The Blue Jackets Tom Wilson?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

This KJ-Fantilli-Bemstrom line is struggling

The Blue Jackets Tom Wilson?

He hasn’t taken out someone’s knee or a headshot yet.

nostrovia!

 

[VABUCK]

He hasn’t taken out someone’s knee or a headshot yet.

Saturday night he'll get his chance. I'd love to see Wilson taken out!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

He hasn’t taken out someone’s knee or a headshot yet.

His first game he threw 2 fairly dirty hits and got into a fight.

But I love his game so far if this is any indication of what he can do.

 

[Marioesque]

I originally envisioned a Marchenko-Voronkov-Chinakhov line but this "russian 3" today is fine too.
You can see how energized Marchy came back, and the known chemistry with Voronkov is showing immediately.

 

[Napoli]

Apparently the crowd is extremely light tonight.

Pretty much every night is like this

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

That goal looked very nice on the replay, some luck combined with nice passing. Good work by Sillinger too, well deserved I feel.

 

[MoeBartoli]

So far the bottom 2 lines have been the two best lines

 

[Napoli]

Get Jenner the f*** away from Gaudreau

 

[majormajor]

by “constantly creating plays”, you mean skating around the offensive zone behind the net and then aimlessly throwing the puck net front to no one there… sure.

oh and he also has the 2nd worst xGA, only tex has worse numbers there. while he does have one of the highest xGF totals on the team (which isn’t much compared to other top line forwards across the league).. he’s been a liability in the defensive zone/when the puck isn’t on his stick. the xGA numbers that he’s posted back that statement up.

he needs to be better, period. how someone can argue against that is appalling/has super low expectations for said star player.

You're looking at minutes, not defensive play.

Use rate stats. In this case xGA/60.

Johnny has the 2nd best xGA rate among our 11 forwards with 60+ minutes of ice time. That's really good.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Why did nobody cover for Jiricek

 

[thebus88]

Voronkov is VERY good at reading the game and all the “little things” on the ice. Better than most “skilled” players. Good passer. Like to see him get some (clean) shots off on net.

His size and ability around the net is another UNIQUE asset, and 1 the team hasn’t had in an awhile, if EVER if we’re honest. He’s an absolutely unique player. A good player. A NHL player.

 

[squashmaple]

Voronkov’s feet might not be up to speed yet, but I will say his passing has been excellent.

Finally I can access the stream!

 

[Halfboard]

Finally I can access the stream!

Bally working?

 

[Seedtype]

Bally working?

Yeah. Took forever ugh.

 

[Halfboard]

Yeah. Took forever ugh.

Not for me yet

 

[cbjthrowaway]

saying this knowing full well that it is going to sound insane, but:

erik gudbranson hasn't just been serviceable lately – he's been actually good.

 

[Seedtype]

Bally just spins and spins when I try to log in still. What a joke.

I was able to get in a few minutes ago. How about you?

 

[Doggy]

OK, who is going to be the last player to get their first goal of the season now that Marchenko is off the list?

Johnny Hockey
Tex
Silly
Provorov
Chinny
