GDT: Game 31: Columbus vs. Calgary | 3/22 7:00 PM EDT

[Wanderson]

What is going on with your team? I love it!

 

[Timeless Winter]

What is going on with your team? I love it!

I hope your boys can make the playoffs too, and keep the Rangers out.

 

[Zarathustra]

Who, besides RJ?

And how long have these lines or say certain combos of guys been playing together??

The length of time the players have been playing together is immaterial. If they're not producing now, it doesn't matter how they produced historically. You can't say a player who's 280th is a top six forward because he has been historically.

 

[OldGoaltender]

Not having a top 5 or even top 10 pick might be a good thing. Rather than having a MacKinnon or Barkov as the new star who's expected to carry the team on his back, the whole team has to step up and score by committee.

This is so true it's scary.

 

[Wanderson]

I hope your boys can make the playoffs too, and keep the Rangers out.

Haha, not gonna happen until we change our coach.

 

[blahblah]

Let's not let them get back in it. Finish em here.

[Wanderson]

edit: Woops. Wrong thread.

 

[FANonymous]

Wish our PP was better.

 

[OldGoaltender]

If there has been one weak link this game, and I'm really nit-picking its Nikitin.

 

[Timeless Winter]

Detroit plays Anaheim later tonight.

Go Ducks

If there has been one weak link this game, and I'm really nit-picking its Nikitin.

Yeah, I hope he's gone come the trade deadline. He's been awful all year.

He has improved from the beginning of the season for sure, but still some questionable plays out of him.

 

[OldGoaltender]

I agree. That was a great shift by Cam. He's got to be one of my favorites.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Another power play. Let's get this **** right.

I think after a number of games has passed you can judge whether a guy is no longer top six. How many games, I don't know.

Either way we have 4 guys scoring at a second line pace this year.

 

[wunderpanda]

Foligno needs a hat trick

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Power play is moving the puck okay, we just need to generate more (and better) shots.

And we need more traffic in front of the net.

But I'm just nitpicking at this point.

 

[major major]

Johansen limped off.

 

[USNBluejack]

Hooyah Jackets! Yes!

 

[OldGoaltender]

Johansen limped off.

Saw that. Looked like he twisted an ankle, hope not.

 

[Zarathustra]

Saw that. Looked like he twisted an ankle, hope not.

Flames feed replayed it. It actually looked like he twisted his knee. It kind of buckled when it hit the boards.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

OT: Down goes Georgetown to Florida Gulf Coast U. Wow.

 

[eljefe72]

Nifty steal by Calvert.

Back on the ice. Whew. That Calvert/Atkinson/Artie line is very fast and very talented.
