GDT: Game 60: Columbus vs. Florida | 3/1 2PM EST

[Jackets16]

New management, new players, same story. Too good to get a good draft pick, too bad to make the playoffs. A bit premature I know but we've all heard this song before...

I'm sorry, but this is one of the worst posts ever on this board.

Yes, I agree, it is premature.

Special teams buried the Jackets in NJ.
Special teams are saving them today.

couldnt be more true

 

[alphafox]

Ok, sorry I couldn't resist the troll post.

 

[squarelaces]

Nope

I think that means you disagree. Do disagree with my assertion that he's slow, weak and has bad vision? Or are you saying his body of work here has been good? Well let's review:

2011-2012 BLUE JACKETS 48 6 21 27 -13 37 2 0 2 99
His first season he was suspended, hurt and -13
2012-2013 BLUE JACKETS 30 5 9 14 -1 15 4 0 0 62
Last season he was hurt and unproductive

The skill in that goal was real high, but the effort was impressive as well. Especially coming at the end of a period when many players kinda coast the final few seconds.

Yes, I disagree with all of it. He's not slow, certainly not weak. Bad vision is the closest thing we agree on.

You are putting the suspension on him? And injuries? He can't help either of them, especially the suspension where Shannaban was sending a message. He got drove head first into the boards last year, he's blocked shots and broke bones. If he's getting injured, I'd rather it be doing something like this, something productive for the team.

His first year was a rollar coaster here, I will agree. But last year and this year he has been a mainstay on our PP and has been nothing but solid offensively. He's shown flashes of being good defensively, but we all know of his shortcomings there. You love, hate Wiz sometimes, but there isn't any debating that he needs to be on the team.

Quick question. Why is your mascot a bee and why was the SWAT team following it around?

 

[squarelaces]

He's not slow???

Yeah the lack of effort by us was pretty impressive. Impressive in the regard that we can be that bad. Hubs is just a disaster right now in his sophomore slump.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

We are so much better than the Panthers. Please don't blow this game

 

[NotWendell]

It's a homage to the last big league pro hockey team to play in Ohio - the Cincinnati Stingers of the old WHA.


P.S. YES, I totally just made that up!

Nobody knows.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

This has been an awful period. Offsides and icings galore.

My contributions are so immense that the mascot actually is a tribute to me.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

That was almost so unlucky

As good an answer as any.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Cam just about had that one on the alley oop from Dubi.

 

[wrcstyl]

Does Umberger look where hes passing? so many blind passes that become turnovers.

I don't think Stinger is a bee. Yellow jackets are part of wasp family, so I assume blue jackets are, too.

 

[NotWendell]

Go for the dagger right here!

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Why do they show the play of the game with 10 minutes left?

 

[pete goegan]

Several good shots passed up in order to set up another point shot.

Trying to show Wiz is bad with stats is a fools errand. You're talking about the guy who leads the team in assists.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Stupid penalty Foligno. Stupid
