I'd rather lose cuz unlike the wings even though we are getting older out scouts have been basically the worst in the NHL. Seriously Baerstchi and Brodie have been our only home grown talent that's NHL. Aside from Erixon the only young guys we've drafted to make the NHL in ages.

Here's our drafted guys since 2003 that have played and had more than 40+ GP

Dion Phanuef 2003 1st round 9th overall
Brandon Prust 2004 3rd round 70th
Dustin Boyd 2004 3rd round 98th
Adam Pardy 2004 6th rounder 173
Mikhael Backlund 2006 1st round 24
Keith Aulie 2006 3rd round 70th
TJ Brodie 2008 4th rounder 114
Lance Bouma 2008 3rd 78th
Tim Erixon 2009 1st 23rd

Most of those guys listed are depth player outside of a handful and jury is still out 2010+

Doesn't matter who you draft or who is on your team...if you're winning, you're winning. You could have a top line of Prust, Tootoo, and Orr but who cares if you're winning?

15/15 wins and 1/10 losses streak is going to be over tonight I believe but honestly who knows seen crazier

But we're not we finish 9th every year and just get older lol if we were a playoff team sure less of a big deal but were not we lose more than we win can score or keep the puck out of our net 2nd highest GAA in the NHL

Honestly the refs have been brutal tonight just watching they've made a few bad calls

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

And seriously guys not every single one of your defensemen is going to play GREAT every night. One night your scapegoating Kostka, now it's Holzer, next it's Dion.

You are missing, the very obvious, point that I can't put any simpler. :lol:

If you win, what is the problem? NAME ME ONE PROBLEM!
You make playoffs when you win, players dont matter cause you win, draft dont matter cause you win.

So what your saying is there's nothing wrong with the CBJ cuz they are winning games your logic is flawed but its expected when you have a dynasty used to winning that u cheer for you just get used to it eh lol.

Well personally I'd rather finish 15th than 8th and play 4 extra games before getting swept. Some teams it's not as black and white (IE: The Kings last season) but in some teams case, Columbus, Calgary, Edmonton. I'd MUCH rather, sacrifice a season and be continually good by getting a franchise player and build within than have one storybook run.

It never stopped bring Kostka. It's always been Holzer and Kostka. They are plugs.

And if there was ever a night I was going to turn on Dion it would be knight because he's been bad. Stop pretending to know what you're talking about. You're just plain wrong. Kostka and Holzer besides having a few decent games have been horrible.

Big picture. Not just individual games. Columbus is a losing team. Why as a Columbus fan would you want to lose not just one game, but game after game after game? You play to win, no? So why cheer for a longer wait for winning? I wanna fucking win now.

Wow, Holzer isn't playing like a stud on the 1st pairing? Gtf to the minors, AHL scrub.

/false dichotomy.

Once again, if hes used properly (like Fraser), he'll be a tank out there.

We can afford this loss anyways.

I don't even get why Liles isn't playing either. Or even Komisarek. Randy is one stubborn fuck

Lol your only reason for calling them out is because your lord and savior Jake Gardiner is in the minors. Otherwise you wouldn't have any reason to call them out. Of course you still would using some other ridiculous statement "Put Komisarek in at least he can blah blah" yet you negate to recognize the good that these players can do. I've seen Holzer put up a couple big hits and some solid D Play (Including one 15 seconds ago) but instead of focusing on the good things they do, you scapegoat them as the resoning behind your team playing like ass. Instead of putting blame on Phaneuf who's been pretty much a plug most of this season, he's looked slow and flat footed, or Grabovski who's been utterly useless most nights, or Kessel who continues to be underwhelming (Aside from the last couple games. Last game was his best game of the season by far) You've let in THREE Goals against a consensus top team in the league and easily the most skilled team in the division, who you've had trouble against since fucking forever, and at least one of those goals has been a PP goal. But lets blame two defensemen for the bad play great thinking.

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!
