GDT: CBJ @ Nashville | 8pm EST | "2013 Season Opener" Edition

[NotWendell]

Brassard has been a disappointment tonight. Umberger too.. You can tell that guy has been coaching instead of playing.

You can tell the guys who are overmatched because they're playing a line higher than they should be. Not their fault.

 

[Robert]

I have 100% more confidence in Bobrovsky than what I remember in Mason...

 

[Timeless Winter]

Anisimov looks just like Frodo Baggins.

 

[NotWendell]

These guys SKATE! They don't glide like Jackets of yore.

 

[BlueJacket2]

This is hockey.

 

[Jackets16]

Great defensive play there by Johansen.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Man do our players love to flip the puck out of the zone. Look for the freaking outlet!

 

[Robert]

Atkinson needs to be put on a different line....

 

[bizzz*]

No clue.. no more than I know when three Swedes scored a point on the same goal...

No worries. I started a thread on the main board to find it out

 

[Paisano*]

5-0 Blues! That women sitting behind the Wings bench is why they are losing!

 

[BlueJacket2]

Detroit down 5-0....outshot 28-7

 

[Robert]

No worries. I started a thread on the main board to find it out

Cool, I'd like to know... about the Swedes.... lol Just kidding, the Russians.

 

[Renion]

Atkinson needs to be put on a different line....

Think he's been the most effective forward tonight, myself, without scoring a goal.

 

[Skraut]

These guys SKATE! They don't glide like Jackets of yore.

I finally found a bar that had the game. That is the first thing I noticed.

My first impression was that this looked like a pee-wee team, but in a good way. Everyone is swarming, nobody looks in position, but whenever a hole appears, someone hustles his ass off to get back in position, like Johansen did a few minutes ago to knock Weber away from a goal line pass. But the swarming also makes the offense comes in waves, and everything is headed towards the net. There is no "get into the zone, and wait to see where Nash is"

It is total chaos, it'll give up some ugly goals at times, especially with how active Bob is in net, but it seems to be effective so far.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Foligno has some wheels.

 

[Robert]

Think he's been the most effective forward tonight, myself, without scoring a goal.

Me too, with better players was my thought...

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Power play? What was the whistle?

 

[OldGoaltender]

Said it early in the game RyJo looks the part this year.

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Power play? What was the whistle?

Who knows, I hate when they go to break like that without saying what is going on.

 

[alphafox]

Blues blowing out the Wings 4-0 after two..... Are the Wings done??? They have lost a ton of players..

Well, losing one of the greatest of all time, holmstrom, and their core players getting a year older is definitely going to hurt them for a year. This might be the prelude to a reload by the wings in the next couple of seasons. Definitely going to be an interesting time in the Central. Blues, Hawks, and Preds have been chopping down the Wings for a few years, this might be the year the "wheels" finally fall off. (i.e. they finish 4th in the central ahead of us)

 

[Jaxs]

Me too, with better players was my thought...

Flip Dorsett and Atkinson

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Nice shot by Brass.

 

[BlueJacket2]

First time I have noticed Brassard all night, in a positive way.

 

[alphafox]

Can we find a buyer for Brass? He really looks bad.

Disclaimer: I am definitely in the get rid of Brassard camp.

^ lol, perfectly timed

 

[Robert]

Flip Dorsett and Atkinson

Yep.... that's it... lets hope the CBJ staff know more about what they have seen tonight than us...
