Green Building Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I found the Canucks to be a pretty good watch of late. The CBJ game is on the same time as the Canada Gold game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Going to be a tough game vs Caps to tie the record. Look forward to watching the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumb Nuck Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I hope they do beat the streak, then we can brag we fired the NHLs best coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I haven't heard anyone discuss it, but does the fact that there aren't ties anymore taint the streak when comparing it to the 92 Penguins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will always be mentioned by someone somewhere. It's a valid argument, but all we have to go on these days are the current NHL rules regarding wins, and they're up to 16. I could counter that argument by saying the Pens played in an era of weak teams and despite wins being issued in every game the current parity of the league makes what Columbus is doing as good as what Pittsburgh did in '92. Do I believe myself though? I'm not so sure. Columbus has played some weak ass teams along the way, but then again so did the Pens. I took a look at the Pens schedule a couple days ago and they beat 6 teams that were 9 games or more over .500 during that stretch. I altered the criteria slightly for Columbus since we're just beyond the half way point in our season (Pittsburgh more or less finished the year with theirs) and they've still beaten 5 teams who were well over 0.500, and the clincher is against another in Washington this evening. That doesn't really answer your question, but I still felt like pointing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Interesting comparing the two teams..Wennberg/Dubi is almost identical with Lemieux/Jags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I went to a Vancouver game in Columbus a couple years ago. Against the glass. 105$. Was interested in going on Saturday so I looked up tickets. 100$ to get in the door 1200$ for my seats last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhdlois Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I say they lose tonight which sends them into a downward spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yup, like i said a couple of days ago this was going to be a very tough game vs the Caps and so far it has been that way. WSH is up 3-0 in the 2nd. WSH is built to win and they would treat this game as a playoff game like the Oilers did. But WSH is in a different stage and will be very difficult to win against. It's a much more experienced team than CBJ and definitely much more than EDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kragar Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 5-0. Grab a fork and check the oven, cuz I think this one is done. Interesting while it lasted, especially for a team that has yet to win a playoff series. Talk about the ugly duckling. Be interesting to see how things go from here on out for them. Maybe getting pasted like this will be easier to shrug off than a hard-fought loss, like how many teams can bounce back after a shellacking in the playoffs.

Coconuts Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 They were due for a stinker and the Caps are a team built to contend. It's been a nice story but it'll be interesting to see where they go from here. But we don't have to hear about the streak for much longer!

That's funny to me because I was just thinking "here they are getting playoff ready". Props to Columbus for a good ride, but now we can sit back and enjoy the climb of our 2nd round pick.

Canuck_Fan_52 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I must say for a team that hasn't had a lot of winning seasons, this 16 game win streak is indeed impressive. Great Run Jackets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
