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

[MAHJ71]

Well, it was fun being here while it lasted - LOL

 

[DJA]

i don't understand a world where Prout, Bodnarchuk, and Falk are on the game roster at the same time

 

[We Want Ten]

I object to the bolded.

Virtually?
Practically?
...
...
...
Completely?

 

[NotWendell]

If I'm McElhinney, I'm a little less nervous right now. LOL

I agree but other than the last one do we really think the other 3 are on Korpi?

 

[Mayor Bee]

These guys play hockey like the Italian national soccer team. Touch em and they hit the ice like bags of wet cement.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I've actually liked Falk's game when he's been up here.

Not really. The D has 2 legit NHLers tonight.

 

[blahblah]

I don't know, he has the change to be the backup again when the Kid is the number 1 goalie and Bob has moved on.

In all seriousness, I expect goals like that from such a young goal tender.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

I think our chances of making the playoffs take a small hit after this game.

that's the only size hit they can take

 

[Fred Glover]

Are there any players on the Jackets who, talent wise, strike fear in the hearts of the opposition? I know Prout strikes fear in the hearts of we fans, but who on this roster tonight strikes fear in the hearts of the other side?

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Well, I went for a walk during the intermission and I stepped in a huge pile of CBJ.



I hate when people don't clean up after their pets

 

[NotWendell]

Perfect!

I would say maybe Johansen before this year...big maybe still

Yeah, from 1% to .8%. lol

This is a key point. We don't have a Malkin or Kessel who are dangers to score just about anytime they get the puck. I know Kessel only has 11 goals but I'd still say he is more of an offensive threat than any Jacket.

Hopefully Bjorkstrand and/or Milano develop into a sniper threat.

I'm sure they pay attention to Saad and Hartnell, but there, clearly, isn't Elite talent to that level outside of Johansen when he's on.

 

[DJA]

I dunno man, I kinda dig Clarkson lately

And herin lies the Jackets problem.

I want to apologize to him for ripping on him...not quite yet though.

I wanna see more from him

definitely still has hands of stone, but he has more of a pulse and goes to the net like a deranged lunatic

 

[DJA]

get #2 off the ice. goodness.

Guy needs to stay on his feet. He is low on my list of concerns with this team. I do not know if that's because he has improved, or the rest of the pack has come back to him. Probably a bit of both.

 

[NotWendell]

C'mon Rusty Falk!
