GDT: Game 48: Columbus at Buffalo | 1/18 7PM EST

[major major]

Arty's just not the same player this season. I wonder if he's nursing a nagging injury?

I don't know, I think he might need a kick in the ass.

 

[SuperGenius]

Anyone else think Arty's defensive game is slipping a bit? Just in the third he let a defenceman walk around him at the point, and before that was slow getting back which led to a 3 on 2 against. Does he need some Tortorella style love?

Arty's just not the same player this season. I wonder if he's nursing a nagging injury?

IMO, Arty has really come on strong the last 8-10 games. I do think he was hurt or something early, but I don't see that now. Not knowing where he was in his shift on those plays you mention, it's hard to really know.

 

[DJA]

Please never interview Tropp again. That was painful

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Typical that Detroit would be the beneficiary of a call like that!

That really could come back and bite us at the end of the season.

Back from the game... it was a hard faught game on both sides but Bob stole the show with his play at the end of the second period and in the shootout... I was concerned when two of the best goalies in the world gave up 4 goals in the first 10 minutes... Foligno was all over the ice, to many names to mention as most of the team was engaged...

Great win for the Jackets, 6 in a row is big... I met several Jacket players at the hotel as well as Jeff Rimer, George Mathews and Aaron Portzline... Jeff Rimer is one hell of a nice guy, we talked at length during his wait for the team bus...

 

[Fro]

at least Det didn't get a ROW...i guess...that was terrible...turrible

 

[NotWendell]

Maetzold: "You probably didn't know six games is franchise record. What does that mean to you?"
Tropp (pausing while thinking to himself "it means this franchise has sucked for a long time"): "Uhhh...."

 

[bizzz*]

Foligno was all over the ice

I'd say Foligno WERE all over the ice

 

[CBJWerenski8]

So RJ sucks Foligno's thumb?

 

[SuperGenius]

I half expect one of these players to respond to Wiant (sp?) and his "six in a row ties a franchise record" question with: "6, that's the most this franchise has ever won in a row? are you effin' serious? wow"

to the same tune as this:



Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic, but I am ready to see a big boy streak. Hope they can keep it going.

 

[SuperGenius]

That really could come back and bite us at the end of the season.

Yeah, it might help determine which lower seed we play in the first round.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Hey guys

Hey, we have sucked for a long time. Sometimes honesty can be rough

 

[NotWendell]

Wow. A winning record at home AND on the road?!?

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Yeah, it might help determine which lower seed we play in the first round.

Exactly my thoughts.

 

[CharlotteJacket]

For all the crap the Metropolitan division took for being weak at the beginning of the season, I think we are playing better than the Atlantic right now

****ing Lee

 

[NotWendell]

****ing Lee

Notice how Toronto added 2 points in that short period of time.

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

Wow. A winning record at home AND on the road?!?

When you combine the regulation losses with the OT losses, their road record is 12-13 - so a losing record on the road (and a .500 record overall)

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Devils just scored. losing 3-2 with 2 minutes to go

 

[DJA]

NJ is going to tie this up, arent they

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Nope. Yotes win.

 

[Derby]

RyJo!

Who?
