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

[Jackets Fan]

Another piss-poor start. Who didn't see that coming....
Terrible goals allowed by Bob too. He's better than that.

 

[JKG08]

I feel like the line combos are horrible.

When Atkinson is averaging a point per game, leave him on the damn first line. Don't break that line up, it was working!

Wennberg needs to get less ice time. I know we all want to see the young guy come in and play well but Anisimov is the better center, as is Letestu. Wennberg either needs to stay in the AHL until he develops and looks better than Arty, or he needs to stay out on the wing for now. You can't just give him good NHL ice time and hope it helps him develop. He needs to develop first and then get that ice time.

 

[Zarathustra]

Well this is good.

 

[DJA]

this just keeps getting better

 

[Jackets Fan]

And another penalty. woohoo...

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Can we take JJ off the powerplay until he wakes up?

Yep. I agree

 

[Dednimnepo]

losing on the boards....

 

[CBJWerenski8]

This is going to be another ass kicking if they even sniff the way they're playing right now in the next period

 

[MFRONE]

What a dive. Where is the call on SJ

 

[Jackets Fan]

13-4 are the shots in favor of SJ. That's just pathetic.

 

[DJA]

domination

 

[DJA]

so this is our offense now? struggling to even get it into the zone, then a blast, totally unscreened, from the blue line?

 

[NotWendell]

First period recap...

 

[Jackets Fan]

would have been great if letestu could have at least hit the net there.
He's almost as bad as Johnson.

 

[DJA]

we are in dire need of a skill infusion

 

[CBJorBust]

First period recap...

LOL! Needed a good laugh after that performance. Going to bed, hopefully I'm surprised in the morning.... I doubt it tho

 

[MFRONE]

Pathetic. The early trip to SJ looks even more foolish with this effort in the 1st

 

[Dednimnepo]

So we have lulled them into them into playing overly confident with skill and stuff. It's time to throw our individual efforts at them.


We have been outplayed on every line. I don't think we are playing as well as we are able -- I hope.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

One team had almost an entire weeks rest, the other went on a road trip across the country.....

 

[CBJx614]

Well when you're missing 3/5 best players you should kind of expect it. Definitely missing Jenner and Dubi on the forcheck.

Cannot agree more. Joey, Cam and Foligno had amazing chemistry. I wish Todd Richards would stop screwing with the lines every two seconds.
And yeah, I don't see why Wennberg gets as many opportunities as he has. He's not winning faceoffs, and he's not generating offense. Dano should take his spot. He's been way more impressive, and he's been harder to knock off the puck than Wennberg has.

Yeah...for a team that plays a forechecking game...we had none that period. Only 7 hits credited to CBJ.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Dubinsky, where are you? Dubinsky! You're our only hope!

 

[NotWendell]

Yeah...for a team that plays a forechecking game...we had none that period. Only 7 hits credited to CBJ.

We haven't forechecked since the NY Rangers game.

 

[CBJx614]

Yeah...for a team that plays a forechecking game...we had none that period. Only 7 hits credited to CBJ.

Exactly, hitting is absolutely critical to our style of play, if we're not banging bodies we look lost.

Definitely going to be expecting Dano to be in the lineup next game.
