Why is Nikitin back in the lineup?

Why is Nikitin back in the lineup?

Offense more than defense.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Not sure he was " all alone" as Rimer said. It looked to me like he was being draped by the Carolina player

 

[MFRONE]

Get Nikitin off the ice

 

[DJA]

Nikitin is so bad

 

[aRussian]

Nikitin is the bullet that we are shooting ourselves with... Turnovers in front of net are gonna hurt

 

[MoeBartoli]

Offense more than defense.

That makes sense to me the way Richards has been looking at things lately. Get get your offense from the defensemen and get your defense from the forwards (Tropp over RJ).

Post-game presser: "we generated lots of chances, we just didn't finish them."

The whole team is turning it over. Why is Nikitin The problem?

 

[aRussian]

Our zone is a temporary lumber yard

"Good gritty effort. It just wasn't good enough."

Didn't mean to imply that, just that two terrible turnovers right in front of the net.

Just a predictive post, not trying to savage him over others.

 

[DJA]

why can't we score

 

[Wendy Clear]

It feels like it'll take a miracle for the Jackets to score lately. Regardless of how this season pans out, we need more balance in this lineup; less two-way grinders and more skill.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

This game is awful.

 

[DJA]

i'm sensing another shutout loss

 

[Jyrki]

jesus nikitin

...

 

[MFRONE]

Nikitin slow to cover

 

[EdwardG]

This team doesn't look even close to scoring. Few even decent opportunities being generated.

 

[aRussian]

Better figure out how to get puck in net or this is another one where I just straight watch the clock wind down while we whimper into the non-playoff picture.

Thank the GM. Brilliant nuanced deadline moves.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Both Prout and Nikitin were both outmanned in that sequence

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Just embarrassing.

If we get our cursory one goal maybe we can take this to ot

 

[BluejacketNut]

why can't we score

Because we're a team of grinders

 

[NotWendell]

Whew!
