GDT: Game 70: Columbus vs. Detroit | 3/17 7PM EDT

[We Want Ten]

Wennberg! Nice.

 

[EspenK]

Tanks for the memories.

 

[KJ Dangler]

No. Only when Korpi is playing.

It was honestly a joke , but team played free when Korpi was in net . Hard to win when we're scoring couple a game , but Korpi was 13-3-3 in last 19 games , bob is now 0-3.

Heck even harder when we are scoring 0.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

We did it

Never can be sure with you guys sometimes...


The CBJ have scored a whopping 1.0 GPG in the last 3 starts, Their problem is at the other end of the ice. Tonight's roster looked like the LEM all stars to top it off. They look like they are in full development mode right now.

Should have started 10-15 games ago.

Should have started 10-15 games years ago.

I fixed it for ya.

Was thinking the same thing. The kid played ... they won. Maybe the played better in front of him since he's young inexperienced were as with Bob being back. They think he can save the world if they mess up.

Haven't won since Bob came back. Korpi was a little sharper when there were breakdowns. Bob lets in too many weak ones e.g. the 3rd goal.

Personally I'm glad to see bjorkstrand get his shot to show torts what he can do , torts needs to figure who's going to be on this team next year , and who he encourages jarmo to send packing . I imagine we will see some changes this summer . I don't understand the negativity on torts though , dude is worlds better than Richards was . Love the way he is challenging the young players to step up . Wennberg has all the tools , but he needs to fire the puck more , and torts isn't afraid to call him out in media . And I have to say that wennberg is showing offensive skills that I didn't know he had . Atkinson has flourished under torts .

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Well, Bjorkstrand looked good in the first period. Had a nice shot on goal and forechecked well. Then the 2nd period came and the line juggling came and he didn't look as comfortable. 3rd period he was ok and drew a penalty that led to the only goal.

He didn't look overwhelmed....but he is quite small. He was strong on the boards and forecheck, so he's not shy....but he is small.

I agree and hope you are right about there being some changes. Other than juggling the lines a bunch, I don't see how anyone could complain.

Honestly he didn't strike me as being that small though. I think concerns about his size are a little overblown.

How about Jarmo?!?

 

[NotWendell]

Agreed. And as far as his impact on this game, it can be summed up during this moment during the second period behind the CBJ bench:

Fan (not me): "Put Bjorkstrand in! Hey coach, let's Bjorkstrand play!!!"
(Bjorkstrand skates off the ice)

 

[Mayor Bee]

How about Jarmo?!?

And replace him with who? Me?

....

 

[DarkandStormy]

Tanky.

 

[NotWendell]

Tanky.

You can't spell Stank without tank.

 

[major major]

Can't complain about losing after what Torts did to the lineup, it's clearly not the goal of the evening. Bjorkstrand looked fine out there.

You could tell the Wings wanted it. And other than Foligno I didn't get that impression from the Jackets.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Yikes. This team is bad

 

[blahblah]

Look at Jenner, winning faceoffs - as did Chaput.

Foligno and Cam*...

Great correlation with the result.

Korpisalo is the leader of this team.

 

[Dr. Fire]

This pretty much sums it up.

“Listen, I know we’re not going to make the playoffs,†Dubinsky said. “But we have a lot of pride in here. I have a lot of pride myself. We just have to play harder. We didn’t play hard enough.
“It shouldn’t be hard. We make millions of dollars to play hockey. It’s an amazing job, an amazing life, an amazing blessing. It’s your job. I don’t care where you are (in the standings) or what time of year it is, your job is to play your role the best you can and nothing else.â€

-- It was not an attractive game. The Red Wings will take the two points and leave quickly, as they should. But no new hockey fans were generated tonight in Nationwide, that's for sure. "Quite honestly the game stunk," Tortorella said. "By both teams, as far as I was concerned. I thought it was a lousy game."
