GDT: Game 30: Columbus vs. Los Angeles | 12/20 7PM

[Nordique]

And that is just from inside 270!

Still tickets left. Keep those Pens fans out in the cold Thursday!

yeah, lots of Pitt fans in my office, and they are all going. I'd expect more like 4-5k.

We'll be better Thursday, but Pitt will be good too. The two best records in the league over the last 10 games on a collision course at Nationwide Arena. The same tickets I bought for tonight's game for $45 are $130 on Thursday.

I dropped the kids..... I was just having some fun, it was a first time I ever heard the S word in a presser though...

Stanley Cup???

(Yes, we're getting ahead of ourselves, but I've never been able to use that emoji in here before)

 

[CharlotteJacket]

Jackets were definitely outplayed but got the points. Wish it would've ended on the breakaway. Great to get the points but man the skills competition is a downer from that OT. 3 on 3 is just awesome and tonight's was electric. It's going to cause minor heart attacks in the playoffs.

Unless they changed the rule, it's 5 on 5 for playoffs until someone scores

Gonna need a link to this.

Wrong man was in the net all this time.

 

[Eikka]

Did I see it right that Carter did a **** off gesture with his hand after scoring the SO goal? What a pro.

If Dubinsky wasn't here for that is Calvert the only member who was around during the Carter era?

 

[Ar-too]

Yadda yadda yadda... nice to get a win when you don't play well...

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

And Cam. Maybe Savard?

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

I hope Cam is ok.

 

[candyman82]

And Cam. Maybe Savard?

An injured McElhinney was for about a day.

 

[Heinze 57]

This is so much fun. The Kings are a big team and a bad matchup for our group. Didn't play well against a good team and still won. Isn't that one of the true marks that a franchise has turned the corner? Winning when you don't have your best.


Not sure when it happened, but Jeff Carter passed Roethlisberger as my most hated athlete.


The Pittsburgh game has the feeling of a major letdown. Hope I'm wrong.

16,568 last night. On a Tuesday no less. This City is starting to notice that they have a pretty good hockey team right now.

I think Thursday would be a sell-out even without the Pens fans. Sadly, they have all probably bought their tickets already.

I will be there on Friday, and am looking for the barn to be full.

I was stoked about the high number ... but I'm pretty sure there were a lot of tickets given away tfor families of the local HS hockey teams showcased throughout the game.

 

[Fro]

sounds like a normal post OSU football season number...of course being good helps that

 

[Nordique]

If he did I missed it. I did see him laughing about the boos.

He feeds off of it, and turns it to his advantage, which is the only way to deal with it as an athlete.

Fans love a villain. If they don't have a good one, they'll invent one (i.e. Rick Nash).

I was there, the energy in the building during the OT & shoot-out was pretty cool...................

Oh, & it seemed as if Ceff Jarter was on the ice the entire 3rd & overtime...............

I'll be there as well Friday night.............

 

[DarkandStormy]

Game drew a 2.9 rating in Columbus. Highest rated CBJ game since 2013.

What's going to cause minor heart attacks in the playoffs? It certainly won't be 3 on 3 OT hockey (regular season only)

 

[Heinze 57]

It was great to get a win in the shootout. I'll gladly take it, but how freaking epic would it have been if either Boone had scored on the shorthanded 2 on 1 late in regulation or Saad had scored on the overtime breakaway? Would've been an all-time Blue Jackets moment.

The high school tickets, about 1 to 2K, helped with attendance. But they weren't given away, they were sold at a discounted rate.

 

[MAHJ71]

Per the Dispatch, Atkinson dealing with swelling in his foot from blocking a shot in the 3rd period. Unknown if he plays tomorrow.

Families and Teams had to pay for those tickets. FYI

Ehh Idk about that. That goal basically cemented us into the playoffs (I believe we clinched the very next night against Dallas). we've still got a long way to go, but it would have been epic of Boone put that home for sure.

That's such a great pic. I haven't seen it in forever.
