Blue Jackets return twice in the win of wild shooter over Vancouver

Columbus, Ohio-the captain Boone Jenner spoke of the resilience of the Jackette Blue Columbus, which was the perfect word after the Blue Jackets exceeded the 3-0 and 5-3 deficits to make his way to Vancouver Canucks on Friday.

The coach Dean Furnish talked brilliantly of the lack of panic on the Blue Jackets bench, even if they committed crucial errors, gave up soft goals and endured a couple of calls and not kicked by the NHL officials with whom they were deeply disagreed.

But the defender Blue Jackets Dante Fabbro summarized the wild night better than anyone else, and he did it in 10 words.

“I almost had a heart attack a few times,” said Fabbro.

The Blue Jackets prevailed 7-6 in the shooting thanks to the decisive goal of the game of Kent Johnson, electrifying a crowd over 18,586 in the national arena, which may be necessary to consider the possibility of distributing salt pills, wagons armed with oxygen and defibrillators if this keeps the step.

Jenner had two goals and an assist and blacksmith had a goal and two assists. Denton Mateychuk, Mathieu Olivier and Kirill Marchenko also scored goals, and goalkeeper Elvis Merzlikins has passed a couple of difficult goals during the regulation to stop four shots in the extraordinary and all three in the shooting.

“It is one of those games you want to sit on for a few days because they are very emotional, but the challenge for our group is to restore very quickly because we have another great tomorrow,” said Olivier. “It’s that time of year. It’s exciting.”

Yes, take a deep breath. The Blue Jackets brought the suitcases after Friday’s victory and flew to Ottawa, where they will face the senators on Saturday at the Canadian Tire Center. The season is coming to a crescendo and blue jackets seem to live an enchanted life in the standings and ice.

No one else in the Mucky Mucky of the Eastern Conference is making a strong move for the eighth and last playoff (the second Jolly), which is why the victory of the Blue Jackets on Friday brought them back to that last place (at least temporarily).

Here’s how wild for the Blue Jackets was in the last few weeks and the match on Friday:

• The jackets have not scored a Power-Play goal: take this! -Dalla victory over the Detroit Red Wings at the Ohio Stadium, but the goal that marked to tie the score on Friday to 5 with 3:14 left in the regulation closed a 0-per-25 drought.

• The Goal Goal Olivier scored only 22 seconds later gave Blue Jackets their first advantage (6-5) in a club record 482 minutes, 37 seconds. The last advantage of the Jackets was a 7-3 victory over the New York Rangers on March 7th. (No, on Monday shootings on the New York Islanders does not count as the protagonist, says the NHL).

• Columbus’ first advantage in “Forever” lasted only 23 seconds before Vancouver tied it again, at 6.

“We have learned from different experiences and situations throughout the season and build that memory if things go a little to the side or get a little adverse,” said Evason. “I don’t think it is a shock that this team manages adversity quite well, and we did it.

“We went down 3-0, we had some calls and some of anything, and they continued their business and we continued to play hard. We were lucky to catch a couple of breaks and a couple of rebounds.”

The Blue Jackets were lucky to survive after such a poor. The Canucks scored two goals from Power-Play and brought 3-0 to goals from Linus Karlsson, Brock Boeser and Jake Debrusk. After spending the first five months of the season as one of the most important teams of the NHL, the Blue Jackets have taken the habit of recently horrible.

Olivier suggested that it is more mental than physical, that blue jackets, individually, must consider the possibility of changing the preparation prayer to be more clear to the puck drop.

“This is on us,” Jenner said. “It happened some games in a row here, and it is something we have to solve. It is not easy when the other team is identified a couple of goals in the first period.”

The blue jackets made a powerful push in the second.

Only 34 seconds in the period, Jenner deflected a Wrister Mateychuk from the left circle beyond the Vancouver goalkeeper Kevin Lankinen to do 3-1. At 4:54, Marchenko scored on a wrist shot from the slot and at 8:44, Fabbro has a step with a passage of Cole Sillinger from the right circle to tie it.

It seemed that the momentum had completely moved to the Columbus bench, especially when Vancouver’s Elias Pettersson was given a minor double for Jenner at rest, putting the jackets on a four -minute power game.

But, oh, that power of power. Not only did he fight to score, but it was also obsolete from the opposing penalty killing. Yes, during that long drought of penalty, it allowed three shorts to short.

Until, that is, the Canucks made four. Vancouver’s Pio Sum chipped the disc around Zach Werenski and sent him in advance for the native of New Albany Kiefer Sherwood, who took off in a short break and skipped a perfect step to Tyler Myers for an advantage of 4-3.

The Canucks pushed the advantage to 5-3 at 6:42 of the third.

“That stuff will happen,” Jenner said. “It cannot be eliminated as a group. There have been many swing oscillations, especially with the objectives.”

The jackets replied again. Mateychuk did 5-4 only 21 seconds after Aatu Raty gave Canucks command. Then came the Jenner Potenza game goal for a 5-5 draw.

Olivier, who had a goal greeted at the beginning of the third period for the goalkeeper’s interference, scored the 6-5 goal at 17:08 on the third. A disco fired hit him and fell in front of him, allowing him to overcome him in front of Lankinen for his 17th goal of the season.

While the crowd at national level was celebrating this goal: what is this, a protagonist? – The Canucks scored to tie it to 6. Raty got it again from the net front with the help of a first place in Sherwood. (The best of New Albany had three assists and a meeting with Merzlikins who designed whistles.)

The Blue Jackets were the only team to score in the shooting. Johnson took the habit of shooting among the goalkeepers bearings and he was seen that Lankinen expected it. When he submitted, Lankinen fell and Johnson covered him on the reverse.

Merzlikins stopped Debrusk, Conor Garland and Jonathan Lekkerimaki in the shooting. A wild night, full of forward and back, finally ended.
