I'd like to add "2-0-1 against the Pens" to the list of things I didn't think I would say in the 2016-2017 NHL season if I may.

Also, what the cost the Jackets the go-ahead goal during regulation? Did I hear right there was a penalty coming and a Pen touched it which stopped play and washed out the goal?

No matter how good they are, the CBJ still have trouble with the Preds.

Remember when Jonathan Drouin was a pariah, in the AHL, and thought to be on the trade block? Then Stamkos got hurt or whatever and he rose from the ashes?

It's like the plot of a corny '80s movie wherein Drouin is the plucky underdog. Like Iron Eagle or something. But good for he and the Bolts because they're a fun second favorite team.

what does this bizarre abstract art say about your hockey team?

The CBJ are some sort of abstract clown drawn without eyes as some sort of motif with a message.

The Flyers are an abstract depiction of a the Star Wars sequence between the Star Destroyer and the Rebel ship.

Who are the three teams to win coming off the bye and who did they beat? It was mentioned the other night during the Nashville game those teams are 3-10-1 coming off the break so far.

e- I guess it's 3-12-4 and 0-8-3 in February.

so with the news that the Lakers are about to get ruined by Magic Johnson for the indeterminate future, I was thinking about former franchise greats who came back to drive their franchise down down down. the obvious one is Linden in Vancouver, I'd say Neely in Boston is on his way, and that's about it for current ones. who else has done this?

Can Sakic be blamed for the tire fire in Colorado?

Kinda surprising he hasn't had any offers in the NHL, given how many teams are hurting for right-shot D. You'd think he'd be an upgrade for a lot of teams on their bottom pairing. I'm guessing he'd come pretty cheap, too, given his KHL time.

I was on a flight from Columbus to Atlanta with Wiz right around the time he picked up the KHL deal. Didn't get to talk to him in the terminal, but he was recognizable.

If the Jackets had picked him up on a league-minimum deal, I'd have been OK with it. He wouldn't have been any worse than Dalton Prout.

T-Bone posted:

Ron Hainsey is a puck mover though, an old slow puck mover, but a puck mover nevertheless.

I keep forgetting he's still in the league. I'll watch CBJ/Canes games and go "poo poo, how has he lasted this long?". If Jarmo wanted to pick him up for depth, he couldn't be any worse than Dalton Prout (getting to be a theme here). e- Didn't read the trade thread.

He last played for the CBJ back in the dark ages in 2008. He took a big ticket deal to go to Atlanta.

The Islanders are currently in a playoff position.

Imagine what a whole season without Capuano could have done for the Metro standings.

A pretty drat good team would be essentially the 8 seed, and the "7 seed" could theoretically have more points than the Atlantic winner. Insane.

e- Hell, the 7 seed has more points than the 2 now.

There is no reason to pay attention to fox sports here in Chicago because all the games are on NBC or Comcast affiliated channels.

Jay and Dan don't even seem to get the youtube clips linked in the thread like they did when they were in Canada.

Did fox just do a lovely job marketing them?

A lot of it to me felt like "Let's take these two hugely popular Canadian guys nobody outside of hockey fans in the US knows about and hope they become popular in the US!".

FS1 should probably still be Speed, to be honest. Does anyone watch "The One" unless you're specifically looking for a sporting even shown there?

Given their recent play, I wasn't expecting the Jackets to buck the "first game after the bye" trend.

Instead, they hang a touchdown on the Isles, getting Korpisalo his first career shutout. The only bad thing was Torts putting out neither Foligno nor Anderson for a chance at a hat trick at the end.

That was a fun game to randomly decide to go to with a red-headed, potential new lady friend. Today was a good day.

jackets signed one marc-andre bergeron for some reason

Basic guess: depth. 9pts in 13gp in Cleveland, "Can't be worse than Prout".

Perhaps more far-fetched guess: depth because somebody is getting moved on the blue line and he's filler.

I love that, having watched a lifetime of NASCAR, I am not at all surprised nor phased, and slightly entertained, by someone walking toward someone they want to kill after an event finishes. I said "Yeah, get 'em Torts" out loud.

I'm only gonna be pissed about maybe not getting that point if it messes with the seeding after 82.

Torts took the high road in his post-game interview when asked about the penalty. "It was a hard-fought point." and "Don't try to work me into what went on. We played a hard-fought game and...don't try to bait me into anything else."

At the very least, I'm glad to be 2-0-1 coming out of the bye with Minnesota to come.

Former Blues/Current CBJ Assistant Coach Brad Shaw's wife isn't, though:

I am. But he can't be an occasional cheap shot artist who fancies passing the puck to the other colored jersey on the ice.
