GDT: Game 30: Columbus at Pittsburgh | 12/9 7:30PM EST | TV: NBC Sports

Too much run and gun, that's the Pens' game.

Tyutin and JMFJ were on the ice for one and a half minute defending against Crosby's line. And then Malkin came out fresh. Whoever made the icing prior to the goal deserves some blame as well.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Too much passing, we're not going to score pretty on these guys. Keep firing.

 

[NotWendell]

Good effort, but let's get back to playing OUR game.

 

[jackets4life]

Looked like we got back to our game the last few minutes of the period or so. Penguins controlled most of the period and we were lucky to escape with just 1 GA.

 

[major major]

Bylsma keeps putting Crosby's line out there against Johansen's line. You'd think it would be Coach Richards trying to get a good defensive center like Johansen out there to shut down Crosby, but its Bylsma who wants the match. He probably figures Crosby will keep Johansen busy and with him out of it Columbus can't score and it'll be Malkin versus the rest of the Jackets. It looks like he's right. Johansen is gasping on the bench.

I think it was RJ.

It seems like pro hockey teams in general are terrified of dumping the puck on goal and mucking and grinding to get the rebound goal anymore.

Keep firing, but it only works if we keep sending the second man at the net for rebounds and loose pucks. Guys have been high in the zone or down on the cycle and not ready to cash in.

 

[NotWendell]

Let's get em boys!

 

[Fro]

C'mon boys...tie this up

 

[NotWendell]

Except for the penalty, Savard is having a nice game so far.

 

[InauguralCBJFan]

This is hands down a more enjoyable telecast than the FSO crew.

 

[Samkow]

Good for Tropp to try and fire up the team. But he's not a very good fighter.

 

[MFRONE]

Dumb fight by Tropp. Don't take a beating after delivering a clean hit.

 

[jackets4life]

Good for Tropp to try and fire up the team. But he's not a very good fighter.

Agree, I still like it out of him though, threw a real good hit on Niskanen.

 

[NotWendell]

Now THIS is Blue Jackets hockey.

 

[Aspie with attitude]

This is hands down a more enjoyable telecast than the FSO crew.

Agreed!

 

[jackets4life]

That's a tough goal to stomach

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Agreed!

I just mute the TV and listen to the radio broadcast anyway, so it doesn't bother me either way.

 

[Jyrki]

Can't say I expected any better.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Like I said, the Pens will get their goals.

We must score.

 

[MFRONE]

Have to make an attempt to score if you want to win games like this. Dumping behind the net after clean offensive face off wins or when you have numbers entering the zone won't win games.

 

[MFRONE]

Nice job Dubinsky

 

[JacketFanInFL]

And one of our best offensive player takes himself out of the game.
