Just to throw some fuel on the fire - I think 70 point Foligno was; hopefully 50 pt Foligno is present for the duration of his deal.

I remember him as being WAY nastier. I was dreading him bullying our smaller players, but it just didn't seem to happen.
I added to post above, but it bears repeating that Wennberg looked good.

Foligno's PP stats last season were ridiculously good and a regression from that level is to be expected. He was 4th in the NHL in 5 on 4 scoring per 60 minutes:

I had thought that he never scored near as much as he should have prior to last season. I see no reason why he can't be a 55-60 points scorer for the next several seasons.

Just thinking
There were a few times last night that the puck would end up in the corner and Foligno and Saad would both pursue it. I think Foligno is trying to do to much, maybe Saad as well. If they are trying to cover for a line mate who may or may not be doing his own job that could be a big part of this.
It was similar to watching kids (up to about 10 years old) playing soccer. Everyone following the ball everywhere instead of trusting that your teammate has it and will pass it to you. Pod soccer.

Well, we better get something good for him then because he's done with the organization once he becomes a UFA
If I recall, Joey's conditioning has been an issue in the past. If this story is true, I am glad that Torts is being blount and honest.

This may 100% true, but if it's coming from a Rangers beat writer......it means nothing as far as I am concerned.
How would get the info and the guys that cover that Jackets don't? Makes no sense
Sounds like a guy who didn't get along with Torts in NY starting some BS
Until he reveals source......I ain't buying
Note: This story and Joey's conditioning and effort are two totally separate issues

This. Brooks and Torts have had world famous run ins with each other. Not saying his reporting is inaccurate or whatever, but its something to keep in mind.

So Torts can gauge a player's conditioning in one period?
Me thinks very strongly that the FO is pulling the strings on this one (if this is true). They still haven't gotten over the fact that #19 had the audacity to demand fair market value and didn't bow to their silly low ball offers.

If there's one thing that can be gauged it is that.
So ballsy to act on it.

We will win nothing with Ryan Johansen as our #1 center.Well it WAS Ryan Johansen AND the Bluejackets.
NOW
Its Ryan Johansen, John Tortorella.......AND the bluejackets

How bad has this start been?
The Jackets have scored 15 goals and given up 37 for a goals differential of -22.
Montreal, which has started 8-0-0, has scored 30 goals and given up 9 for a goals differential of +21.
In 8 games, the Jackets have a goals differential of -43 relative to Montreal's. That comes to -5.375 goals per game.
Oh my

You really are never going to let that contract negotiation go, are you? I'm still hopeful that Joey will be a Blue Jacket for life and will find his way. But, I'm glad we didn't sign him long-term back then as I think he needs to have that carrot out in front of him. He's playing like he's already waiting it out for his 6 million payday to hit next year.
I'm sure the Joey came up in conversations with Torts and FO in his first day. But, I seriously doubt that Torts is doing anything with his lineup because the FO told him to do so. If he sat Joey in the third, it's because he thought others could do better, not because the FO told him to use the whip.
Positive spin? We are 8 points out of a playoff spot with 74 games to play. I think i will continue to watch to see what they can do. Maybe they have another 15-1 streak in them.

There is no way I can agree with Torts being told by the FO to stomp on Joey. Half the posters on this board have been calling him out for several games. The fantasy hockey players were too absorbed in their PPG stats to notice that he has had almost no impact on any game played yet this year. A message needs to be sent to him. I hope it was and everybody gets it. Otherwise, whatever. I hope he stays forever, but not at any cost.
