GDT: Blue Jackets @ Red Wings - 7:30 PM EST

[TheRatPoisoner]

This team has been ****ing painful to watch lately.

I'm starting to have my doubts as to whether or not adding new players to the roster was a good idea...

 

[Probie]

These defensive pairing could really use a shake up.

Kronwall-Smith
Dekeyser-Zidlicky
Ericsson-Quincey

I'd like to see these too....nice balance. Dd can cover somewhat for zids pinches and brainfarts, and we have two lines that can generate offense a bit and clear the zone....

In the offseason I know it sounds harsh but we need to move two of our d to really fix our problems.

 

[Eggberto]

Well, the last goal his angle was pretty suspect. There was no pass available, but he was playing deep like there was one.

I don't think he was too deep. Even on the replay they just showed I don't think that angle gets shut down much better. All on erricson for being completely inept and actually further removing himself from the play.

 

[aar000n]

if we tie this ill eat my shoe.

 

[Eggberto]

Pittsburgh isn't a contender this year so not surprising. But we're not on the level of Montreal or Tampa

Pittsburgh isn't a contender?

 

[theYman]

That was a snipe.

Not saying wasn't. Doesn't mean it isn't saveable. Especially glove side.

Smith, Ericsson need to go along with Kindly, Lashoff

 

[ArGarBarGar]

If you look at the location he doesn't have any time to make the movement for that save. It was incredibly quick and in the right location.

 

[RedHawkDown]

Pittsburgh isn't a contender?

I don't think so. Crosby isn't anywhere near as dominant as previous years and they have D problems as well. NYR, NYI, TBL, and MTL are a step above everyone else in the east imo

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Work commitments..... Really not happy to see the score at least expected to see the lead when I got home. What is going on with them, how do they look? Trembling with fear as I ask.....

 

[HomersWorld]

Paging Alexei Marchenko.

 

[Classicnamesup]

Pittsburgh collapses every single year in the playoffs. Plus the team is worse than previous years.

 

[ap3x]

Unbelievable...

Played a decent game on offense but Columbus is playing a near perfect road game.


Defense, mainly Zidlicky and Ericsson. Has been awful. Mainly Ericsson

 

[RedHawkDown]

In other news, Nestrasil has 2 pts and is a +3 in 15 minutes of IT tonight. Probably shouldn't have let him go.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Kronwall almost made a nice move to score.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

In other news, Nestrasil has 2 pts and is a +3 in 15 minutes of IT tonight. Probably shouldn't have let him go.

Who would he replace in the lineup? He isn't a very good player. Who cares that he has 2 points tonight?

 

[Jussi]

Bobrovski #1 cop in town!

 

[RedHawkDown]

Who would he replace in the lineup? He isn't a very good player. Who cares that he has 2 points tonight?

I think he's pretty good. He's better than jurco and Weiss, at the least.

 

[Bench]

Smith and Zidlicky given the green light to pinch like hell.

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

Smith and Zidlicky given the green light to pinch like hell.

Last game of the season. Can't hold anything back!

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

It is interesting when we trail and Smith gets the greenlight he always looks good. Because that is the way he should play all the time....

 

[theYman]

Ok this is the fight I'm looking for. Why can't we play like this for 60min?

 

[SimplySolace]

In other news, Nestrasil has 2 pts and is a +3 in 15 minutes of IT tonight. Probably shouldn't have let him go.

Okay Ken Holland. We should just continuously hoard all players.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

I think he's pretty good. He's better than jurco and Weiss, at the least.

I really disagree with you on that one.
