GDT: Game 78: Columbus vs. New York Islanders | 4/6 6PM EDT

TV guys talking about Dallas game on Weds. Horton will get credit for first goal and may not even play. Interesting.

Precedent.... in 2005 Jiří Fischer had a heart attack on the bench, the game was cancelled with the Predators up 1-0... the makeup game started with the Preds up 1-0...

The goal goes to the guy who scored it even if he doesn't play...

Good kill. Kept them from getting a lot on net

I still don't get that. It is either 1-0 and starting with where we left off or 0-0 and playing a full game. How can you play a full game and give us the goal?

 

[Robert]

Great game and another shutout for Bob..... 5 now...

It was a must win....

 

[aRussian]

Good shutout!
Need to surge these last few games. 3rd in metro or bust! I want to avoid Boston

The 2005 makeup game started with 60 minutes... just precedent I guess..

 

[FANonymous]

Exactly what we needed. Nice to see Bob with the shutout. Now let's go Buffalo!

Bobrovskyyyyyyyy !! (from Foligno)

Don't count on it but I'm switching.... The Sabres have zero scoring abilty, they traded away everyone save the bat boy....

 

[GoJackets1]

Wait why were they standing out at center ice like it's the finale..?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

2 more wins baby. If we win 3 we're in, but 2 is likely in too.

 

[blahblah]

87 Points.

Some of us still believe in miracles.

Fan appreciation game. They're giving the jerseys off their backs today instead of the PHX game because they have to get on a plane quickly to get to Dallas.

Its fan appreciation night isn't it?

Saluting the fans….

I did, it looked like Calvert was pretty much asking for it.

I think in the replay I saw, the ref's arm was up before the scrap even started, which suggests Carkner was getting called for something before the fight.

Great win, the kind of win we needed in a game like this, when a playoff contender should have outplayed the Isles.

Good luck guys the rest of the way, really like the makeup of your team.

Calvert is crazy btw, in a good way. His cajones must scrape the floor.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Good game guys. Needed that against an outmanned Isles team. Need Buffalo to win now. Robert...get that Buffalo mojo going!!

They usually don't do that until the last home game. But thanks for the clarification guys.

 

[Doug19]

87 points when we should have 88 or 89, still bitter from Friday...decent win though.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

87% now

Ton of heart, every shift, every game..... a real gamer. Reminds me of Matthew Barnaby but smaller and more skilled, Calvert simply pisses people off in a good way...

 

[Robert]

Some teams in the NHL that win at home go to center ice and raise their sticks to the fans every time they win at home.... tonight in Columbus it was fan appreciation night..
