WOW!

HALAK!!

 

[Falco Lombardi]

HALAK!!!!!!!

What a save!

 

[uncommonsense52]

Yay, incompetent officiating again! Hooray for the NHL! Again!

And we win. Good work on the PK there. 6 on 4.

 

[brendan]

And this is why Halak is the no. 1 goaile

 

[DatDude44]

so glad the halakness monster is back

 

[Vladys Gumption]

I don't agree with that call. Jackman has a right to reach for the puck.

Not to mention he already had the inside lane and Atkinson tried to go through him.

 

[Mike Liut]

It's amazing what good goal tending does

 

[Captain Creampuff]

halak no. 1 star

 

[illninofan*]

Lol anyone else hear the victory song?

Could of sworn I heard that playing.

Another attempt by the refs to screw the Blues. Glad it didn't work this time. And if those sad pathetic jerks in stripes had money on the game, I hope they get their knees broken by a mob enforcer.

 

[Sushiko]

the song is certainly stuck in my head!
Glad for Halak back and another win!

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Halak...Wow!!!

That was what we goalies like to call...sick nasty.

An icepick to that balls as well as putting their head in a vise would be proper as well.

Points if you get the reference.

Pietrangelo is playing terrible this season. If I were Shattenkirk's agent this offseason, I wouldn't take a dime less than what the Blues pay Petro because this season, Shattenkirk is the better player.

Pietro played very good tonight. I love Shattenkirk, but you are wrong here.

Jaroslav Halak on his back save

Honestly, I believe they are closer than you would think. Petro has made a ton of mistakes this year, and Shattenkirk seems to be getting stronger. I think Pietrangelo's "good" is better than Shattenkirk's "good", but at this point, I really think they are closer than you may think

 

[Fred Murtz]

Barret Jackman iffy boarding call.

Columbus' goal was the first goal allowed by Halak at home since March 31, 2012.

Sorry but I can't agree with you. Shatty has been very very good this year, but he cannot control a gam
like Petro can.

Exactly. Pietro does amazing things in tight spaces. Not that Shattenkirk is bad at it, but he isn't on Pietro's level. Admittedly, Pietro has been making mistakes in those tight spaces this season, but we're talking about 16 games of inconsistency. Jumping off the bandwagon and crowning Shattenkirk over the guy who finished a finalist for the Norris at age 22 is short sighted.

Nice game for the blues. Cole and Schwartz played great.

Just got back from the game. I saw a mighty ONE Blue Jackets fans there. Well represented.

And that one poster is right. Pitbull was indeed the victory song haha.

The Jackman call was atrocious. Atkinson beat him to the puck so Jackman put a clean hit on him. Boarding is a joke. Really what is Jackman supposed to do there? This league really makes no sense. The inconsistency is ridiculous.

Halak was really good. Made at least 3 really nice saves. I'm surprised he looks this good following the injury.

I have liked Stewart's game overall this season.

Schwartz plays pretty well on the 4th but man I still would much prefer having an actual grinder in that spot like Porter. We still could use a bit more grit and physicality down there.

Overall I thought we played fairly well but not perfect.
