GDT: Game 5 - Columbus vs Tampa Bay - 1/21 7:00 pm

[MoeBartoli]

Why are we back to 3-8, 58-44? Let’s keep them split for a bit

Torts and Shaw are certainly smarter than me, but gosh it seems like a move begging to be tried. I actually wonder if Jones and Z are lobbying the coaches to continue as a pairing.

The only person slowing down TEXIER this year so far is Torts ... anchoring Foligno to his line

There really isn't any combination of players to come up with without an anchor on each line the way we've started

 

[Monk]

I vote they just keep the music going during play

Unless you put all of the anchors on the same line

 

[aRussian]

Well... I think that there are certainly more than 3 players I'd consider anchors at the moment XD
Some anchors, a lot of "just here for the tshirt" players, and a few commanding players.

As a former goalie and defenseman, I had to drop by and say that the shot deception on Bjorkstrand's goal was just silly. That is the stuff of nightmares for goaltenders and shot blockers. He froze arguably the best goalie in the world and beat him SHORT SIDE from his OFF WING. Bananas!

In one of our recent games , they were discussing Bjorks ability to hide his release .. one of the few bright spots this season so far is Bjork

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Probably the best period of the year

 

[aRussian]

Pretty even period. Glad we came out on the upside of that one

 

[wahsnairb]

Domi was buzzing that period... good thing you guys got him and not that bust Suzuki

 

[Columbus Jack]

Great period, serious effort and some bounces our way. Cam just seems so slow out there, that and he turns the puck over every time he gets it. I guess it's better he's getting it more often tonight?

It's great to hear it's getting the recognition it deserves. I know exactly how Vasilevskiy felt watching that reply, but there's almost nothing he could've done. Bjork's entire body language read "shot" but no shot came. Crazy stuff.

Id say easily the teams best period but it has me confused as to why the line blender was still in use

 

[ReggieRed]

Why didn't someone tell me the game was on NBCSN? Missed the first 8 minutes under the assumption that it was on FSO and thus not available through my Hulu subscription!

Random fact: Dean Kukan was on the ice for 7 of Tampa's shots on goal in the first period. Impressive considering that they had 10 SOG overall.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Was just going to post that PLD TOI was less than 4 minutes in the first.

Torts is obviously tired of his shit attitude

 

[pled]

is it me or does it smell like the rivalry is getting strong. kinda hating the lightning for no reason.

What shit attitude?

He definitely looked like the weakest Dman; wasn't defending strong and definitely was not moving the puck up the ice well.

 

[ViD]

I noticed that Domi was with Grigs and Cam at the end

 

[aRussian]

Random thought: I dislike coaches wearing masks because I can no longer clearly see when Torts says "[explicit]!"

I'm watching the game on FSO.
