GDT: Game 5: Columbus vs. Toronto | 10/16 7PM EDT
- Thread starter SuperGenius
- Start date
Didn't Golo play a lot of great minutes down the stretch last year, including some with Murray? I went into the summer with the expectation that Golo was way ahead of Connauton/Prout on the depth chart, and I was surprised that the org/Richards had a different opinion.

I didn't mind our play in the first period. It was just 10 minutes of the 2nd where we got owned.
Another depressing ending.. and to be at the game - its been awhile since I heard boos like this and saw someone throw something on the ice..
Maybe I'm insane but, actually making the trip to Chicago tomorrow to witness our first win of the year.... yeah, I said it... CMac & the win train start tomorrow -- woooot!

Indeed. Completely different team came out for the second period and never came back..

You're absolutely correct; and my own season preview of the team had this pairing starting the year together. I think Goloubef is absolutely underrated by this franchise and is far more valuable than Connauton. Tonight was a step in the right direction, Cody is quietly a very good defenseman.
Hopefully, Rychel actually plays tomorrow. They need somebody with recent experience winning in the lineup.
You do not want Torts. As bad as Richards is, Torts will be worse. The guy is not meant to coach in the NHL anymore. I hated watching the Canucks with him
My bigger concern is the county and Nationwide getting sick of losing money and pulling the plug on the arena.
Goals against:
Gardiner goal - Prout slightly mishandling the puck, but the bigger issue is that all five of the guys collapsed low and to the side of the net. Wide open shot for Gardiner. This looks to me like the guys don't trust each other to do their jobs. All 3 forwards went low and to the side to help out Prout and Tyutin, and that's not okay. Collapse around the net, maybe, but not that low.
JVR goal - I'm not sure if Bob misplayed it or not. It was a really well done screen shot, and Bob was slow to pick it up.
Kadri goal - This one's on JJ, obviously. No look pass to the slot. We really need to not do that.
Lupul goal - Another bad angle goal on Bob.
Komarov goal - Obviously Jenner screwed up.

I would put this at zero percent happening. The Arena District is the only shinning star in our bleak downtown and the city and Nationwide won't let anything deter that.
I keep trying to goad Lori Schmidt into asking about the 5 on 5 in the post-game presser, but she refuses to take the bait.

But, another thought: when Bob is confident and gloves/stop a shot, he skates from side-to-side and looks to dump it off -- almost taunting the other team. He is holding on it to for dear life now. The early season has tainted him

Zero chance of this happening. The county is not losing anything and Natiowide is raking in the money.

Hows our advanced stats and all that ****? I'm truly curious. Does it say we're having bad luck or whatever?

Corsi For % 5vs5 ranks us 4th BEST in the league (through 4 games) and Fenwick has us 7th yet we were -10 at even strength:

So, I guess most advanced stat heads would answer yes to that. An advanced stat head should feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

Time for a 12 game win streak then right?
You heard it here first folks. Then again maybe that ******* commercial has me brainwashed. Either way, at least hockey's on.
