GDT: Carolina @ Columbus: It's a Sine Edition

surprised it took that long

obvious goal

LOL. Lack looked like the fainting goat on that one.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I mean, Lack wasn't touched. So calling it goaltender interference would have been near impossible, and even if they went by Tripp's interpretation, it was difficult to tell if he started in the crease.

Still, what do the Canes have to lose? Nothing. They lose a TO, big deal. It was a low chance that Peters would win it, but it was worth a shot. They can't *** score so give it a shot. Especially since the game is essentially meaningless.

So last game, opposing players going after Skinner and he needs to take things into his own hands. This game, players going after Lindholm, and he needs to take things into his own hands. I sense a trend.

If the score was more out of hand, I'd agree.

But a 1-goal game? I'd rather have the timeout.

Problem is, people focus on our bottom guys. Look at all the angst over Jordan, Terry and Malone. While they aren't great, they aren't the problem. The problem is we need more top end guys.

I agree there, but I think clearing out the garbage and filling the bottom with above replacement level players is important too. If the goal is to build a team like Chicago, LA, Detroit, etc., those teams don't have Terry's Malone's, and Jordan's in their lineup.

I'm the opposite. When is the last time a time out changed the course of a game?

If the score was out of hand, why even bother. Peters knows the season is over (in terms of playoffs) and he knows the team can't score to save their lives. If there's even a slim chance he can get a goal overturned, you take it. A time-out is meaningless. Yes, there is a slim chance that at time-out may matter, but it's just that, a very slim chance.

EDIT: And listening to the intermission, Forslund also thought it was a good challenge.

It was a slim chance that goal gets overturned. Honesty, there's a better chance the Canes tie the game and then ice the puck late in the game, where a timeout would be sorely needed.

Edit: And Forslund was simply agreeing with his partner. It's be bad form if he didn't, especially considering how gung-ho Tripp was.

You say there's a better chance, how many times has a TO been sorely needed this year? I'm not saying it WON'T be this game, but I can't remember more than a game or two out of 70 that it has been so far...so to say "there's a better chance" is a bit optimistic.

Edit: and you complaining about minor things is simply par for the course.

What the **** is happening?!

 

[Blueline Bomber]

What the hell happened to this game?

You were saying?

 

[DaleCooper]

You're off the force Bobrovsky. Turn in your gun and badge.

 

[Caniac125330]

You were saying?

Terry's ears must have been burning
Prove me wrong Chris!

 

[Wolfpuck]

I'm at a concert, so I've been periodically checking the score on my phone.

I see we scored 3 goals in less than 2 minutes? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

So no goals for almost 2 periods..and now 5 in a few minutes.

 

[w e l o s t b o y s]

why just let the puck sit there, put your ****ing glove on it and you get a whistle

 

[Navin R Slavin]

The only thing left to be decided:

Can Lindy get a Gordie?

 

[Brock Ness Monster]

oh hey, pizza tomorrow

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Somebody needs to buy Lack a taco after that one.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Superb effort by Lack to keep the team in the game when they decided to sleepwalk the first two periods. And even better when the Jackets were pushing for the tie.
