Series Thread: First Round - Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Columbus Blue Jackets

What a miracle recovery by Killorn as he's out for the Tampa PP.

What the hell?!? Why was play stopped there just now? McDonaugh looked a little groggy, but that's a huge break for Tampa.

edit: Are they still using the quiet room? I mean, if McDonaugh doesn't miss a shift, I'd be pretty upset if I'm Torts.

Woulda been nice to get such quick whistles for injuries when Gavrikov's arm fell off in OT.

I just saw McDonaugh out there, so he might have missed a turn (maybe two) on defense, but there's no way the concussion spotter signaled a visit to the quiet room.

Sigh. Too much man for Columbus with the goalie pulled.

Say goodnight, Gracie

Odd to see all three stars going to the same team in a 2-1 game. The love affair with the dildos continues.

One less kicked puck from Korpisalo and the series is tied.

Then if Bemstrom doesn't miss an open net and Jackets are up 3-1

Been a very tight series.

Tampa has been very opportunistic which is also a sign of a good team. Obviously, Columbus faces an uphill battle, but they have been a resilient team.

Considering how we beat an offensively loaded team and are that close to another shows that the Jarmo plan is working.

We get a legit 2C and a sniper and we're gonna be alright.

Happy elimination day, everyone!

I wouldn't doubt Columbus winning tonight and next game ..this team is very resilient

But we're a quarter of an inch behind Tampa. I just don't feel like we have enough to get over the hump.

How bout we swap cheering teams tonight . It could be way less stressful

Hey, who knows. Maybe Jake Allen gets injured and the Hockey Men can go back to preaching about how the Canucks rebuild was the best blueprint to follow.

 

[gob]

Yaaaay

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Not a good start.

 

[gob]

Yay

A lot of the talk locally is about how Foligno is washed up and we need to trade him for a fifth round pick.

Yeah.

Figures, Jackets finally start getting shots on goal and Mecha-Godzilla version of Vasy shows up.
