GDT: Game 6: Columbus at San Jose | 10/23 10:30PM EDT

- Start date
This thread is a prime example of the bipolarness of HF. We went from sucks trade everyone to Cup contenders. I know that Joey's role model is Thornton, but Thornton only wishes he had sick mitts like RyJo. RyJo is unstoppable with the puck. I really like that first line, I think it stays in tact when the injured return. I'm not going to be so quick to judge Wennberg, he's in his 6th game, as a rookie, adjusting to NA ice. Eventually this team is going to look unbelievable with RyJo, Wennberg and Dubinsky down the middle.
Tonight will be two of the hottest offensive pairings in the league (RyJo-Foligno and Perry-Getzlaf) going against each other. Should be fun. I didn't think after our efforts the last couple of games that this group could compete, but they're proving me wrong.

Best of all worlds for me. I dvr'd it. (free Center Ice until 10/31-check it out if you have cable) Watched this morning. Agree with Kev definitely a bipolar board. As was the team. They looked like crap in 1st then like SC champs in the 2nd. And up, down, and up in the third.
Favorite thing of the thread:
lee's gifs. Laughed everytime.

Went to bed after the 1st, lol.
One thing on the waved off goal - Didn't look like Foligno was anywhere close. The SJ guy was laying on top of Niemi.
Great comeback.

No rush, we have him for just $4 million per year average annual salary for next 3 years
To be fair, the team was bi-polar. They sucked the first period AND gave up a 3rd period lead, but managed to get the rust off come back from two deficits to beat a perennial playoff team on the road. I don't remember the "trade everyone" comments, just complaints about the 4th line being a downgrade from last year's 4th line, Wennberg should be in the minors and Goloubef should be done for awhile as a starter.
Great to see what these guys are doing. Johansen will break 80 points this year, his size is dominating, add his improving skill and this kid is going to be an absolute force!

That goal should never have been waived off, bad call. Karma on our last goal.

What, me worry?
Watched the highlights this morning. First of all, fantastic win. Tough to complain about anything.
Now for the "BUT" monkey.
Damn, do we need to tighten our D up. Too many in close chances for the Sharks, and too many defensive zone turnovers for my liking. Granted, San Jose is a damn good team, but you can't give them four goals very often and still beat them. Both of these last two road games we seem to be allowing the home teams to set the tempo. We gotta make them play Jackets hockey.
Watching the slow motion replay of the disallowed goal, I agree that it was a BS call. The only guys interfering with the goalie were the two Sharks players. Not only was Foligno not interfering with him, but it was even questionable if he was in the crease when the puck went in. However, I don't fault the War Room. I think they back the Refs on their call, just as I think they would have allowed the goal had the on-ice officials called it a good goal. Glad the boys made it a moot point.
Once again, great win, and much needed with three games in four nights (BRUTAL). Hoping for at least 2 more points on this trip. The boys play CBJ hockey, and we could get all four, but the fatigue factor will be a big issue.

Classic HF. The guys who didn't bother to stay up and watch the team log on the next morning and criticize the comments. Must be nice to be so calm and collected and unemotional during a crazy ass game.

Invisible rookies are not necessarily bad things.
People seem to forget that playing in the NHL is hard, and it takes time. I'm sure this is really nothing more than an extended cup of coffee due to Dubinsky and Jenner being out. It's probably a good idea to leave expectations of this kid being an instant Jeff Carter or similar at the door. Maybe eventually, but jeez, not in his first year. Remember how lost Joey looked at times?

Not sure if this was aimed at me or not, but whatever. I guarantee you that Richards is telling the boys the same things this morning. Only because your post came right after mine.

This is what kills me after every game. A select few self-righteous posters like to chime in on comments made during the ebb and flow of the game.

In Florida so with no Fox Ohio to watch I didn't see this one. I did read the recap, and saw the highlights on Yahoo. I also read HF.....sounds like from everything RyJo was a beast again.....but saw fewer props for Letestu than I expected. So I thought I would add some - here's to TestTube for a shorty and then a game winner!

i pretty much don't go back and read the threads anymore...just the last page or so...pretty much for that reason...I saw the game, I know how I feel/felt...
oh well...what a game...if you missed it, i'm sorry...the 4 hrs of sleep i actually got, the win made it worth it
Nah, not you. More the complainers who don't watch but call posters "bipolar" who are simply commenting on the game in real time. The first period last night was a disaster and to expect no one to be negative at the time is just a bit too holier than thou and pious for me (especially if you didn't even watch the frigging game!)

Was it even reviewable? I thought judgement calls by refs on goalie inteference weren't able to be reviewed, but didn't pay close attention to the new video review rules.
IMHO, even without 17 & 38, it is time for Wennberg to sit, move Letestu back to center and let Dano play.
