GDT: Game 46: Columbus vs. Tampa Bay | 1/13 7PM EST

[Jackets Woodchuck]

puckgame!

 

[MoeBartoli]

We are a power-play juggernaut....at least late

 

[Columbus Jack]

Amazing victory.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Bob was Bob tonight and the power play finally got its act together. Couldn't have scripted that one any better.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Who gets the goal....Johnson or Letestu

Nice job late in the 3rd giving TB a hard time pulling their goalie. Nice job by Anisimov diving to tip the puck out as well.

Also, Carolina lost to Calgary.

Who gets the goal....Johnson or Letestu

TSN boxscore has it Wisniewski from Johnson and Horton. Not sure if that is correct.

That pad save when it was tied and TB had the PP. Game saver.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

TB was 17-1 when leading after 2 before tonight.

 

[Sore Loser]

Huge win ... with Carolina losing, this game is very meaningful. If they can carry on some consistency throughout the rest of the year, the playoffs are absolutely within reach.

 

[db2011]

sure felt strange to feel like the Jackets were the team that was about to score to break the tie and win it late. That was a lot of fun to watch on a crappy internet stream; must have been a blast to be there!

These guys are getting there.

Definitely not Wisniewski. TSN changed it to JJ. I wouldn't be surprised if its changed to Letestu later, looked like he batted it down.

Who gets the goal....Johnson or Letestu

I'm pretty sure it was deflected by Letestu or Johnson?(whoever else was in front) just going by his reaction. I'm pretty sure it's not going to stay as Wiz's goal although I'm sure he doesn't care as long as it went in.

Letestu or Anisimov ... definitely not Wisniewki's goal.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Wiz wasn't really a factor in the goal

 

[Jaxs]

It definitely looked like Letestu got it, after seeing this last replay.

Great game. Exciting. Proud of the resiliency the guys showed tonight. Gave my tickets to some new neighbors so they could go with their kids tonight.

Plus side - Bob is in form. Our lines looked good. One of Johnson's best games in my opinion. Love the tenacity from everyone (Mackenzie on the PK, Anisimov laying out to poke the puck out of the zone at the very end, Tropp/Dubinsky/Johnson not taking anything from anyone).

Downside - We didn't capitalize on as many chances as I think we should have or could have. Could easily have been 5-2 but that's the way hockey goes. Sometimes you don't get the bounces and miss open nets or hit a few posts.

Most important thing was they found a way to win. We're one of the youngest teams in the league yet we have resiliency and are able to battle. That's rare in my opinion.

 

[Seedtype]

That 3rd period was intense!
Huge win. Go Jackets!!!

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

It definitely looked like Letestu got it, after seeing this last replay.

Good thing they didn't give it to Letestu initially. I saw the replay and slightly wonder if it was hit with a high stick. Not sure it would have been conclusive enough to overturn since I couldn't even tell the point it made contact with his stick.

 

[Kfarschman]

Definitely Test Tube goal. That was a huge and ridiculous save by Bob though. Bob was great all game too.

That thought crossed my mind too.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

What a win. Great game to go to.

 

[Crede777]

Anyone else think that Johnson getting snubbed could secretly have been a blessing for the team?

Not to point fingers, but I recall a recent player in Jackets history who would look disinterested and sloppy yet still get All-Star game and Olympics nods. Johnson has looked like a man on a mission since the roster release.

 

[punk_o_holic]

Wiz wasn't really a factor in the goal

Like major major said, TSN ended up changing it. They now have it as Johnson from Wiz and Horton.

 

[Kfarschman]

I'm not sure if he made the score sheet but I'm so happy to have Calvert back! I just hope to the old and new gods that he can stay healthy for the rest of the run.

He's looked like the JJ we saw right after we got him. He's been solid for a bit longer than a month now, but as you said since the roster release he's been beast mode JJ.
