GDT: Game 3: Columbus vs. Chicago 10/21 7PM

[Miggus]

The best part: Zero release, zero wind-up. How are you supposed to block that? You have no idea when he's going to shoot.

There's that release again. No hesitation, just get it on the net

 

[NotWendell]

Werenski is a ****ing monster

Well, THIS year he's a Jacket.

 

[Zarathustra]

His turnover in the zone started that whole sequence.

You are correct. I missed that.

 

[NotWendell]

Smartest thing Torts did this week was to demand tons of shots on net. When we do that and forecheck, it makes everything else work better - even when Richie was coaching, same deal.

Forgot to post this but that goal against was completely unfortunate. Jenner made a bad play and then an incredibly unlucky redirection off his skate cause the break

 

[Cowumbus]

I think you are misunderstanding me now and misunderstanding the scouting reports from 2015. I'm not saying anything here other than that he is far better than what one typically gets at #8OA. Jarmo might have expected him to be elite (either #1 or elite elite, whatever), but if everyone did he never would have made it to #8.

He is not "meeting expectations" so far. He is surpassing them, by a large margin. You don't get expected elite players at 8, you get guys with elite upside.

Youre just helping my case, the typical delusional cbj fan. He hasn't surpassed anything, We drafted him and expected him to reach 1D status. (That is why you draft someone, you think they have the potential and greatest chance of reaching it, otherwise draft someone else) he is on the second pairing on one of the worst teams in the league.. please tell me how he has passed any expectations. Its great to see him doing well and getting points but he has so much to learn in his own zone. He got beat for the last goal, and gave away the puck for a goal last game but nobody wants to focus on anything neg.

Major i really don't know what to tell you, whatever argument or point i make i'm sure you have some reason for why i'm wrong or how you think differently. I'm just saying pump the breaks, Filatov looked great in his first few starts too.(not saying Werenski will not pan out)

im just so tired of hearing how "prospect X" will be a 20 goal scorer, a #1 dman, whatever it is. Lets let them actually become "Elite" or a #1dman before we label them as such.

You are correct. I missed that.

Said no one ever.

 

[NotWendell]

Said no one ever.

Not on THESE boards! LOL

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Does Werenski lead the team in points? Did Murray break his nose?

 

[NotWendell]

How about we enjoy the fact that Werenski is playing well for us? This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[Zarathustra]

Said no one ever.

I'm a trail blazer!

No kidding.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Does Werenski lead the team in points? Did Murray break his nose?

Werenski and Fligs tied with 4 points, Wennberg also has 4 IIRC

 

[NotWendell]

Does Werenski lead the team in points? Did Murray break his nose?

Yes, tied with two others as Finn noted. No, Seabrook broke Murray's nose.

 

[Halfboard]

well played....

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

I can't believe it's not Newtivara

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Bill! Great shift

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I think Werenski and Bjorkstrand have been on the ice for all three goals for.

 

[NotWendell]

Wild Bill from Savard!

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Chili!!

 

[We Want Ten]

Nice.
Wild Bill?

 

[NotWendell]

Look at that - 24 shots with 5 minutes left in the 2nd. That's a thing a beauty!

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Nice.
Wild Bill?

I'd reckon so

 

[aRussian]

If our D can keep the "find the net" shots for a majority of the season, things might hurt much less.

 

[Zarathustra]

Wild Bill showing that he has some hands.
