GDT: Game 4 | Buffalo Sabres at Columbus Blue Jackets | 10/17 7pm

[ViD]

1-0 Chinny on the PP! Was gonna say he need to work on his accuracy after that first shot missed (?) but I'll take that back.

Exactly my thoughts

 

[Seedtype]

Chinakov just needed a ranging shot, heh.

 

[CBJx614]

Another point for KJ?

 

[Jaxs]

Sweet Chinny!

 

[KJ Dangler]

Imagine being such a great coach (Pascal) that you didn’t use KJ on Powerplay

 

[ViD]

Another point for KJ?

Yup

8 and 91

 

[stevo61]

More Datsyuk like stuff on that PP for Johnson. A year ago he'd crumble when the defense got to him but now he invites the contact, pulling the D out of the box and making a play. Love to see it

I do think confidence plays a big factor in his production as well. Obviously hes put in a ton of work(no denying that) but Evason saw his talent and has trusted him with tons of TOI and opportunity.

 

[ViD]

Chinny already could have had a hattie

NHL/ Cbj ticker on my screen said Unassisted ?

Just a delay, not a chance that was unassisted

 

[Seedtype]

I believe the assists were Werenski and Johnson.

Was always puzzling to me , he has great success on PP his rookie year

 

[Seedtype]

I like Monahan... but his visor alignment bothers me a lot.

They were direct passes

For an offensive D, Provorov misses the net a lot

He was on the PP last year. Over two minutes per game. Zero points. You know how to look these things up before you post, right?

Regardless of coach, there was never any doubt that KJ was going to get handed the top playmaker role, we had no other options after we lost Johnny.

KJ is physically ready this time and I'm sure it helps him that he knows he isn't losing his minutes even if he has a bad game. He's free to be as creative as he wants to be.

 

[CBJx614]

MARCHYYYYYY

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

2-0 Marchenko gets on the board! Awesome. Marchy picks up a high puck from the boards and just flings it to the net and it goes past Levi.

 

[Seedtype]

Yeah good job on Marchenko keeping that puck in and scoring.

 

[Jaxs]

Marchenko with the steal and score.

It's crazy how's he's essentially directly replaced Gaudreau. We'll see if he can keep it up over the course of the season and for his career, but KJ could be a godsend for this org if he's truly breaking out.

(No pressure KJ!)

 

[DougKnowsBest]

Love evason

 

[MAHJ71]

Did they show Voronkov ? I joined mid introduction

I’m at the game, so not sure about TV but Vronk was the first suited player introduced. No sling for him - lol

 

[VABUCK]

For some reason I'm actually listening to the play by play this season.
