GDT: Game 79: Columbus vs. Phoenix | 4/8 7PM EDT

[Bobcat110]

Good game tonight guys, just popping in to say good luck on getting into and doing well in the playoffs. I've always had a soft spot for you guys, and given how the Flames have been the last few years, it really makes me feel good to see an underdog and a team who was bottom feeding for a long time do well. I hope I get to see your franchises first playoff win.

ultimately I want Iginla to get his cup, but besides that, going to jump on your bandwagon a little haha

Thanks! And thanks for the win over NJ last night

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Was there any update on Horton? Is he out for a couple of games again or is he ready to go tomorrow?

Even if he says he's good to go I'd sit him until the playoffs or the game vs Florida.

Am I the only one that thinks Bob McElligott is brutal or no?

We need a new radio guy.

I like him tbh.

I've never had a soft spot for the Flames, ever.... well, perhaps when in Atlanta... lol

But thanks for stopping by... Oh, I've been to Alberta, awesome place.. seriously.

 

[NotWendell]

Now THAT is the way hockey in Columbus SHOULD be! If this franchise ever makes a deep run for the Cup, this town is gonna asplode!

 

[blahblah]

A few things.

I laughed so hard at the reaction of their goaltender after the Comeau goal. Bravo to the fans; especially in the 3rd. Bravo to the lower bowl sections that were on their feet for half the third and into OT.

Jenner is just a beast. Nice to see Letestu chipping in. We'll need some of these role players to chip in.

I wasn't nervous at all going in OT. Just felt we were going to win. Nice recovery from the team after a shaky first.

Let's get the two points tomorrow and end the drama. If we do our part tomorrow we make Thursday meaningless for everyone below us.

 

[NotWendell]

I like the "C-B-J" chant as well.

But it should only be for important/big games(like tonight) and/or playoffs.

We'll do it whenever we damn well fell like it.

 

[Cash for Nash]

He has to be done for next 3 games. I think it'll be big surprise if he's back for playoffs.





Yeah. That scenario. Or also, Caps can still get to 91 points with 3 more victories, but we'd win tie-breaker.

I wonder what the heck is wrong with him. Groin or abdominal issue maybe?

 

[db2011]

Beside myself at the moment. haven't read but the first 6 pages or so. What a shame to give up the tying goal like that in the 3rd, but Comeau's go-ahead and then Joey's snapshot were outta nowhere and awesome.

carry on

 

[blahblah]

I agree. I like the C-B-J a lot more. It's sharper and more aggressive. "Let's go Jack-ets" always sounded kinda weak to me.

Glad to see the CBJ chant getting some love over the let's go jackets. It caught me by surprise; didn't think I was going to like it. However it seems to resonate more with the fans.

They were still chanting that on the way to the car and loudly.

Oh and props to 90% of the area that stayed to the Johansen interview after the 3 stars. I had a hard time hearing some of Johansen's answers.

 

[NotWendell]

Johan is clutch...

... and clutch is EVERYTHING in life!

 

[jackets4life]

That was so much fun! Stood for the majority of 3rd period! Secret to beating Greiss...high glove. high glove. Made it look easy.

Told the great STH's next to me on the way out that we would see them next week! Feels great to need just 2 more points. March on!

 

[Heinze 57]

all's well that ends well.

That Johansen goal might be in my top two of all-time favorite Blue Jackets goals.

C-B-J is very similar to U-S-A if one thinks about it... but more local...

 

[dnmccoy]

Just got back from the game and HOLY **** the crowd was on fire tonight!!! Richards gave the crowd a shout out after the game

 

[Socks]

It's obvious why Joey is awesome. It's his number. I mean think of all the great 19s: Stevie Y, Sakic, Thornton, Toews, Larry Robinson, etc. He's just following a pattern.

 

[bizzz*]

After the assist on game winner Wiz is only one point away from 50 and he missed 7 games. I think this season he's earned every penny of his hefty contract.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I want to win in Dallas so we can give Bob a rest in Florida/Tampa.

Wasn't quite up to the last game last season; but the fans stepped it up in the 3rd. The 5th line signs are amusing me. How long have people been running with that?

No doubt about it. I love having Wis on the team. He has his moments, but there's very few other right handed PMD's I'd have on my powerplay.

Agree... he's pissed me off at times since October but he's worth keeping for the points alone... a good guy too.

 

[Kev22]

Players are raving about the crowd.

I'm sure it was good, but they haven't heard anything yet. My ears are still ringing from the playoff year. Hopefully this group will appreciate it more than the previous playoff team and build off it.

Kamel mentioned it in the post-game, first time I've heard of it.. It's a nice variation of 7th man in hockey or 12th man in football.. novel idea.

Tonight's game could be a history maker, "5th line", "C-B-J"..... a signal victory...

 

[Fro]

almost wheels up for Florida time! still holding out hope for a Flyers stumble...

crowd was crazy tonight...need more of that...
