Good game by Jackets. They beat FL but Elvis wasn’t on board with the idea

The Four Seven
Rest in Peace Johnny and Matthew
This isn't last year's team and I love that, but it's hard to win much when your $5M+ goalie puts up .8-goddamn-18 sv%.
I have tried really hard to give Elvis the benefit of the doubt for over a year but after tonight where we're supposed to win one for Johnny, he, well, plays like Elvis. I'll pop a f***ing champagne bottle when he's gone.

I think Fantilli is struggling a bit at times, but I think we can patient with him for sure.
Elvis on the other hand...
Stay safe guys, have a good night.

Unfortunate. Thought Chinakov had the tying goal. Credit to Knight. Team didn't quit when they went down by 2. Imagine if Columbus had a good goalie. Hope to see Tarasov in net next game and if he wins or plays well, ride him.
It's very much like this franchise to lose on a night like this isn't? Damn you hockey gods.
I hope Evason understands that Elvis isn't to be trusted.

I think we played very good. But we lack a player with a set shot, not only strong but accurate, who can shoot without handling the puck too much.
And, of course, a goalie. With all due respect, Elvis is an average goalie at best.
Werenski, Johnson - TOP. Again.
I very like Provorov and Sillinger.
Jarmo drafted very good but his Severson and especially Merzlikins signs... .

They had three or four times as many chances as the Panthers. That our team is capable of this - and frankly looks very dangerous offensively when they really want to turn it on - has me very encouraged.
Not sure I agree with all the Elvis bashing; I think we got average goaltending and we lost because of Spencer Knight's great goaltending.
But good effort anyway, encouraging game like major said.

I thought he really came alive in the third when he was put with KJ and Sillinger.
I think he's still putting it together after the injury, there's been a bit of hesitation there.
I think it was not a good game by Elvis. Below average, though not horrible. But as you said Knight was great, and Knight had a couple posts and lucky breaks and that was the difference.

Elvis -2.86 goals against expected and a save % of .816.
The Empty Net had a better results than Elvis

Great effort by the forwards.
Okay defense, a couple mistakes.
And to be nice, no comment on the guy sucking up $5 mill in net.

Well, let's review.
- Well honored our 13th forward (z''l)
- Monahan scored
- That WONDERFUL shortie by KJ and Sillinger
- Felt so damn good to hear the cannon fire again
- Monahan got the goal I hoped he'd get
- Liked how Harris looked in his debut
- Didn't give up an ENG when last year it would have been inevitable
- Monahan got to point to the #13 banner after the goal
- Overall the boys looked awesome and put up a hell of an entertaining fight even if it didn't go our way in the end
- Oh, and Monahan got a goal.
Nah. 3 of those were just ugly. The 4th goal is one Knight saves too.
What’s the scoop on Guddy? So sad he got injured tonight.
I was at the game and while 2 of those goals were on Elvis, the rest was on Team defense. Some players like Sillinger was puck watching with less than 10 seconds to go and allowed Reinhart to go unimpeded to the front of the net.
While I thought some players played well others went back to last year’s game.
I don’t think tonight was a very good game all around for the team.

Observation: The only times this team has ever been good, they have fight and actually score goals in clutch moments at the end of games. The Torts era was the last time we had that.
Not to mention, when was the last time we outshot a good team like the Panthers to that extent? Not under Vincent, that’s for sure.
This is not your last 3-4 years version of CBJ. Maybe the record won’t show it at the end of the year, but this could be a vastly better team than we’ve had recently. And the kids are getting better. Thank God for good coaching.

Just got home from the game.
I am proud of the way they played and that’s the first time I’ve felt like that in a long time.

????????????????
Aside from the L which obviously sucks, the team showed so much resilience and played their asses off. Expected goals were 3.44 to 1.14. Thoroughly dominated the reigning champs
This team feels different. You can tell the culture they are building is real.

He seems to be reluctant to shoot, or at least more so than last year. Probably just shaking the rust off.
He looks like he’s gonna take a few games to get fully back into it. But that’s fine, he had a weird injury and he’s still a very young player.
