn into a Siv in the playoffs once again , this team could beat any team in the league , minus Tampa in a 7 game series . I’m assuming glass man returns by the time the playoffs start

The Expensive Line

"The classic line" = in the sense that these three are as CBJ as one can possibly be.

 

[Socks]

Seems like the modern day record is the 06-07 Jackets at 16 times shut out.

The 14-15 tank team isn't far behind at 14.

Oh god I’d blocked that season.

 

[MoeBartoli]

They are picking a good time to peak.

Bob is Vezina Bob again. I wonder if there has been some background discussion on his contract.

Fixed it above.....

 

[Madifer]

If Bob loses his shit again in the PO then none of this will matter and he will forever be the "Vezina choker goalie".

If he is truly gone, get ready for the scoreboard watching next year of his future team.

Going off of my 7-2 projection of Montreal, the jackets need only one win and they should get in. I still believe Montreal will finish strong, but the jackets have blown away all expectations.

Getting to 98 points clinches a spot no matter what Montreal does.

Not underserved, just not as meaningful as a full season. This season kind of illustrates that. As you hinted to Bob isn't going to win a Vezina for half a season.

At any rate, good win. We've set ourselves up nicely to take WC-A, let's finish it out strong.

That would make them The Blue Line

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

Pazzy did that? I have no memory of it.

I barely remember it. What I do remember is that when healthy, Pazzy was an amazing goalie. And without his injury, we never found Steve Mason, or traded for Bob.

Problem is if we make play offs we are playing one of the very best offenses in the league

Washington isn't that scary. As it stands right now, we are +25 in goal differential. The Caps are +33. Tampa isn't even on my mind right now. The Caps may score a lot but they've given up more than the CBJ too, which says a lot with how a lot of this season has played out from a CBJ perspective.

We beat Washington in a series , Tampa , not so much

That’s true. Pazzy was pretty awesome when healthy.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Also, I have to think Murray is being held for the playoffs , seeing him in the locker room the other night . Add him to the mix with the way Kukan is playing as well , and that is a hell of a unit

Tampa also has had some average game as of late, maybe they took their foot off the gas, but maybe they are in a bit of a slump

 

[ViD]

The biggest take away from this game for me is finally a good game for PLD. Hopefully that will give him much needed confidence

 

[NotWendell]

Too bad he had groins of glass

 

[Socks]

Indeed he did.

His poor wife.

 

[NotWendell]

I don't know. This could all work out. Columbus earns the WC1 spot and plays Washington. If we advance, we take on Pittsburgh or the Islanders. Then, we'd have to worry about Tampa - assuming Boston hasn't beaten them.
