I mean, when the puff carrier’s below the goal line, everyone’s turn puff focus toes are turned and the shooter gets lost in coverage to a quiet area of the ice and makes himself available for the pass. He delivers a one-time and just beats the goender who’s still looking at the puck. The Flint have taken a one- nothing lead here past the midway mark of the opening frame. It hasn’t been easy to get here, has it? We haven’t seen any offense in this game. And they get the first one and they have to find a way to continue where there’s one. Got to try and find two.

They can’t blame the goalie on this one who’s tracking the puck and then all of a sudden it changes direction because it deflects off of a defender in front. Real tough puck luck. [Applause] The Blue Jackets needed that goal to even things up here in the first. Yeah, they certainly did. And I had a coach who once said, you know, it’s about winning the shift now and not worrying about what happened or what was going to happen here, James.

Columbus gains a hold of possession. The Blue Jackets played along the boards. Tries to feed it over to Frost. Referee signals penalty coming up here with a delayed call. Whistle blown, stopping the play. Frost’s been flagged for crosschecking. The cross check is not a hockey play. I mean, it’s a frustration play and you’re going to get the call all day long if you move those hands away from your body and you try and move a player. Get out. Get out. Now the Blue Jackets get their man advantage unit out there for the first time tonight. First power play opportunity of the game. You know, they’ve worked on this in practice. The setup, the look that they want. Let’s see how they move the puck around the perimeter and look to attack. Gets it out of his own end. Pass to Fent Tilly along the half wall with the puck.

What an energizing moment for their team. I mean, you’re out there on the penalty kill just trying to keep the game tied. Then you play aggressively, get that shortanded opportunity and execute. Excellent work by the PK. The Flames are making the most of their opportunities here in this opening frame with the early lead. Yeah, it’s been back and forth play here and they’ve competed.

Well, after you give up a shorty on a power play, the next shift is critically important. Finding a way to get back and dictate pace. coaching staff knows that they need to make Oh, what a save. Oh, that doesn’t swing momentum in your favor. I don’t know what will, James. That’s a last stitch effort to make a play. What a beautiful save. Play continues here, but this crowd still buzzing after what we saw. What a stop that was. Oh, yeah. And they’re saying thank you to the goalender right now, James. They’re still on their feet. They’re electric right now. And really, it’s a nice feeling. Why? Because it doesn’t always go this way. So when you have it, you embrace it. And tries to make a diagonal pass to Hubo. Bats out of midair using great hand eye coordination. Wolves really impressed me tonight, James. Just look at that last sequence and that desperation save. Unbelievable.

Coleman’s taking it from his own end. A spirited battle along the boards for the puck and he coughs it up with the pass. That’s on the stick. Oh my goodness, it’s Tina. What a save. It was all in James and that athleticism in the world to get to that front that was on display. Wow, James, was he ever dialed in in that sequence of saves. I mean, one, two, multiple saves here. His got to help him out. Oh, he kind of thought it, but he keeps it out. [Music] All right, time to get a clean sheet of ice here as period number one comes to an end. As you heard the horn sound, we’ll be back with much, much more as this is going to be a fun one tonight. Everything old is new again. If you wear your vintage jersey to our next game, you’ll receive a coupon for it. [Applause] Opening face off here in this second period is about set to go. The second stanza is underway as the puck is dropped. Let’s go. All right, Cheryl, we’ve seen already one period played in this one. How do you assess this?

Sometimes there’s pressure on players when they get break for the shoot as it goes off the inside there and it stays out.

Unfortunately, it goes the other way. Scores. I got two words for you. New game. Yeah, certainly is, James. And who’s going to come out on top by the beginning of this face off?

Columbus plays along the wing. Fires it. Oh, he had a feet, but it goes off the inside post. Johnson’s got to be so frustrated, James. He’s hit the bar a number of times tonight.

Now, it’s a question of what are they going to do with the lead and can they turn it around? A game of inches and he puts it off the outside of the post.

Calvary’s got a five on three and the clock’s their BFF here with all this time on the five on three. Yes, you can be more patient, but you don’t want to get low to sleep on the outside.

Gets the glove on it to make the save. Greavves is the reason his team is still in this game. I mean, he’s been acrobatic in the crease. Look at his save percentage. Save after save. But it does tell you his team needs to shore up their defensive structure and they have to find a way to create opportunities. Cadric’s won the face off here in the offensive zone. Oh, just a great heads up play by Wood. Sends it deep inside the offensive zone trying to clear and that’s picked up by a teammate instead. The Blue Jackets gain possession in their own end.

Back underway as he wins the draw inside the offensive zone. Columbus gets the puck near the boards. Here’s a chance to try to get it out of the defensive zone. And there’s the whistle. Icing the call. The Blue Jackets have had more chances offensively, but they have not been able to convert trailing here in this third. Off the face off, they take the puck.

The Flames probably don’t want this game to end the way things have gone here. I know we’re in Fury number three, but Cheryl, what a night. Yeah, it’s been terrific quite from puck drop and they’ve been consistent throughout the game and consistency is always a word that coaches talk about if they can finish this off with this nice lead. That’s the word the coach is going to be preaching after the game. Pass across to Coronado around along the half wall. Oh, what a great stop if he got a piece of it with the glove. It’s amazing to me how he always looks like he’s in the right position because he tracks and reads the play so well.

Well, an opportunity here to write the wrong on that demoralizing shorty earlier. They’re on the power play. The coach is telling them, listen, you got to stick to the system.

Here they come through the neutral zone and that’s intercepted by Bean and they get the puck out. Wholesale changes made here as they reset on the power play. Well, James, they don’t have these shots on net so far, but there’s half a power play left, so there is time. They just have some urgency and they’ve got to create here. They got to find a way to get in and get it to the net. Works it across to Coyle. Calvary is going to be able to kill a few seconds off now with the puck. Nice job to escape the zone. Trying to get something going here with this man advantage as they start from their own end. Coyle’s got it against the boards. Oh, save. shuts him down.

As an athlete, you always want to try and contribute and get things going for your team with the goalender finish. Get to the right spot. Break away from the finish here. James, I just love the confidence. He was very decisive in his move to be able to put this by the goalender. Well, this is a redemption play here, James. He’s sitting in the box, hoping that his team doesn’t get scored on. And then he jumps out of the box and cashes in and converts for his team. Got to love it. 200 foot play. That winds up being the difference. The Blue Jackets are going to swap. Hopefully this can get the wheels in motion for something positive. It’s just been a disastrous game and they’re going to get him out of there and put some relief in. The Flames continue to attack the net here in period number three, adding yet another goal to their score. Well, it’s been all areas of the game that have really been terrific tonight. James have also enjoyed the communication that we’re seeing on the ice. Not just the body language, but also the brokenness. I mean, they’re creating all over the ice. He’s been real fun to watch. Oh, it stays moves up the inside of the post. Columbus is really struggling here, James, and showing a ton of frustration. They’ve gotten their chances. They just haven’t been able to execute a little too fine with their shot selection. And guess what? They’ve rung it off the post a number of times. The Blue Jackets have the advantage in shots tonight, but they still find themselves trailing here in the third period. Play resumes here as he wins the draw inside the offensive zone. Big time stop there. What a fantastic save from a high danger scoring area, James. And he’s bailing his team out. They have to do a better job of protecting the middle of the ice.

The Blue Jackets gain control of the puck against the wall. Columbus has it in the defensive end. They’ve got numbers. Can they connect on the shot? Calvary’s moving it up the ice. Great stick work with the steel. Puts it on net with the stop. I don’t think anybody was hanging on to that puck after that hit. Wolf is going to make a wise decision here and get a whistle. A great decision, James. I mean, his opponent’s been coming at him full throttle. He wants to slow this down. They’re winning this game right now. He’s facing a ton of shots, and he knows he’s got to be strong down the stretch. He’s got to reset his entire group right now. And he tries to do it by getting that whistle. Grimson rips it.

Absolutely clinical finish on the breakaway all the way down the ice. James, the ability to get away from the pack, look over his shoulder, know where everyone is, and then that clean finish. Unbelievable goal. What a counteratt attack and brilliant speed to get on his horse and get in on the breakaway James. And that momentum it carries right through on his shot and he puts it home. Columbus had to play like this at the outset like you know to wait till the third period it feels a little late. Cheryl, there’s a reason why when the coach draws up plays, they say you have to start with intensity. And they didn’t do that all game long. And it’s a reason why they’re way behind the eightball. Slides it diagonally to Coyo. Nice zone entry from the middle. The Flames gain possession in their own end. Hubo’s got the puck through the neutral zone. Cadric got it along the wing.

I mean, the shooter’s in the middle of the ice. He’s in the slot area, and he’s got to get to the top of the free square to the puck to be able to make that save. Great job. And that’s a smart heads up play by Postol. When you trail in the game, sometimes you try and do too much. you’re overly aggressive and you try and do a high risk, high reward play. And that’s exactly what happens here. Unfortunately, it goes the other way. He doubles up the rebound and tucks it home. Well, they don’t ask how it goes in, James, just if it goes in. But this is one of those goals that’s all about the effort areas, the hard work, and the timing to get to the rebound first. The Blue Jackets don’t have time on their side, but they’re starting to scratch back. They’re scratching back. They’re clawing back, but they’re going to have to take some offensive chances.

And he hits one of his own teammates with that shot. The Blue Jackets continue to trail here late in this third period despite several scoring chances tonight. Off the drive. Nice job locking up his opponent over the post. Columbus hits the post again. When you’re trying to get back into the game, this can be a real deflator, James.
