I don't understand Feaster's obsession with re-signing ex-Islanders who really don't contribute much on the ice at all.

I know your opinion on cervenka at centre, but I just don't see it right now. He is still clearly out of his element and his gas tank is probably only ever half full at any given shift. Long layoff.

Those two need a defensive conscience and iginla ain't it.

Also, I don't think he plays the puck possession game the same way at all and would probably look really out of place.

At this point in time Jackman is contributing absolutely nothing to the team. I don't see why we just don't replace one plugger with an older way better plugger, sure Jackman is bigger than Tom but he does nothing at all. You could send me out there and I'd contribute more than he does, atleast I know how to shoot and skate.

Gio was the bigger issue on that first goal, backed right in then let Calvert shoot it through the screen of his legs.

It wasn't a great goal but I would say it was soft either. More a goal that Irving could have had, and maybe should have had, but wasn't an embarrassing softy.

Lol just saw the highlight for the 2nd goal, people seriously blame Irving for that??

Not much better in skating at this point, but he's more of the pest type that Begin fills compared to the heavyweight the Jackman unfortunately hasn't been so far.


And the Flames with more hits? Somebody must have forgot what a hit looks like.

[Short Shift]

cue the sportsnet hate between periods.

[J epworth]

Jones with the right attitude there, they know that played like ****, need to make sure the momentum they have been gathering the past 5 games isn't for nothing. Flames need to continue to build that mentality of a winning team, and a loss tonight will be very damaging to that mentality.

[direwolf]

Just turned on the game. Why are we losing to the freakin' Blue Jackets?? Is it bad defence? Is Irving looking shakey? What's going on?

[EM11]

What does a colour man on Sportsnet West/Oilers/Winnipeg get paid? What about a TSN reporter?

Maybe a bit out of position but it was still a perfect shot! Top corner.

Any time a goal goes "PING!" Before it enters the net, I give the goalie the benefit of the doubt.

Because Tim Jackman doesn't lose 95% of his fights.

[Frank MetaMusil]

I'd rather have Hagman than Comeau.

[AC]

If we get our passing figured out we'll be fine tonight.

Only 90% of them.

Not sure if that is true, but fights like this make the lost fights more than worth it.

Really poorly played first period. Bad penalties, weak goal, and a serious lack of aggressiveness.

He really does kill any line that he is on.

Stempniak-Backlund-Glencross looked great, they replace Glencross with Comeau and the line looks terrible.

If neither Cammy or Baertschi are close to returning we should call up Horak, Comeau isn't an NHL player anymore except for 4th line duty...and that might be a stretch.

[Saqe]

Pointless to point at Irving after first. Whole team infront of him was clueless yet again.

Flames just playing like they normally do in columbus.
