Bobcat’s Post Game Notes, Game 36
Jackets lose, 4-0 to the Ottawa Senators.
-The games with Ottawa last year were rather boring goalie battles. Let’s see if it’s any different tonight…
-Two former Cleveland Monsters (and teammates on the Monsters) in goal tonight: Korpi for us, and Anton Forsberg for the Sens.
-Boqvist nails a long stretch pass to Eric Robinson, but Anton Forsberg shuts him down hard. Hello, police? I would like to report a robbery.
-Parker Kelly just tattooed Marcus Bjork. Welcome to the big-leagues, kid? Can we still say that?
-Erik Gudbranson cross-checks Brady Tkachuk, so we’re off to the penalty kill. Only took them ten minutes to do something interesting…
-We kill the penalty off. If we don’t end this season with a top 12 PK, I will be surprised.
-Patrik Laine had a good chance, going between his legs, but Forsberg shuts him down too. Anton Forsberg for Vezina.
-Looks to be more of the same between these two teams as the first period fades to black. Which goalie will break first?
-Marcus Bjork hooks Claude Giroux to start the second. Let’s keep this good stretch of PKing going.
-In a battle of “which goalie breaks first,” Korpi was the one to break first. With 10 seconds left in the PK, Jake Sanderson takes a shot that Korpi sees nothing of. 1-0 Sens. God dammit.
-Claude Giroux gets sent off for tripping. Let’s do something with this!
-…All I really saw from that power play is that we need a new power play coordinator. Pascal Vincent has been running this power play like a f*cking circus. What on Jody Shelley’s green Earth was that?
-Give up a goal, look like amateurs on the power play, and then give up another goal. Sens win the draw, and Tim Stutzle blows a snapper by Korpi. The quicksand has definitely set in now…
-Marcus Bjork gets flattened AGAIN (this time getting cross-checked on the process), but it doesn’t get called. As retaliation, Kent Johnson crosses Erik Brannstrom, but that gets called. I don’t respect the f*ckin’ referees.
-Drake Batherson scores off the crossbar on the PP. I would shut the game off here, but I feel like I’ve done that too much as of late. I’m sticking through this whole game, even if it kills me.
-Can we please stay out of the penalty box, for the love of god? Marcus Bjork gets bopped with his second penalty of the night (hooking Drake Batherson). I hate this team.
-That gets killed off, and miraculously we go the rest of the period without letting another goal in. I hate this team marginally less.
-I've noticed a trend: Third periods with this team are agonizingly boring. Two penalties and and empty net goal later, and this game is over.
