GDT: Game 53: Columbus vs. Ottawa | 1/28 7PM EST

[EDM]

We tend to win the games that it seems like we should lose. So I think we pull this one out. While one might think we should be tired, after watching them "play" the last few games, it seems like Horton, RyJo, Dubie and Cam should actually be fairly well-rested.

 

[blahblah]

Not expecting too much tonight with McRebound in net.

I expect a performance within less than half a goal and a .01% difference in shot percentage of what Bob would put up.

I would like to see us come in angry. Not really sure I see that from us often. We come at teams hard, but I rarely see us play all that chippy. Body check hard, sure. Physical, sure. But chippy? Not so much. There are a couple of players that do at times, Dubinsky being the most obvious. Comeau could help out there, although Tropp wasn't exactly bad in that regard.

Did both teams' flights get into Port Columbus?

Oops! Wrong forum.

They really should not be a happy bunch tonight. I would love to see them play a chippy game too. Although I wonder if too much "chippiness" would lead us into too many penalties?

Not sure I care about that. In chippy games, they tend to even out.

This is a game that Boll would be effective. We could use a full on line brawl to get everyone and the fans engaged and focused again.

Here we go

 

[SuperGenius]

Alright. Time to get back to it.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Good start until that shift

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Yeah now Ottawa is swarming

 

[DJA]

McBackup scares the bejeezus out of me. Doesn't look like he ever has any clue where the puck is. Just stands there and lets it hit him.

I'm watching the Ottawa feed on Sportsnet East in Canada. Denis Potvin is doing the color.

 

[DJA]

Is there anyone in the building tonight?

 

[Jackets16]

Do NHL refs hate the fact we were doing good? It sure seems like calls have been lopsided lately.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Doesn't seem like any more or less than a usual weeknight game

Does seem quiet tho

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Shocking. Uncontested walking in the zone. Easy goal through traffic

 

[The Jones Zone]

Call me a Monday morning quarterback.....but it could be a long night

 

[aRussian]

Yeah, great

 

[Columbus Jack]

Umm can anyone explain why our goaltending is awful now? This team is starting to slump

 

[DJA]

I remain calm, unperturbed, even-keeled, and non-reactionary. Hopefully this will be an acceptable reaction in case anyone wants to review this thread tomorrow morning.

It's because they're letting more pucks completely cross the red line.

 

[MFRONE]

Curtis had a clear look right at the shot coming in at 1 mph and he thought it was on the other side...sigh

Wouldn't have had to kill the penalty if Richards would have rightfully benched Calvert

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Team playing with no energy at all. Ugh
