Post-Game Talk: Blue Jackets @ Rangers | 1/19/20

[RGY]

f*** this team. Cant secure a f***ing point. Again.

DQ cannot get these guys to buckle down yet again.

 

[Tob]

Out coached in this one. 16-17-10 were horrible tonight. 93 was on his game and 89 was atrocious. Buchnevich with 5 turnovers in the D zone. Fast and Strome unable to keep up in the O zone allowing multiple turnovers and rush chances. Kreider was decent but Mika should have been put with Bread at some point in the game, if not for the last 10 minutes of the 3rd after the goal. Instead we got more Staal throwing the puck out of the zone and right back in leading to chance after chance after chance. We had Trouba who gets overwhelmed when we're hemmed in and a bunch of idiots like Howden and McKegg that can't produce offensively or help defensively. A tight game but a real highlight of all of our problems. I said this 2 hours ago that this was going to be a game where you wish you had a good 4th line depth when you lose the game.

 

[Kords]

Also, love Lemmy but lmao putting him on the first line. It's one thing to demote Buch, but maybe don't replace him with a rusty 3rd liner. Another bad game for DQ

 

[Gresch04]

So done with Buch.... and for the record I was one of his biggest fans early on... Consistently the dumbest guy on the ice

Buxh is a stupid player, always looks like he's about to cry, and his "bad luck" is just really proof that he's not good enough.

 

[EdJovanovski]

The dude gets chances but never finishes. And all for the low price of $3MM per season.

That’s a bargain compared to what Canucks are paying their 4th liners lol

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

I'm mad. Beat the Islanders please....

no way they beat Islanders 3 in a row.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Columbus has to be the most boring team in the league but they getting it done

we had 0 pp and 0 bad calls really this game
they play like peewee swarm the puck style on steroids

 

[eco's bones]

It wouldn't be an NHL season without us losing at least once to a goalie playing his first ever game.

 

[Machinehead]

Overreactions aside, I guess everyone is going to ignore them playing with really good structure basically all night. They made two mistakes and CBJ made them pay for it twice.

That's the way it goes sometimes.

It was a good game.

It's more so that it was the usual f***ing suspects making the mistakes.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Quinn's leash is a lot longer than what one would believe reading this thread. Come on now.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

If we are not sellers at the deadline we are run by complete morons.

I would hope so, but they coveted Trouba to be our #1 defenseman so who knows what’s going on up there.

Yeah I though it was a pretty solid game, up until the final 10 minutes. Felt like we had some tasty opportunities that we couldn't actually generate a chance from. Ah well. We just won like this a few days ago so what can you do.

 

[RGY]

“Most important game”....

yea ok thanks DQ, team look as unprepared as possible to play tonight. What an awful effort.

This team deserves everything they get. Infuriating to watch.

 

[will1066]

Which genius took down Igor at the end?

Think he did it on his own. Tried to be the sixth man with the puck behind the net and a teammate kinda sideswiped him a little.

 

[Alluckks]

I cant actually say where I saw the refs miss a call on them. Its rare, but can anyone honestly say they missed calls in this one?

Lots of holding in the defensive zone

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Strome gets treated and used like he's a solid two way center who plays a smart 200 foot game when in actuality he fancies himself a Panarin in the offensive zone and give next to no effort outside of it.

He's had multiple lazy back checks leading to goals against, multiple slow coverages and poor positioning in the defensive zone that lead to goals against and now he's made multiple bad line changes that have lead directly to goals against. Dude almost never gets held accountable and just keeps getting tons of time with the best player on the team and inflated point totals so he thinks he's better than he is and he certainly acts like it. It's a complete joke.

He should be healthy scratched on Tuesday, that's how bad that change was. 30 seconds left in the game and he goes to the bench on what would've been a 3 on 3 if he just stayed with his man and gifts them a 3 on 2 that they score on. Just absolutely abhorrent. Selfish, lazy and completely inexcusable.

Quinn calls this game the biggest game of the season and this born loser Strome does that with 30 seconds left? Get f***ed dude, go sign a stupid contract in Detroit or something.

 

[Cowumbus]

It did bring back memories watching the Blue Jackets lay on top of each other to form a human wall in front of the goalie at the end there.

This actually made me laugh out loud.

 

[EdJovanovski]

1. Shesterkin
2. Zibanejad
3. Skjei

lol @ people who think Trouba was excellent this game. If this is him at his best, that’s gonna be one ugly contract. We shouldn’t be too negative, we hung in there with the hottest team in the league and matched their game which is the polar opposite of our own.

 

[Tob]

Buxh is a stupid player, always looks like he's about to cry, and his "bad luck" is just really proof that he's not good enough.

Trade him for whatever at the deadline. He's not worth it. He's had chances and opportunities. He was penciled into the top line to start the season when Quinn came out and said during camp that "Buchnevich is on the top line" before we even had a preseason game. He's not in the long term plans of success like Kreider COULD be. He's young and a valuable asset for a contender needing offensive depth for a window run. It's over for Buchenvich in NY.

 

[Stasis]

Lots of panic in here I see... we were always going to be this team this year. We're performing better than I thought.

We need to move Kreider. We need to move Georgiev, it's clear Igor is ready to take over and Hank won't budge. But we should also move Buch if we can get a winger in return for someone and acquire another in the off-season. Draft with 2 first-rounders and a 2nd, unless we can sacrifice receiving a first for a better prospect.

edit: trading Strome means we have no centers. I have no idea where you ppl think a magic center is going to appear from. Zbad injured? Done. Smart.

 

[Gresch04]

Being a ranger fan for 40 years it's always one step forward 3 steps back.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

I hope they trade Strome at the deadline.

Skjei and Trouba screened Shesterkin on both goals.

 

[Tawnos]

Overreactions aside, I guess everyone is going to ignore them playing with really good structure basically all night. They made two mistakes and CBJ made them pay for it twice.

That's the way it goes sometimes.

Yeah I thought they were pretty good tonight in terms of defensive execution.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

And not a good game for Panarin. Looked like he was forcing it all night.

His entire line was horrible.

Those 3, buchnevich and Staal were abysmal. I'll give that line a pass since they can't be on every game, but the other 2 needs to sit or gtfo.

 

[will1066]

Well, at least now I know how to spell Kivlenieks
