You forgot about the possibility of a 0-0 shootout win, bonehead.
He said "outscore", so yeah, still, if the Jackets outscore their opponent in the shootout then they do in fact win

That's not true for GMJK though. He admitted he made a mistake trading for Gaborik. Of course, he hasn't come clean yet on his mistake trading away Gaborik.

My thoughts on the game..
1. It's nice to have a good goalie back in net for us. Bob had a great game.
2. You could definitely tell Atkinson wanted a second goal today. Had a lot of shots on goal. Johansen had a good third period. Jenner seemed to do well in the face-off circle.
3. I know Savard takes some heat from people on here, but I'm starting to like his game. He has improved significantly over the last 2 years. Think he's an NHL level D-man. I pretty much wrote him off 2 years ago when he tripped over his skates against LA flubbering away a goal. I can't be the only one that remembers that sequence or game for him there.

Think he's a top 4 D now, maybe someday a top pair guy. Good at both ends of the ice. Great shot, good passer, reads the game well, great reach and strength, can flatten guys and tie up sticks well, etc.. Clumsy looking and slow, yes, but considering that he rarely gets beat.

All they have to do is convince Marty that the Jackets are a strong Cup contender for this year.

A little late to the party, but here goes my observations from the game last night...
-The crowd was very meh up until the end. The opening Bobrovsky montage with Jay and Dan was absolutely hysterical, hopefully I can find that online somewhere.
-The Hartnell-Jenner-Atkinson line was awesome, they were buzzing around in the offensive zone and had several great forechecks established and some good chances. I'd like to keep that line together when healthy.
-Johansen had his moments and looked good, but I really wish we had a more skilled winger playing alongside him and Nick. Gibbons has his upside of being tenacious (at some times), but the team reeeeally should look to add skill to that line. Or try Anisimov on the wing there and put Dubinsky in AA's spot. Also, Cracknell had a solid game, he has looked good in the last few imo.
-Bob was Bob. Don't need to say anything else than that! He looked extremely sharp and focused. Very little rebounds given up by him....which brings me to my next point
-Niemi gave up some massive rebounds that I feel like the team couldn't pounce on (especially the first period). Not sure if that was because of poor positioning or SJS playing well defensively in front of Niemi.
-Leopold was a great acquisition imo, especially given the circumstances. Even when healthy, I like this move. Basically the equivalent of having Nick Schultz back in the lineup. If he can play like he did last night consistently, I will feel a hell of a lot more comfortable on the backend. D in general was much better, too. Except for JMFJ, get him off the PP he can never hold the puck in the zone!
-Lastly, here are my thoughts of what the lineup should look like in the next week or two when we are close to healthy (forward-wise, who knows about the D)
Foligno-Johansen-Anisimov/Gibbons
Hartnell-Jenner-Atkinson
Calvert-Dubinsky-Anisimov/Gibbons
Cracknell-Letestu-Skille

CBJ would still have outscore the opponent in the shootout to get the win. Final score is 1-0, dicknose.
(to be clear, the name calling is done in jest since I figured Major's was too. Name-calling is generally not cool.)

Foligno Johansen Wennberg/Anisimov
Hartnell Jenner Atkinson
Cavert Dubinsky Anisimov/Wennberg
Skille Letestu Gibbons
dang. that looks like a good team..

Yeah I only name-called to make fun of name-callers, and to prove your point that people will argue anything. Glad you caught the joke.
It'll be hard to beat the Tropp-Letestu-Mackenzie line we had in the second half last year. They had a month or so where they scored a goal for every 10 minutes or so of ice time. I hope folks know how amazing that is.

This is not my hat.
I do remember that sequence actually. I've paid attention to him closely, and a few years ago I took a lot of heat because I was adamant that I thought he would turn out to be better than Moore.
I just saw the Nick-Bob hug after this game. They can't break that up. EVER. That's as much of a tradition as the cannon at this point.

I've seen a lot of NHL since 1971..... Nicks Dad Mike jumped after every goal he scored... I like the Nick hug of Bob better, very unique, and a something I can't wait to see him do more of…..
2 wins down, 7 more to go to make up for the 9 game losing streak.
