GDT: Game 71: Columbus at New York Islanders | 3/23 1PM EDT

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I also don't think it's all fatigue. I think they're afraid to lose so they're all playing very carefully. It's having the effect of being very predictable.

I think there's a lot to this. Or trying too hard. But yes, this kind of thing.

 

[aRussian]

The bench was standing stock still and just in a stupor. Wow. Sapped and listless

 

[DJA]

lmfaoooooo at Nikitin

Lmfao

 

[JacketFanInFL]

No more power plays!!

 

[jackets4life]

A spark for a dead team and a power play?

Good strategy for the Islanders imo.

 

[silver89]

Not that it'll matter but what a dumb move by the Islander to get 2 minutes and a fight there. A spark for a dead team and a power play?

Trying to be funny?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Think we can all go about our days now

Nope

A few observations:

I'm sick of seeing defensemen on the power play, particularly Savard, have to settle a puck instead of one-timing it, then failing to get any shot off.

Strangely, Umberger's time out of the lineup did not result in any significant improvement in his ability to handle the puck cleanly. Imagine!

The power play, in general, is ridiculously bad.

The second goal was a result of one of the most egregiously pathetic defensive effort I've ever seen.

Bob should be chopping his teammates like he did Nash, they're a bigger threat than he was.

[Mandar]

Nope

I thought "game in hand" was the mantra from you.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Ryan Stram, eh?

 

[aRussian]

Atkinson with the hardest slapper from the point from us this game...

 

[punk_o_holic]

I wonder if they get shutout or they score a meaningless goal late in the game and celebrate like it meant something?

I'd actually be even more pissed at that.

 

[ScreamingWild]

I don't endorse violence against anyone but sometimes I imagine Davidge walking his throat into someone's fist. There is nothing to cheer about in this game. There is nothing good to take away from the play of the day.

 

[Halfboard]

Oh boy, next up; the Jackets crap their pants on national tv Tuesday..........

A game in hand is worth two beatings in the bush.

Or something like that.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

was that an offensive chance?

 

[JacketFanInFL]

There is absolutely zero chemistry out there. It's like they haven't played together at all this season.

I'm glad we have that 2nd/borderline 3rd rounder for Gaborik. No way we need him at all right now.

 

[pete goegan]

Damn, I really thought that went in!

 

[nhldiedinthe90s*]

Whatever.

Visca el Barça i Visca Catalunya

LET HIM APoLOGIZE AND DECLINE IT
