GDT: Game 29: Columbus at Vancouver | 12/18 4PM

I would love to know what the $$ on the board is for this one.

I don't think coaches participate in that, plus he's already been back to Vancouver with us already and won 2-1 in a SO. I would be shocked if he doesn't act like this is any other game to the team. I'm sure he wants it inside, but would never let anyone know that.

C'mon boys, let's get Torts' 500th against the Canucks in their barn

 

[CBJfan44]

Get this one for Torts!

 

[MFRONE]

What a sleepy start. Jackets are lucky that Sedin can't finish because it could easily be 2-0 Canucks

 

[Jaxs]

Need to find legs.

 

[MoeBartoli]

My...what a sloppy start for us.

 

[aRussian]

How many minutes of uninterrupted play was that? That was a ton of back and forth with neither team establishing in the zone. Vancouver got the better shot qualities, though

 

[Jaxs]

Need to take better care of own zone.

 

[MFRONE]

Jackets starting to find their legs

 

[Halfboard]

very sleepy so far....

 

[Hello Johnny]

Can't tell if it's the ice or what but both teams are very sloppy.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Glad to close 0-0....;I have to say my anxiety rises a bit whenever the Sedins are on the ice. They just have a way of creating good opportunities.

 

[aRussian]

Neither team giving the other any room, very good period in terms of defense and speed. Need to find a way to get some control over the play if we want to get to playing our way instead of the run and gun game we have going

 

[Columbus Jack]

Not a very good period so far, I think the Canucks take that first period against us.

 

[NotWendell]

5 shots to 3. Sizzling!

 

[major major]

What'd they just have circus elephants in there? That ice is useless. Might as well put them in shoes.

At least Werenski was looking good, nice defensive plays. He had trouble in bad ice games earlier in the year, seems to have figured it out.

 

[Jaxs]

Quite a few turnovers that have ended up in Bob's lap.

 

[MAHJ71]

That and I bet plan is to play McElhinney on Tuesday night so Bob is ready for the big Pens/Habs back-to-back.

I think we win today, but the LA game on Tuesday may be a loss coming off the road trip.

Which would suck considering a win today ties the franchise best winning streak (9 games) .... and Tuesday be for setting the new record.

 

[Jyrki]

What a moribund period of hockey. Jackets clearly not at full speed, thought Foligno and Jones in particular looked slow. Thankfully the Canucks are awful, we'd be down 2 if it were prime Sedins out there

 

[Jaxs]

Rebound goal by Cam.

 

[MAHJ71]

Cammmmmmmmm!!!!

 

[Columbus Jack]

Wooooo cam

 

[Jyrki]

Cam! That was too easy lol

 

[aRussian]

Leave it to the PP. Very good movement, very good screen by Figs, very good eyes by Cam to connect on the rebound. A+!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

15 years of Zach leading the PP......heh.
