Bet Toronto says "close enough." Not enough video evidence to overturn the call on the ice. :sarcasm:

Yeah and if the queen had balls she'd be the king

Major you are really an apologist tonight. We;re down 4-1 shoulda, coulda,woulda, we've sucked. End of story.

And have we quit forechecking? I haven't seen much of it tonight. Or since the Dubi hit.

If you play the way we are tonight most of the time we'll win most of the time. And you guys are quitting on the season already. Its shameful.

So...Bob hasn't been good, but is anyone serious suggesting that the reigning Vezina winner is a lost cause after 12 games?

Not sure what lost cause is.... no he is not a lost cause, he's just not been what he was during our near playoff run last season... Perhaps the CBJ actually sucked last season too and Bob masked it? Who knows, but this I do know... we need better defense and goaltending to advance in the coming weeks...

Oh, scoring too... lol

Bob was slow to get going in the KHL last year, and ended with a .932. Then he was slow to get going for the Jackets last year, and ended with a .932. This year he's slow to get going for the Jackets....

I know.... I read that somewhere too.... with some luck Bob will not need a running start in the future... early standings often lead to final standings..

I hope you're being sarcastic. What else would you expect? What would happen in the Nat?

I imagine they would show the replay on the board and people would recognize the difference between a goal and a no goal. It's not like the puck was in someone's pants and then crossed the line, or was "kicked in" by the one skate on the ice.

Coaches can't turn pluggers into snipers. All they can do is get the players to work hard and play smart, and we're doing that. Based on the quality of our effort I'd sooner give Richards an extension than let him go.

There are other things a coach does system wise that can improve a team, but I understand your point. Richards has done a quality job with the most important parts of coaching, however a Stanley cup winning coach is likely not to be available for long, and if there is any chance of replacing the coach in the near future Laviolette is a pretty good option.

Who says he would even want to come here?

If the East is built on rushes up the ice instead of cycling why wouldn’t we have Erixon here? Just a thought.... never mind.
