Is Chinakhov hurt again or

Is Chinakhov hurt again or

I asked...Hedge said he is out there, he just missed putting him on a line. But good catch...I missed it originally.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I get it’s go time and we’re slumping and he hasn’t been good but idk I think I’d keep Chinakhov in there to keep trying to figure it out. I know the coach wants lines he can rely on in both zones but you can easily make a line that way.

Voronkov-Monahan-Marchenko
Jenner-Fantilli-KJ
JVR-Danforth-Chinakhov
ZAR-Kuraly-Olivier

Everyone but Dean looking to get Kunin out of the lineup.

Would have to think when Sillinger comes back that he’s out. Unless he decides Kunin is better than ZAR or JVR

 

[Killakirillthethrill]

That's awesome news !

The more I think about Jenner and him also still trying to get back to his own standard the more I don't think I want him on that line. He's all dump and chase, Johnson is more puck control and Fantilli while evolving is still more of a rush player. Feels like having Jenner there may throw rhythm off because all Jenner wants to do is go forward and kind of eliminates rush options. Chinakhov could get a look there or just go with the most comfortable option and put JVR there. If it's JVR that allows Jenner-Chinakhov to be available for the 3rd line which could be good depth wise

 

[Killakirillthethrill]

Glad they got Johnson on PP1!

I kinda expect Gudbrannson to be a liability for a couple games(I mean, did he ever really get acclimated to Evanson's system?). But he's definitely a good leader.

 

[MoeBartoli]

So glad to see Monahan return. How long will it take him to shake the rust? Quickly, I Hope.

While I think Chinakov’s game is off, having been out for so many games, I’m still going to give him an o opportunity to find his game and go with these lines:

Voronkov-Monahan- Marchenko
Chinakov-Fantilli-Johnson
Jenner-Danforth-Olivier
JVR - Kuraly - ZAR

Sit Kunin and when Sillinger returns, put him on the 3rd line With Danforth going in for ZAR.

His shot can be crazy accurate. Even the most accurate shooters will have times where they are not dialed in. The slow release is the bigger problem right now, when he's low in confidence he's overloading his release, which is a common problem for shooters when they're not feeling it. He might want to get a less whippy stick.

I guess anyone's shot is "crazy accurate" when it happens to be accurate He's a career ~10% shooter so far. 14.5 last year, his best to date. That's 174 games over the span of 4 years, personally I wouldn't hold my breath he'll become a crazy accurate shooter on a regular basis - but everything with Chinakhov currently is clouded by the injury troubles, at least I don't have any idea what to realistically expect from the player going forward.

I mean Chinakhov will have stretches where he is consistently picking his spot.

His shootout shot on the ice just next to the goalie's stick is a very small target and yet he frequently nails it.

Chinakhov doesn't have a shot accuracy issue he's just got to get his timing / confidence back.

FWIW those shooting percentages are good, I'm not sure if you're suggesting otherwise.

I just thought "can be crazy accurate" was kind of funny since any decent shooter in the NHL fits that. His shooting percentages are nothing to sneeze at but compared to other good shooters in the league, they are subpar if anything. Not many can shoot the puck as hard as Yegor though and he's only 320 shots into his career, let's hope that number starts going up faster than it has so far.

The bigger issue of concern for me is the reason (or various reasons) he's only 320 shots into his NHL career at this point for as long as he's been around.

4 seasons now and he can't come close to playing more than 62 games like he did in his first season.

Last year's 14.5% is a very high number. It's a very small number of players who can consistently do that.

I don't know if his accuracy is amazing (though on the shootout it sure looks like it), I was replying to someone who was saying his shot is not accurate.

 

[CBJx614]

Not yet, tomorrow shapes the rest of the race though. It's either gonna be a huge momentum push towards or away from gaining that last spot back.

I like the D pairings, actually. Though I can’t remember if the second pair was any good together.

They were not good together. But who knows, maybe they'll click this time.

Werenski - Severson and Provorov - Fabbro both have very good results together, so I would have tried that.
