GDT: Game 43: Columbus vs. Carolina | 1/9 7PM EST

[blahblah]

I'll go back to my assessment during the Florida trip. This is the stupidest, laziest and most undisciplined roster we've ever iced in Columbus. That's on Jarmo.

I'm not sure about lazy, but this is a fair criticism.

As far as stupid; we did have JLGP - he's dumber than this whole roster combined.

And coaching

And don't forget the players.

It is a perfect storm. The Jackets are around a .500 team under Torts. I don't know if they can keep up that pace.

Possibly true as the trending is not good. I really believe the only thing that could keep this team above .500 is Bob. Under Torts his record was good and he covers a ot of sins when he is on his game.

I agree. Dumb, yes. Lazy, no.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Carolina is playing its 5th game in 8 nights. They were in Vancouver and flew home for yesterday's game. They flew up to Columbus today.

They are tired. But we are bad.

 

[NotWendell]

And coaching

Expound on that.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

We look so bad as a team. They're cycling it so easy on us and we can't even grab the puck.

 

[We Want Ten]

Wennberg!

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Expound on that.

Continuing to play guys who do the stupid penalties. Nothing changed since Richards in that capacity. No consistent accountability

 

[ReggieRed]

There's a "hustle play" for you!

 

[punk_o_holic]

Nice to see Wennberg not give up and get rewarded with a goal.

 

[niflheim]

Wennberg? I don't believe

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Come on boys! Get another one!

 

[We Want Ten]

For dealing with the injuries this club is, is the product really that bad or surprising? The dumb penalties I get, but it's a 1 goal game with our 4th netminder out there. What realistically can we expect?

 

[MoeBartoli]

Amazing that somehow we are still in this game.

 

[jackets4life]

Continuing to play guys who do the stupid penalties.

Yeah pretty sure you can't bench 8 guys...

 

[cbjfaninmo]

What realistically can we expect?

Another beer.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

nm.....

 

[ReggieRed]

That make twice I've noticed that Rimer has gone with "Warren Rychel"

Can't sit half the team. Coaches have to work with the roster the GM provides them.

By Rimer standards, that's pretty close.

 

[NotWendell]

If anything, we should feel really good about our 3rd and 4th string goalies.

I agree that it's not that bad given the circumstances you mention.

But it's still not good. The Jackets aren't playing smart, and they're not kicking ass either. That's what's upsetting folks.

 

[NotWendell]

That should be too many men

 

[We Want Ten]

If anything, we should feel really good about our 3rd and 4th string goalies.

Honestly, I feel better about #3 and #4 then I do about #2. I really miss #1 though.
