GDT: Game 55: Columbus vs. Florida | 2/1 7PM EST

[Halfboard]

Our young core is starting to mature all at once..............they're going to be realllllllllll good, hopefully for a long, long time.

It's funny. Horton drew two guys there and Boone and Joey had a 2 on 1.

They have to cover both Horton and Joey, Boone should be open frequently on this line, the good news is that Jenner is making good on his opportunities.. I may have to eat some crow if he keeps it up...

This new Joey line with Horton and Jenner is unreal....

Too bad not all of them will be on the team when the Jackets win the Cup

 

[CBJWerenski8]

For being shifted all over the place from 4th line to 3rd line, Jenner having 9 goals is pretty nice. Maybe a 20 goal scorer one day?

Times change.... lol The thing is, that was a set up... I doubt many will be here when we win the cup... (backtracking )

 

[Robert]

I like Hinote.... great coach...

I'll be here (if I'm still breathing)

I like his wife as well. Mrs McCarthy....as in the sister of Jenny.

OT... Are you serious? God I wish I was an NHL coach... (or player)

Don't care how many goals he scores - the key part of Jenner's game is hitting hard, winning battles in the corners and being a general pain in the ass. So long as he's doing all of that, the G's will come.

He MIGHT get 20 this year if he plays with Horton and Johansen the rest of the way.

The thing is, that is a 4th line role, he's cashing in on what I call our first line... Joey and Horton have to be considered first line players....

Boone is doing well....

Yep, that is what I was trying to say in the above post.... but this I can say, I'm thinking I'd take Boone on our first line over Umberger.. (Umberger is another player that feeds off of others, as in Rick Nash etc)

What I meant is that it's more important that he's doing the things that will get him goals, instead of forcing the issue to pad his stats. Nomimsayen?

Matchups in the NHL are causing the talent to be a little more spread out. Once teams scout this line, they'll pair them up with better defense. Let's take advantage of this now, though.

 

[Samkow]

Jeff: Thomas didn't win 2 cups.

 

[aRussian]

Tim being unorthodox... I see so much open net to cash in on. Good sprawl save but lets cash on some more of those! Drive up the score!

Got it... hey, I want Boone to get a Gordy Howe tonight, do you think the bench is prodding him to have a fight?

 

[Robert]

Jeff: Thomas didn't win 2 cups.

Yep just one... then he went political rouge, you are on the stats Sam...

 

[bizzz*]

Richards freed up Joey a bit and now he has 4 points in the last 4 periods of play. MacKenzie took all the defensive zone draws while Joey took all his draws in the offensive zone only.

 

[DJA]

We stopped playing again. Sigh.

I want to see it too.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

OH good the typical sit back and watch CBJ

 

[MFRONE]

Time out Richards

 

[cbjfaninmo]

We are on our heels right now. Good timeout. Time to step it up.
