GDT: 9/18/2013 - Blue Jackets @ Hurricanes - Rivalry Game

[AhoLottaLove]

Ward hasn't played a game in six months. Let's hope he gets the kinks out in preseason.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Delay of game on Semin

I guess he closed his hand on the puck?

 

[DaleCooper]

Nope.

His jersey was tucked in.

 

[rocky7]

not used to those new jerseys yet .

what is the rationale to that rule?

 

[Wolfpuck]

Nope.

His jersey was tucked in.

So that's a thing now?

The Columbus radio guys got a good laugh out of Semin getting the call for his jersey tucked in. Said you get a warning first, so I guess Semin was warned and ignored it.

Ultimate coach killer

 

[caniac315]

If memory serves me correctly, seems like Columbus always beats us. They always seem to have our number. Oh, and 99.9 is still loading.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

 

[Wolfpuck]

tied

 

[VictorLustig]

Softie by Ward..

 

[caniac315]

I'm over this season already. No feed, radio feed not working, listening to Columbus feed and their guys going crazy when the BJ's tie things up at 4-4. I'm done. Good luck guys.

 

[TheOllieC]

Another one? Geez.

 

[Wolfpuck]

5-4 Jackets

 

[HisIceness]

Oh defense...... (or goaltending)

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

Ward blows.

Time for the Anton.

 

[TheOllieC]

How many penalties are we gonna take guys?

 

[Wolfpuck]

And the parade to the penalty box continues...

 

[Caniac125330]

It's just preseason. These games are for working out kinks and seeing what you should work on anyway. Wonder how bad the sky is falling on the Facebook page.

 

[rocky7]

o.k. here's a chance guys.

 

[bleedgreen]

And this is why it's for the best we don't get to see much of preseason. The word itself gets lost on us.

 

[Wolfpuck]

"Semin hot drive" - Chuck Kaiton

 

[Wolfpuck]

5-4 is the final

 

[TheOllieC]

Wasn't expecting Ward to get outplayed by Mike McKenna, but OK.

I went and watched the first 2 periods tonight. I don't take much stock in overall team play and overall score, as the roster is a mix of regulars and guys trying to make it, coach isn't trying to match up lines, regulars aren't likely giving it their all, he's not giving top lines enormous TOI, etc..

Re: the guys trying to make it (and this is just the impression of this game):

Through the first 2 periods, Gerbe and Terry stood out. Bowman as well, but hard to tell how much of that is because he was on a line with Semin/Staal, but he looked good. Gerbe looked good and was hustling all over the place. If he plays like that continuously, I can't see him not being on the squad. Terry looked much better than Dalpe or Welsh. Dalpe and Welsh looked like AHLrs in the 2 periods I saw them.

I like Lindholm's game, but he doesn't seem ready to me. Smart player, good defensively, but needs more strength and he was knocked around quite a bit. Wouldn't surprise me if he was sent back to Sweden for a year. My guess is the Canes won't send him back, but it won't surprise me if they do.

Defensively, hard to say too much. Murphy's offensive skill is really fantastic. If he can play even "ok" defensively, he's a big asset, especially on the PP. The guy is a lot of fun to watch and can really make things happen.

dang! sounded close there.
