Game 34: Columbus at Arizona | 12/17 9PM EST

[CBJWerenski8]

Saad-Wennberg-Hartnell is a good line that needs to stay. Also liked the Dubi line.

 

[DJA]

Do you sit Joey again Saturday night vs Philly?

I would, but unfortunately it probably doesn't help his trade value if we're going that direction.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

This is it...this is the start of the winning streak that will take us into the playoffs

Take that to the bank

lol

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I put Joey back in there if he has a good few days of practice.

Do you sit Joey again Saturday night vs Philly?

Good question. How badly Joey needs Brassard like shocking therapy? "Doghouse" is very dangerous tactics with unpredictable sequences for Joey and his Ego.

 

[We Want Ten]

This win must really burn some "fans".

Do you sit Joey again Saturday night vs Philly?

see how he scores on the quiz during the plane ride home

Maybe Torts should give him the game tape and let Joey tell him what the Jackets did right, and what they did wrong??? Reverse Psychology

 

[We Want Ten]

Philly was pretty soft last time we played them. I'd play him hoping he can get it going.

 

[KlichkoBro*]

lol, CMAC just gave up a rebound on a dump in. Anyone else catch that?

He really did. I was laughing at that moment.
In general he directly responsible for 3 goals against. Hopefully Korpi starts with Philly, at least he's played one good game this season.

Yep, something like this probably best method for Joey.

Do You mean CBJ's die hard glory-hunters?

 

[niflheim]

Most strange season for me. And we are not alone in this universum ( see Ducks at West)

I would, stings a lot more at home when his fan club of ice girls see him scratched

You are so heartless, our ice girls never forgive You

 

[Viqsi]

I missed this because when I was only half awake, I tuned back into the second period just long enough to see us go down 3-2. So I went and actually got some sleep.

We all make mistakes sometimes, apparently.

 

[EDM]

So we are now 3-0 without the Number One Center in the lineup ?????

Surprising, sometimes, how replaceable are the irreplaceables.

 

[MAHJ71]

Well .. I missed my first one on all year. Sounds like it was some good entertainment.

But I did call 6-5 - forgot the EN

EDIT: Who won the Boll vs Scott scrap?

Boll. It wasn't a real slugfest but Boll got the better of him, then took him down. And going by hockey rules, he who tackles, wins.

 

[Dr. Fire]

This is funny in a way.

CMac wins a game where his SV% is .844. So he wins a game where his SV% goes down, and his GAA goes up. Makes me and at the same time.

Of course it helped that Lindbacks SV% was .600, and his replacements was .800. 7 goals on 20 shots. Won't see that very often.

Hope the CBJ thanked the Yotes goalies on the way out.

And rightfully, Torts was not happy.

"You wanted entertaining. I don't have any other word for it," Tortorella said. "I was not entertained, but I'm sure you guys were."

And his team won.

Two things disappointing in perusing the GDT:
1) No one posts the Ron Paul "It's happening!" GIF after Clarkson scores.
2) No one points out that, based on the last two games, as long as we score more than 5, we'll be just fine.

And speaking of disappointing, here's a hot take on Johansen:
I really don't think the organization wants to trade him. I buy Tortorella's "part of the process" bit. And yes, perhaps the nature of last night's game will make him regret getting benched even more. I don't know whether I'd sit him again or not. If they just wanted to give him a slap on the wrist, he's back in. But if they feel there's something interesting to the lineup, then he should sit.

Goals won't always be that easy to come by, though, even with Clarkson in the lineup.

I can't get tweets or gifs to work so I had to quote it. Sorry. It in fact was happening.

 

[MAHJ71]

If we sit him again is it wrong to assume we are set on trading him?

I'm sure most of you know I'm not a big fan of his but, I think scratching him a second consecutive game will only do more bad than good... Just a gut feeling.

 

[MAHJ71]

Boll. It wasn't a real slugfest but Boll got the better of him, then took him down. And going by hockey rules, he who tackles, wins.

Did Prout win his or was it not really a fight? Reading Portzline's Twitter it said he was getting into at the same time as Boll/Prout..

 

[We Want Ten]

We really need a new backup goalie.
