GDT: The Take Home Ice Advantage Game|CBJ@Bruins|Game 2 Series 2|4-26-19|8:00 NBC

im just pacing myself for tuesday... thats the day we get that freakin roof to come loose

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

Torts needs to get back to rolling four lines - the advantage the Jackets had going into the series will be wasted if we only roll three to Boston's four. If that means benching Texier in favor of Dzingel, so be it.

I lacked a simple rabbit ear antenna to watch the game last night (will be rectified this weekend). Had to go out to a sports bar and I was pretty much the only cat there for CBJ. In any case, I feel I livened things up on the OT score since I couldn't contain myself (I'm usually pretty shy about being loud around people I don't know).

Was so proud that this team could compete. A portion of our lineup has been halted by Boston but if we can force our play and get more people on board we can push this to our favor.
Can't wait for Tuesday!!!

Went to Giant Eagle in Grandview this morning and saw 4 people wearing CBJ gear and 2 others were talking about the Jackets.

Proper beverage container used during Game #2 last evening.

Proper result achieved. {I told you I wouldn’t let it happen again}.

I'm always embarrassed for people who resort to "the refs are winning this one for (x)."

Then don’t bother reading the Boston post game thread.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

There are some team boards that have really good and fun GDT's, and then there are 'usual suspects'.

I used to have the same one. Don't know where it is though

And I learned a new word.

EDIT: I knew that word. . Turns out I'm on the verge of senility as my CRS disease worsens. Yikes. Full disclosure I hadn't even finished my first cup of coffee when I read Moe's post and my mind went huh?

Oh, so I'm the one who gets to learn some new slang - CRS. I hate it when I have to look things up.

The question is, how many times will you have to look it up?

 

[MoeBartoli]

Remember when someone (bus?) was pushing Coyle as a TDL target and was pretty much pooh-poohed? Too bad we didn't get him. Duchene-PLD-Coyle would have made a pretty damn good top 3. And we'd be up 2-0 in the series.

I think Coyle was a @Viqsi guy.

Agree the four lines are important. Returning to NWA should be helpful as Torts should get to dictate matchups. If Dzingel comes in for Tex but is lined up with Wennberg and Bjork, that combo still has the same vulnerability - especially during these WWE non hockey stretches like in period one. Probably Foligno and Dzingel would need to flip.

Last night’s NHL double overtime Game 2 of @BlueJacketsNHL @NHLBruins on NBC drew a 2.21 overnight rating, up 33% vs comparable 2018 game and standing as NBC Sports’ highest overnight delivery of the 2019 #StanleyCupPlayoffs to date.

 

[Fireball23]

Columbus delivered a 13.0 local rating for 2OT Game 2, NBC Sports’ highest NHL rating ever in the market. Boston scored a 17.1 local rating. NBC was the #1 network in both markets during the game. #StanleyCupPlayoffs

Can't go wrong with a set.. Make sure you get some good ones. Great when power is out for weeks and running things on generators.

Imagine if we had gotten Stone and Duchene instead of Dzingel

I've got to think that Bob has increased his next contract value by around $10 million with his playoff performance independent of what happens going forward.

He's answered the only pressing question about him.

I thought Columbus beating TB was bad for the NHL, because no one would want to watch them.

Makes me sad this is the one time we'll see him play at this level in the post-season in a Jackets sweater, but I was in the "let Bob walk because he's a choker" boat so... it's a treat either way.

Maybe there's a novelty factor, much like Vegas last year?

Sort of. I remember objecting to suggestions that we trade Jenner for him, but otherwise thought he could be useful.

People love the underdog!!

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

From just general Hockey talk (not talking heads), mostly friends and family that root for other teams there is a rising interest in the Columbus Blue Jackets that began after game two in Tampa. About that time people definitely wanted the underdog.. they had incorrectly assumed that TB was on their way to the SCF. Then the style of play and the can of whoop ass they put on the Bolts seemed to heighten interest even further. Is it the same as the LVK got last year and this year.. I don't know but it seems like Columbus now has the attention of the hockey world. Those that will be in attendance on Tuesday should keep this in mind.. the eyes of the Hockey world are upon us.. we may not be able to do anything about the perception with Bread and Bob.. but the young future hockey stars will be paying attention. Columbus.. this is your time in the spotlight.. TURN UP THE VOLUME!!!!!!!!

Other than being a smoother stickhandler and his quicker release on his wrist/snap shot, Werenski isn't better than Jones offensively or on the PP in ANY way. The accuracy of Jones wrist shot, and his (imo) much better slap shot (imo) 'trumps' the things Werenski does better. Jones' passing and "offensive awareness" is also (imo) quite a bit better and he seems to have some moments with Panarin, where their skill and chemistry just "clicks". There's no reason that Werenski should be playing on the #1PP if he and Jones are going to have nearly the same TOI numbers or god forbid Werenski actually plays more.

Glad Torts/Shaw/Larsen listened to me.

Seth got ALL the "looks" on the PP, and the difference showed. Him and Panarin REALLY DO have legit "chemistry" and their games mesh very well together. Bittersweet now that I really think about it.
