GDT: Game 36: Columbus at Pittsburgh | 12/21 7PM EST

[Jaxs]

good on Joey to give the kid a stick.

 

[We Want Ten]

Joey making some fans.

 

[EspenK]

I know its been Philly & a decimated Pens team but I think I see signs of life.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Calvert took a shot on the buttocks...million dollar shot block

 

[The Jones Zone]

Korp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jaxs]

Having trouble in our own zone. Don't get it out when chance is their only to see it worked around for good chances against. Korpi thumbs up.

 

[S1N4TR4]

Super impressive period.

Thoughts: Korpisalo literally looks like Bob in net. Similar in size and netminding play. Absolutely love watching him. So positionally sound.

Borque was noticeable in a good way. Playing very hard tonight.

Murray was iffy..

As for the Pens, you can tell this team is degraded.. Not much push. Surprising considering the "rivalry" between the two teams. Torts' team was def more prepared for the start of the game compared to Sullivan's team.

 

[NotWendell]

I'd be a little nervous if I were McElhinney right now.

 

[OldGoaltender]

I'd be a little nervous if I were McElhinney right now.

I agree and if I am Torts there is no doubt in my mind who I send down.

 

[db2011]

Really want Dubi to score, even just an assist

 

[niflheim]

I'd be a little nervous if I were McElhinney right now.

He is not bad and has assist today accordingly to NHL site

 

[KlichkoBro*]

Wennberg is so consistent in his inconsistency. Terrible with Tampa -- good in Phoenix -- bad with Flyers -- today he had to be good again.

 

[The Jones Zone]

I'd be a little nervous if I were McElhinney right now.

If they would choose to.....can Curtis be sent to Cleveland? (contract terms)


The downside would be Korp not getting much game time experience if Bob comes back strong. He may be better off in Cleveland the rest of this year??

 

[db2011]

Jackets Heroes things choke me up

Typical for a young player

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Jackets Heroes things choke me up

The Jackets choke me up.

Ditto.

He could always be waived. Clear waivers, then go to LEM.

Another downside is Forsberg needs the ice time to improve HIS game. I think he could benefit from a day with CBJ goalie coach as the schedule permits.

I would think (but not know) that the Jackets could waive him and if not claimed they could send him down. Only way they couldn't is if he has a NMC which I seriously doubt.

But I don't think they keep him up when Bob returns. I think they want him playing more than he would if he stays up. My guess is they are saying we are pretty much out of it this year, let's take this opportunity to see what we have in Korp before Bob comes back.

 

[NotWendell]

Attaboy Dubi!

 

[Jaxs]

Way to go Dubi. Don't let that ******** off the hook.

 

[db2011]

Attaboy, Dubi

 

[eljefe72]

Lol, Hornqvist and Malkin both whiff on the check on Wennberg.

 

[NotWendell]

Technically (under the rule the way it's written) that's a penalty, but that still a BS call.

 

[NotWendell]

First team to three loses.

 

[NotWendell]

That's a good goal. Bad challenge.
