Player Discussion: Kirill Marchenko thread

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Chinakhov’s better!!!

In all seriousness, love Marchenko as a player. Needs to add some patience to his game, slow it down a bit more at times with the puck, and improve his shot selection.

Skating AGILITY could use some improvement. I think he also needs to add some more muscle to his frame to add to his effectiveness, even if his top speed lowers a bit.

All in all, I’m all for keeping all 3 of the Russians for as long as possible.

My favorite does not always equal the best. In fact, it’s possible it never has in the club’s history. It’s not a scouting report.

Kevyn Adams
David Vyborny
Duvie Westcott
Marc Denis
Ole-Kristian Tollefson
Manny Malhotra
Matt Calvert
Nick Foligno
Oliver Bjorkstrand

Some of those guys overlap but those are the guys that stand out to me off the top of my head.

I share your position that I'd like to keep Marchenko, Chinakov and Voronkov as long as possible. I am a fan of all three.

I think my list roughly goes as follows:
David Vyborny
Ty Conklin
Fredrik Norrena
Jan Hejda
RJ Umberger
Marc Methot
St. Vinny
Cam Atkinson
Nick Foligno
Mark Letestu
Nick Blankenburg

Marchenko's getting there but it's an uphill battle given my morale of late.

Ah Mark Letestu. And it's hard to argue on Ty Conklin, given his keen grasp of criticality.

He did have a good point.

Letestu - one of my favorites for sure.

My girlfriend’s fav was Cam who she always refers to as “my son”.

Example #3,148 of how a thread goes off topic.

Tugger and Denis among the goalies. One of my favorite memories is going to a CBJ game with my niece when she was maybe ten and every time Marc Denis would make a save we would say in unison ‘Denis denies’.

My favorite list includes Tugnutt, Nash (early Nash), Prout, Calvert, Jack Johnson, Bob, and Werenski. I was a fan of healthy Ryan Murray. I loved the era where we had lots of good defensemen. Ready to jump on the Lindstrom or Elick train in a few years.

For both the Jackets and the Crew I got caught up in the first season hype (especially the Crew when they played in Ohio Stadium) but then ignored them for a few years. But I had OSU football season tickets and would go to OSU basketball, OSU hockey, and Clippers games. Heck, I even went to some Destroyers games. Really got back into hockey when my kids started playing

 

[EspenK]

My favorite is Marchenko.

I must say I'm not a fan of his preseason play so far, looks like he's just mailing it in. Hope that will change once real games begin and he gets to play on a different line.
