GDT: Game 3: Columbus at Buffalo | 10/12 3PM EDT

Some observations:

Wild Bill looks terrific.

Poor Boone misses the net 70% of the time he shoots.

Tyler Ennis is very good at hockey.

3rd.

PK was 23rd. Awful combination.

2nd-most short handed.

 

[Eikka]

These lines have zero chemistry. It would be helpful if Joey realised that the regular season has started.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Why is Boll on this team? He's playing 2 minutes a period.

Didn't you see the FIGHT that really amped the team up.

 

[Jackets Fan]

I'd like to see these D pairs:

JJ Murray
Goloubef Savard
Tyutin Prout

I don't think our D can be improved just shuffling it around.
We look ok IF our forwards play a good 2 way game. The strategy this year looks more aggressive, which puts more on our D. We don't look like we can handle that.

Ah, nothing says "Blue Jackets Hockey" like a must-win game against the Sabres in October.

That Jack Eichel kid is very good too. If they replay this game 3 years from now with all other things the same, Buffalo is up big.

 

[Jackets Fan]

Another PK...seriously?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

We're absolutely dreadful

Hope sarcasm. They effing suck this period.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Moar penalties. The penalty box is hungry.

 

[Zarathustra]

Maybe we can chase some people some more on this PK.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Hey, it's Scott Arniel "throw the puck to the net from anywhere" offensive hockey.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

This team is a mess right now. If they lose this one, is a trade in the offing to shake things up? Maybe Richards is on the hot seat if the losing continues for another week or two?

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Hope sarcasm. They effing suck this period.

It is. He is a waste of a roster spot.

After he is cut next year, nobody in the NHL will claim him. Yet Jarmo handed him 2 mil a year.

 

[Jorge]

I've had more fun talking to AMWAY reps. When are these guys going to get it going?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Forgot to mention that Jared Boll's fight was a great idea and a great fight for Jared but the Jackets did absolutely nothing with the spark.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Captain Foligno with two silly penalties this game. Hopefully he makes up for those brain farts.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Rene Bourque just skied a shot from right in front, all alone, out of play

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Captain Foligno with two silly penalties this game. Hopefully he makes up for those brain farts.

Huh? His first one was really smart. Might have saved a goal

 

[Zarathustra]

It's so frustrating to see us miss the net on our best opportunities.

 

[hockey17jp]

The Jackets have missed the net way too many times so far.

Probably recycle some of the old past strategies:
Players only meeting
Team bracelets (Mine, they can use it though)
3rd jersey night
Call up Ryan Collins (Or someone like him if he's gone)
Trade for some other team's castaway.
Throwback jersey night
'Every man night' (Mine - where the best local player gets a 1 day contract to play)

If all else fails:
New slogan

What the **** are they doing out there? Man...
