GDT: For Johnny and Matthew | Calgary @ Columbus | 3 PM EST

[ColumbusTrill]

There's no way we're moving Olivier. Dude one of the true unicorns in this league

 

[Viqsi]

Went off to grab leftovers and got back in time to see that second tussle by Olivier. Credit to Lomberg being willing to step up despite being pretty blatantly outmatched.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Lomberg, lotsa stones.

 

[MoeBartoli]

During that last fight Olivier had that wild look in his face like “I’m going to destroy you”

 

[thebus88]

This team has so much more focus and speed with Evason as HC.

Evason may be a superior coach, but, this is nowhere near the same team the last 2 coaches had.

 

[Doggy]

I feel bad for saying this but Boone isn’t a particular good interview

The guy that amazes me is Jock Callender. I realize the guy was a star in Cleveland pro hockey but there is no way he should be given a mic, much less made the color analyst. Sorry, remember him fondly but he's totally a dud during games.

BTW, anyone listen to the Z interview with BobbyMac on his podcast. Really easy going and natural in the interview. Two thumbs up.

 

[thebus88]

It was really a dumb play by Olivier in a game like this. You're dominating a team that is playing like garbage and running a guy like that just to get another guy to fight is just what a struggling team might need to get their heads out of their asses.

If the score was reversed and the Jackets needed a spark, fine. Not needed in a game like this. Luckily it wasn't a major, and Calgary still looks lost.

Nah, it’s all in response to Pospisil on Christiansen.

Hell, did you see Fantilli walking down the tunnel at intermission?? I can only imagine the locker room. If anybody got a “spark”, it IS the CBJ.

Agree. The Cleveland color guy is really bad.

 

[Doggy]

Safe to say next goal is huge. Some might say it's critical.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Elvis please don't blow your great game so far. Jebus.

 

[Viqsi]

okay, yeah, I can see why Elvis would be ready to murder Weegar.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

4-1 FINALLY FANTILLI! Great pass by Marchy and Fantilli doesn't miss on a 2-on-1.

Edit: Oh yeah I forgot he scored in the first already. Lol.

 

[joybang]

Needed that goal. Hopefully Fantilli takes off.

 

[MoeBartoli]

I’d have bet money Marchenko was going to shoot but instead he makes a great pass to Fantilli who cashes big!

 

[Doggy]

Dani "Marchenko" Rojas: Hockey is Life!!!!

Great pass on Mo's goal.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Bad penalty, KJ.

 

[Doggy]

I hope Ollie can take a couple weeks off from fighting. Don't want every team's puncher challenging him the next couple weeks just for the heck of it.

 

[stevo61]

give up the entire middle of the ice on the PK

 

[AndBoomGoesTheCannon]

give up the entire middle of the ice on the PK

Yeah bad defense but the shot was far enough out and an unobstructed view so I expect goalie to stop it most of the time.

Yes everyone expects every shot to be a save. Meanwhile I'd love to see our guys get those looks

That fight was so weak it really didn't warrant a response. Really should have been roughing except they dropped the gloves.

If we were losing or looked flat, yeah, but we didn't need a spark. Columbus was dominating all game.

That second fight with Olivier didn't even wake up Calgary, and that is what Lomberg was trying to do. Columbus pretty much had this game from the start.

 

[ViD]

Marchenko 1+2 tonight and 23 points in 22 games

Three stars of the game

Mathieu Olivier
Kirill Marchenko
Adam Fantilli

 

[Viqsi]

g-ddamn that was beautiful

 

[Seedtype]

Great homestand.... now can we do better on this road trip?

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Marchenko 1+2 tonight and 23 points in 22 games

And is it just me but has he even looked *that great*? I mean he's been good and plenty dangerous, just maybe not quite at that superstar level yet. Hopefully another level still in him and that can bring even more points.

Good win in any case. 13 and 21 make 5-2 if you put them the right way.
