GDT: Game 20 Columbus at Ottawa 11/17 1:00 EST

RJ seems to be at his most effective being the garbage man around the net. He's very limited creating his own shot but seems putting back rebounds and deflecting shots are his domain.

 

[major major]

Bob! Those are some tough saves his making.

 

[pete goegan]

Bob! Those are some tough saves his making.

He looks very sharp, today.

I question Umberger on the PP when we can't gain the zone and control it. Park his ass in front of the goal tender and he's fine. Ask him to stick handle while being pressured and you're going to have a bad time.

So that's not a question of his presence, the question is his role. And I agree with that.

Considering it doesn't look like Umberger touched the puck, yep, still am.

He did touch the pack according to my vision and NHL scoresheet.

And Bob makes one of those saves that earned him Vezina. He moved from post to post faster than puck.

****ing browns.

 

[NotWendell]

Does our team just hate playing in Columbus?

 

[Jaxs]

Nice. #1 PP in the league

 

[jackets4life]

3/3 and the PP continues!

 

[eljefe72]

Did that puck go between Foligno's legs?

Great. You've just started up the "Columbus Blue Jackets franchise may be looking to move" rumor mill. You know you can't post stuff like that when we play against Canada!!

Ottawa is really god dam exhausted. They take lazy penalties... That tripping on Atkinson was a good illustration. And the Jackets punish them without hesitation. Feels weird.

 

[NotWendell]

Great. You've just started up the "Columbus Blue Jackets franchise may be looking to move" rumor mill. You know you can't post stuff like that when we play against Canada!!

I wonder if there has been a playoff team in NHL history with a better road record than home record?

 

[FANonymous]

Also, I would just like to reiterate. ****ing browns.

 

[Jyrki]

three PP goals in a game?

that has to be some sort of record

 

[CBJWerenski8]

go jackets

 

[jackets4life]

Bobrovsky has been solid today, good to see. Perhaps he and Curtis split starts Tuesday/Wednesday.

 

[bizzz*]

Another turnover by Cam... Seat him for a game. The good thing - Ottawa players can't hold sticks in their hands. The bad thing - they get power play out of it.

 

[MFRONE]

Great PP unit today, it's like a completely different team out there.

 

[MFRONE]

Weak ass penalty.

DMac has been a force on the PK today.

 

[major major]

C'mon boys, stay out of the box.

Needless slashes are easy penalties when all the other guy has to do is let go of his stick. Don't do it when you're protecting a lead.

 

[major major]

Weak ass penalty.

DMac has been a force on the PK today.

I'm hoping DMac is a Jacket for life. Too much easy talk of replacing him. He's the perfect 4th line C / PKer.

Agreed. Ottawa took like 10 shots on that PP and feels like DMac blocked half of them.

 

[NotWendell]

I'm hoping DMac is a Jacket for life. Too much easy talk of replacing him. He's the perfect 4th line C / PKer.

Agreed. Dubinsky should be captain and MacKenzie should take Dubi's A. (And don't think I haven't given serious thought to naming DMac captain!)

 

[EspenK]

Maybe the Jackets just need 19 games to get it going? Another 19-5-5 run would be nice.

On a side note Ottawa looks terrible.

Methot looked tired after the 1st period and Wiz looks fresh after the 2nd.
Former GMDM is complaining about the roughing penalty call against the Senators. Wandering what would he have said if he still was GM.
