Lmao

Has anyone watched the Jets regularly this season? Are they legit, like their record suggests?

Connor Hellebuyck and scoring thats really it

They gonna work him to death again poor guy

It would be the most Blues thing ever if they ripped off a nine game winning streak directly after an eight game losing streak. More than halfway there now.

This guys worse than Barrie according to some Oilers fans.
(Definitely not tied for 2nd in scoring)

smh everyone know barrie clear ek65 get real

Bobcat’s Post Game Notes, Game 16

Jackets win, 6-4 over the Montreal Canadiens.

-Instead of starting this post with a look at the lineups, we shall start with a special occasion.

I’ve been praying to the Hockey Gods for a long time for some luck on this front, but to no avail.

So where do you turn when the Hockey Gods fail you…?

(Cut to a dark room, lit by candles, with one candle, unlit, in the middle of room)

HOCKEY DEMONS… THE 5TH LINE SUMMONS THEE!!

I would not talk to you under regular circumstances, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

The hometown boy, JACK ROSLOVIC… he needs a goal. It has been close to a month since he last put the puck behind the goalie, and your counterparts have yet to answer my prayers for this to change.

HERE IS THE OFFER I AM PROPOSING, HOCKEY DEMONS. I cannot sell you my soul, as it is currently in the possession of someone else, but YOU can sell ME, or rather, Jack Roslovic, a GOAL.

In exchange for a Jack Roslovic goal-TWO, IF THE HOCKEY DEMONS FEEL GENEROUS…

…I will not be mad if we lose. I won’t care. As long as Jack gets a goal, I will be happy.

SO I SHALL LIGHT THIS CANDLE PLACED BEFORE ME, SO THAT JACK ROSLOVIC SHALL LIGHT THE LAMP.

(Cut back to regular scene)

Okay, back to business.

-With both Z and Bean out of the lineup, Coach Larsen has left our PP1 quarterbacking job to Marcus Bjork. I’m surprised they didn’t give it to Jake Christiansen, but this might be better.

-Cole Sillinger takes a one-timer off the boards that bounces off of Jordan Harris and into the net.

-I will admit, I haven’t seen very much film of Evgeni Dadonov before this, so this is the first time I’ve noticed his speed. Man is an animal on his skates. Luckily, Jake Christiansen shuts him down along the boards before he can do anything too destructive.

-Liam Foudy comes off the bench and finds himself on a breakaway, but he gets too excited and fans on the puck. Rough luck.

-Another breakaway, this time by Yegor, but Sammy Montembeault makes the stop. You’re no fun.

-Arber Xhekaj gives Liam Foudy a good heave-ho into the Montreal bench. That one looked scary, but thankfully he looks un-injured.

-Gavin Bayreuther gives Gus Nyquist a god-sent tape-to-tape pass to set up a wrister that goes by Montembeault. 2-0 Jackets. Still looking for that Rosie goal, though…

-Boone Jenner gives the boys a third breakaway, and beats Monty, but he rings it off the post. Perhaps we should stop getting breakaways.

-As the first period goes away, I have no complaints. I love this stuff. I just want to see Rosie score. I have that deal with the Demons…

-…It’s official. I hate Evgeni Dadonov now. A blatant cross-check that hurts Andy AGAIN. I sincerely hope he’s okay, but it does give us the first power play of the night. Let’s go, boys.

-…Nothing came of it, although we did get a lot of shots in.

-Jordan Harris (the man who inadvertently scored the first goal of the game for the Jackets) capitalizes on a bad rebound to bury it behind Korpi. Rough.

-Marcus Bjork takes his first penalty in the NHL by holding Kirby Dach. First PK of the night…

-As the first penalty dies, Gus gets sent off for “tripping”. Josh Anderson took a dive. Fitting for a guy that couldn’t stick in Columbus.

-This then devolves into a 4-on-3. Juraj Slafkovsky trips up Andy, and then a few seconds later, Sillinger gets sent off for *almost* hitting Kaiden Guhle in the face. No contact, but Guhle took the full dive anyway. Taking a piece out of the Sidney Crosby Book of Hockey, i see…

-Tie game. Montreal dives their way into a goal from Josh Anderson with 2 seconds left in the period. That’s pure BS.

-MATHIEU OLIVIER! ARBER XHEKAJ! LLLLLLLLLLET’S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!!

-WiFi got the most shots in, but tripped and fell on his own. I’m assuming hockeyfights.com is going to call that one a Xhekaj win, but it’s a draw at best.

-I didn’t think I’d be saying this considering last year’s disaster, but Korpi’s keeping us afloat.

-Someone fell in front of the Blue Jackets bench, and we find ourselves on a 3-on-1. Kenny, to Johnny, to El Capitan, buries it behind Montembeault. 3-2 Jackets.

-Montreal claps right back on a chaotic sequence that ends in Brendan Gallagher catching Korpi overcommitting to the wrong side. Tie game.

-COLUMBUS RESPONDS WITH A BEAUTY OF THEIR OWN. SEAN KURALY, YOU ROCKSTAR.

-We follow that up with a goal directly off the faceoff from… Mathieu Olivier? Not really a goal-scorer, but he made it look easy. 5-3 Jackets.

-Nick Suzuki claps right back to put the Habs back within one again. That was a very hard angle, that’s gonna make every highlight reel this month.

-Sean Kuraly scores on the empty netter. This. Game. Is. OVAH.

-I’m very glad we won, but my prayer to the Hockey Demons goes unanswered. Perhaps I shall ask again another day…

Comments in ACGMs be like:

I love this quote from someone too “What would you rather have, a dollar bill or four quarters? And then watch two fan bases that don't watch nearly enough of the other team spew BS and unearth dumb*ss stats (and adv stats) to defend said BS opinion.” Can sum up a decent amount of debates

Would it be a good idea to fire Lav

I'm not going to pretend to know the situation in WASH, but there is a big ol' chunk of the team missing through injuries.

Today on "C'mon, Dom is thumbing the scale!":

Blues - 16 pts in 16 gp = 17% chance of making the playoffs
Wild - 16 pts in 17 gp = 73% chance of making the playoffs

I mean...

I would be intrigued, but not surprised if even the Jackets have a better (if not equal) chance at the playoffs than the Blues lmao

I'm sorry to report that the Jackets are dead last in his model, with a playoff chance of less than 1%.

We had the same issue last year and we where first in the league.


In November. And I think start of December

I would think that that number would improve going forward with our current form (and improve more once everyone gets healthy) but knowing how much complaining there has been due to inaccuracy, it's probably not going to

I think the division you're in plays a factor in it being so low.

Makes no sense as Heinola ain't a RD. We need a RD who can play top 4. Someone like Demelo or Roy would be nice

two unicorns

how to know the screen resolution of my laptop">

American top line Robertson, Tkachuk and Eichel. To start this year anyway lol

2 beauty assists from Kuzmenko. 2 beauty goals from Pettersson

Does anyone know the record for most Assists to start a season w/o scoring a Goal?

Right now, we have Barzal with 19A; Quinn Hughes w/ 16A; and Morgan Rielly w/ 15A.

Max Comtois has the most Goals w/o an Assist w/ 4G. Although Victor Olofsson has scored 9 times w/ only 1A.

Hughes will probably end up with the most. Barzal is due for a goal. Hughes just doesn't shoot so he never scores

What a bunch of goons

Canucks didn't choke a lead?
