Refs took two away tonight. Methot put one in from the blue line early in the game, but the officials said they blew the whistle before it went in. Boll was fighting. I didn't hear a whistle that fast. It was iffy. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

The second time was pure bullshit.

Nash threw some hits tonight. :banger:

They looked kind of lost when they were breaking into the Flames' zone most of the time..

A win is a win, especially when they didn't play their best. Looked sloppy at both ends. The Vermette/Voracek/Umberger line they skated out there tonight was awesome.

Sick pass by Nash to set up the second goal.

This team is playing with confidence. Thanks for the link to the telecast. Bull[censored] that it wasn't on Fox Sports Ohio.

the sick pass (the between the legs one) was set up by the old cardinal sin. when you come out of the box you have the point man. period, end of discussion. that being said he went down low, chased the puck, which set off a scramble, nash got control of the puck, the defense shifted his way, then you see him drawing a second defender, nash being nash backhander with the ol leg lift between the legs, juice has time to settle and pick on kipper.

also smart move by kipper on the crease ice near the end of regulation, built in timeout essentially. trademark of a veteran goaltender. that being said i couldnt actually see how bad the ice was or whether it was bad at all.

on the goals, see me above.

nash, youre best players have to be your best players. nash was that tonight. not a doubt in my mind. that is how a captain and your best player should play.

flames play a nice system, and physical and have top flight talent. their a hard team to get it in against, much like the blue jackets. when both teams play within their systems it looks ugly to some, beautiful to me... nothing like some good ol western canadian hockey. bodies banging, battles along the boards, going to the net, playing the simple game, forechecking, backchecking, getting pucks in deep, the battles, etc...


i think it maybe hard to break um the "umvee" line if they continue to play like that... i also seemed to think dorsett has looked good in a shutdown 3rd liner role. its not an easy one to play, certainly not for a second year player.

Tough break on the first disallowed, but I think they got that one right. The 2nd one was brutal, but at least the ref had the decency to admit he blew and apologize to Vermette and the bench. The win takes the sting off a bit, too.

I've already seen more victories in the new jersey than I did in my old one.

Son of a bitch!

He's only leading the league in +/- at +8. Damn....

The Jackets have only scored 11 ES or SH goals this year. If I'm logicking this correctly, he's been on the ice for at least 8 of those 11. That hurts....

yeah i really have no idea on the timing of the first one. the second one, well, it happens. the good/interesting thing is the team didnt cave, they didnt die on the vine, so to say. rather they dug in. has to make you smile when you see that.

appears methot will slide into a shutdown role. with what is presumably your first pairing on the shelf, methot will challenged to be better, last year methot found a foundation, time to build on that foundation, play against first lines can be a man's game and methot must become territorial.





and for the record, the blue jackets are above the bar.
