GDT: Game 32: Columbus vs. Montreal | 12/23 7PM

[Columbus Mike]

Not feeling good about this one.

Reasons
1. Jackets had a huge emotional win last night
2. Winning streaks don't last forever
3. Montreal will use 10-0 loss as motivation
4. Montreal lost last night and is not accustomed to losing two nights in a row

Prediction
Montreal 4
Jackets 2

In prior years I'd agree with this, but this year the CBJ have a focus and confidence that seems rare. I think they've forgotten last night already, and while they will lose sometime, I don't think it's tonight.

It's almost impossible to believe, isn't it? I mean...

someone married leesmith?

Somewhere in there there must be a great parody...

On the 12th day of Christmas the Jackets gave to us
12 teams a-sulking,
11 teams a wondering
10 teams a mazed
9 teams a fraid
8 teams a bused
7 teams a wed
6 teams a weakening
5 Hartsy goals
4 teams a running
3 teams a hurtin
2 teams a missing
and Ryan Lambert in a **** pot. (alternate take: and Al Montoya in friggin' goal)

Merry Xmas or Happy Holidays (your choice) y'all

I'm regularly hearing my wife say "You're not on the hockey boards again?"

To the point that I respond now "No...I'm looking at porn."

Go big or go home

GDT off to a great start

Damn how can you call this a letdown game when they are playing a team that is top five in the league and only 2 points behind. Yes it was an emotional game last night but it was an anomaly, right? They have already put it behind them, right?

I hope they are already focused on today against another good team looking for revenge.

I'm not on the team so I gave myself until 6pm to get over last night and get focused on tonight

We want 12. Keep it going boys.

I wish it wasn't Montoya.

 

[Cowumbus]

Habs are missing a lot of people tonight, d looks brutal

 

[CreamOfTheCrop]

Is Bob starting in net ?

 

[Cyclones Rock]

I wish it wasn't Montoya.

You'd prefer the reigning league MVP and best goalie in the world?

Montoya has won 3 out of 8 games. Therrien is giving the CBJ a Christmas gift.

Habs got a lot of injuries and playing Montoya. Looks like our team a couple years ago.

Your effort to bring civilization to the people of Columbus is most welcome.

 

[Halfboard]

Anyone know what's wrong with Price?

Anyone know what's wrong with Price?

Played last night.

 

[NotWendell]

Another sellout crowd

 

[MFRONE]

Shoot it Hartnell

 

[Byrral]

Good start. Montoya looks ready to redeem himself. Keep shooting and shooting.

 

[Byrral]

Habs game plan so far: Scramble, survive, ice it.

 

[abs94]

Is this icing strategy kind of like fouling in a pick up game of basketball because you know you cant stop them?

 

[Columbus Jack]

LOL not even close to a hook

 

[MFRONE]

Where was the hook?

 

[Byrral]

Where was the hook?

According to the refs CBJ are the dirtiest team in the league. How many phantom calls have gone against them this year.

 

[Columbus Jack]

Really not taking care of the puck tonight.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

What a boring game thus far

 

[Byrral]

Really not taking care of the puck tonight.

While the speed of the game is certainly different tonight as well.

 

[We Want Ten]

I had to drive to DC today. It appears I have missed not much.

Has Jones come back on the ice?
