Oh well, .500 road trip just win tomorrow.

 

[MFRONE]

Wow, a team that can score on an EN. Hope TR was taking notes.

Worst effort of the season, just no excuse after a ton of rest and playing a bad team.

 

[Halfboard]

Pitiful performance. I'm out.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Horrible horrible game. Burn the game tape and piss on the ashes.

 

[aRussian]

Jackets still have two drag lines.Take our first two down and you've pretty much got the game in the bag. What: is a Boll gonna change momentum with a big hit or a Calvert gonna change momentum with some big hits/disruptions/agitation?

This lineup lacks

 

[The Jones Zone]

good blanking night

 

[MFRONE]

Don't think we played that bad, save for some really bad penaltys. Credit the Leafs, they've completely shut the door on the Jackets.

They were bad. Jackets let a bad team shove them around and showed 0 urgency to win the game.

Sounds like akid who gets beat up:

Well, you're stupid

You say things like this so much, it's loses all meaning.

We've had worse performances on this road trip. Take the Arizona game for example.

 

[ndd17]

This game was loss in the first period.
Well, tomorrow will win.

 

[NotWendell]

Yeah I concur. We played badly overall.

 

[BluejacketNut]

I still cant believe we give a charity spot to Boll, they need to upgrade a couple bottom 6 plyers if we ever want to do anything in the playoffs

 

[SuperGenius]

Amazed that there's so much to discuss about a guy that plays 8 minutes and change in the game.

Feel like I've seen this post before

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Was pretty cute to see the Leafs act like they won the Cup after that ENG. Good for them I guess.

That's how bad he sucks.

 

[Jyrki]

Calvert and Atkinson are just ew at the moment. Dubi can't carry them with their lethargic play.

Maybe if Horton wasn't made of glass... damnit.

 

[EspenK]

Forgetting the reasons like so and so was out for X games, etc, we currently have one line that seems capable, that being the Joey line.

The other 3 lines struggle, are playing up in the lineup, etc.

I'm not sure of the exact number of shots we wound up with, but towards the end of the game we were at 17, or 50% of what Toronto averages in giving up.

 

[Zarathustra]

Look at it this way, in our last 6, we've won at a 2:1 ratio. If we can somehow manage to continue that pace, then that puts us close to 100 points at the end of the season.

Dubi should look in the mirror. Hasn't looked right or played like the Dubinsky of last season yet this year. I know he missed like 30 games, but it's time for him to step up.

Good point.

Thought about mentioning that Dubi's been really mediocre lately, but didn't want to be accused of boat rocking. Agreed.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

You'd never know Calvert and Atkinson are in contract years. Not good.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Sure would like to see Atkinson step it up.

No goals in his last 10 and just 1 goal and 3 assists in his last 19 games.

I think we're getting to the point where we need to throw Rychel and Dano into the fire. Luke Adam might just be another Brett Harkins/Geoff Platt but given the lack of secondary scoring, it's worth a try.

They can't be worse than Boll at least.
