GDT: The **** You Adam Foote GDT - CBJ @ COL - 9PM

[DJA]

The Buffalo game was "critical". The St. Louis game was beyond "critical".

Tonight is just full-on all-out desperation mode. Even a win tonight, or even 2 on this road trip, won't be enough to erase the prospect of this being one of, if not the most, catastrophic month in the history of the franchise. And I am not embellishing.

You must not have followed this franchise from around 2000 to 2012

That's the thing I "like" about this fanbase. We know it can always get worse 'cause we've been there.

Now if only we could get more used to the idea of not assuming it always will...

Yes, I did (attended the very first game in 2000 and many since) And it was brutal. The difference is, expectations have never been higher than they were this year. Yet this team still finds a way to look flat, unmotivated, undisciplined and outclassed almost every night.....

 

[Madifer]

This one is, dare I say, critical.

I agree!
if they win, especially in a convincing style then they can build from there and drive the wave of higher confidence which can take the team anywhere

A pathetic loss could be the end of the season.

 

[Sore Loser]

Best gdt of the year, thanks Monk.

f*** you, Adam Foote.

Can’t believe Bob is on net. As a player I would rather be on the ice with the guy who wants to be here and who still is focused on winning for this team. Bob is not that guy right now. Yes he is probably the better goaltender - but not right now. Unlike Bread who has his bags packed but not at all checked out, Bob is packed and he’s mentally checked out.

Sincerely Curious - is this a Torts or Jarmo decision?

Coach makes the final roster decisions - usually. But if Jarmo asked Torts to showcase Bob, that may play into it.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think you need to "showcase" a 2 time vezina winning goalie. The whole league knows the situation and he seems to be gone. They all know he's had some crap games and if they scouted the CBJ enough they'd know the team defense has equally hung him out to dry.

Bob being in the net again today is another slap in the face of Korpi.

Korpi had his opportunity to essentially win the starting job at home vs. St. Louis and he crapped the bed.

It's a lose-lose proposition at this point.

Korpi’s game stats in that game were virtually identical to Bob’s season stats.

Is it just me or are the most-despised players around the league amongst the CBJ fanbase ones who actually wore the CBJ sweater? I find that rather sad but then again there's not much worse for a fan than getting stabbed in the back by someone who you once rooted for.

I just don't have the same lingering hatred for the pests... Like Tootoo. Hated that guy at the time, just sorta meh now. Feel sort of bad for him even.

 

[Theo Von]

I can honestly say that I'm not looking forward at all to watching the game tonight, but considering that I haven't missed watching any this season, I will force myself too.

losing streaks are absolutely zero fun. blah.

Korpi gave up 2 midget goals in his last start, he's had multiple chances to take over and isn't up to it

I saw the game, yes he allowed two nearly identical goals which were stoppable. Yet he stopped many dangerous shots as well. His overall posture and body language was way more confident than Bobs.

 

[GoJackets1]

Bob starting tonight makes me feel like they want to get him one more win, so that we can cut the cord on a semi high note.

 

[Theo Von]

with a loss tonight and a carolina win over the penguins this evening, we'll have a 1 point cushion for the last WC spot. not even three weeks ago, we were first in the division.

my goodness.

Agree, the guys in front of him didn't help much and he made some outstanding saves...it was just those two easy ones you shake your head about. I also agree his body language that he is projecting is better than Bobs.

Watch hockey or the SOTU tonight? Hockey is the easy choice!

I think if Jarmo wants him in, he's in no matter what Torts wants.

Those two leakers made Torts head explode I bet.

Was my thought, especially since the rumour mill appears to be picking up on Bob

"What have you done for me" vs "What have you done for me lately".

A huge performance might drive the price up on a guy who has struggled at times this year. We'll see.
