GDT: Game 80: Columbus at Toronto | 4/6 7PM EST

[MoeBartoli]

I don't know if Toronto is simply that bad....but their goalie is certainly that bad. But good for our guys!

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Proposed: be able to stockpile goals for next season after being eliminated from playoff contention in current season

Proposed: send goals to Philadelphia to eliminate Detroit

 

[Mayor Bee]

We'll send you guys a gift basket after this.

Keep the basket, just take Clarkson back.

Am I the only one who can't stand Bob McElligott's horrible forced puns after every play?

 

[WannabeFinn]

Calvert-Dubi-Atkinson line still got it lol

 

[GoJackets1]

Dont look now but Kukan is +4 again.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Dont look now but Kukan is +4 again.

holy **** he is!! that's amazing

 

[EspenK]

Tonight's game is very important. A lopsided win over one of two worst teams in the league who are playing without several of their top players. Just goes to show the importance of never giving up and how to build momentum for next season.

Sheesh.

 

[The Jones Zone]

Dont look now but Kukan is +4 again.

I have to think Jarmo is puking when he thinks about the Prout deal

Kukan just doesn't make mistakes

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Who can we take with the 8th pick?

 

[We Want Ten]

Dont look now but Kukan is +4 again.

We should get him one more so he knocks Prout out of the record books. Dude is a machine.

 

[pete goegan]

If we are gonna win, we might as well bury them. Good for Bjork.

Just thinking that!

 

[WannabeFinn]

Calvert-Dubi-Atkinson with 13 combined shots atm

 

[We Want Ten]

I saw the CBJ give up 4 3rd period goals to SJS earlier this year, so there is still hope.

 

[Cowumbus]

I like Kukan because I don't notice him

 

[We Want Ten]

I like Kukan because I don't notice him

That's been his MO.
He better get a serious look to start the year next year, he has been great.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Kukan played by far the fewest minutes of the blueliners and comes away with the best stat line of them all lol

 

[Cowumbus]

Kukan was once paired with Roman Josi at WJC I believe

[Hello Johnny]

Was very impressed with Kukan while I was in attendance on Monday. He plays a very simple game, which is refreshing.

 

[We Want Ten]

Oil beat Vancouver 6-2

I was thinking we should hang on to Tyutin because he'll be too expensive to replace in FA, and the kids aren't ready. Well Kukan might just be ready. He's better now and he'll probably still be better next year. Would save us millions on Tyuts if we can move Tyuts out with some retained salary.

As far as "not noticing him", you folks must not have been defensemen. Whoever said "You know a good defenseman when you don't notice him" was not a defenseman. Kukan makes a lot of good plays on the breakout. Just turning into little gaps where he can start the breakout.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Oil beat Vancouver 6-2

that's bad for us now, because we won't finish lower than Edmonton or Toronto no matter what happens

we need everyone above us to get as many points as possible

 

[Cowumbus]

good thing Vancouver plays Calgary and Edmonton in their final 2 games lol

We don't need Calgary to lose though. We need the Nucks to beat the oil but lose to the flames. And then cbj lose just one game.

I made that post under the assumption we would lose to Toronto tonight

obviously things have changed

Yes I was not a Dman. Lol. Pure goal scoring winger with no two way game. Deadly wrist shot though.
