Once again I won’t be watching live. I’ll be watching Black panther. So this might be the winning recipe

This is the kind of night where you need your goalie to steal a game.
Translation: ugh!

 

[Cowumbus]

Coaching has been questionable at best.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Ridiculous that Kent Johnson is sitting while Robinson, Sillinger and Chinakov draw in over him.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Coaching has been questionable at best.

That's just brutal. He's been one of the few bright spots on offense.

 

[Jovavic]

Feels like a low scoring game, 3-1 Isles with an ENG, Korpisavior tries his best but the offense fails him by shooting into Sorkin's chest 50 times

Oh nice we get 50 shots?

Sounds like it would be a more entertaining game than usual.

Robinson is a PK player.

So Johnson is a coaches decision now? Jesus I tried to let myself believe I could get through the season with him but man I hate a ton of Larsen's choices.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I get everyone wants to watch KJ, but what has he done to warrant being in the lineup?

Genuinely curious because to me he hasn’t. Be granted, neither has Sillinger

I think he's been significantly better than Sillinger and has really only looked unimpactful since he's been stuck with Sillinger.

But I also don't care if he sits a game. Kids don't need to play 82 games a year, that's not helpful for development.

Sillinger is easy. Roslovic gets the vet stamp so he can continue to be a turnover machine without worry, Chinakhov has tailed off mostly because theyve neutered him being on that line with low icetime, Foudy could be another choice.
Long story short, play him or send him down. Stop the garbage that sitting in the pressbox is some form of development.

 

[NotWendell]

Well, I do recall Torts frequently saying sometimes you have to sit a kid in the press box once in a while so they can see the game unfold from up above. Part of development.

Honestly, I'd try KJ at center and put Roslovic on his wing. If KJ gets kicked out of the circle, you have Roslovic to take the draw.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Robinson is a PK player.

So are Boone, Gus, Foudy, Ros and Olivier…5 others who do what Robby does So he’s redundant. On the other hand only Johnny can pass like KJ can

Isn’t it a little early to see the Torts Ghost of Christmas Past?

Nor has Chinakov, Ros or Jake (who’s out)

Even last season, Lars said Boone would play less. So I would leave him out.
Robbie is a proven player and as you can see, Lars doesn't like to take risks, if at all.

 

[Columbus Jack]

Send Kent to Cleveland if he's gonna sit. So dumb

 

[ViD]

I will be shocked if we get points tonight

 

[I3LI3]

I will be shocked if we get points tonight

prepare to not be shocked

 

[I3LI3]

random useless fact: johnny gaudreau has faced the islanders only 11 times in the 602 games he’s placed. other than us and seattle, he’s faced no other team less.

of course, he is a ppg player in those 11 games.

 

[ViD]

Pretty sure it’s safe to say this is the weakest defensive lineup CBJ ever iced in 6-7 years

Crazy just a couple years ago our blue line looked like
Jones - Werenski
Savard - Gavrikov
Murray - Nutivaara

No MASH unit tonight!
