Jiricek has been great tonightAre we sure Jiricek is good?
Sitting in 207.. I thought it was a hand or fingerAnyone see what happened to voronkov?
Yeah this is where I am with Sillinger. He does little things every now and then that make him seem better than an average player, he was good in the first period I thought, less so here in the second. And he's still young. So hopefully he can put it all together eventually. Might be wishful thinking.Sillinger looks niftier at times
Johnson looks poised to break out this season
Edit - then Sillinger blows a tire in his own zone lol
“Great” is a bit much.Jiricek has been great tonight

Great!?Jiricek has been great tonight
Harris and/or Mateychuk need to replace one or both of that pairing. Jiricek did better with Mateychuk, playing him with Johnson is setting him up for failure.Johnson just letting his guy skate right by him and set up unabated in front of the goal
I become more and more convinced the Jackets don’t have 3 DMen better than Mateychuk.Harris and/or Mateychuk need to replace one or both of that pairing. Jiricek did better with Mateychuk, playing him with Johnson is setting him up for failure.
Interesting is one word for itInteresting JVR and not Fantilli with empty net unit 1
AND OLIVIER ON THE 2nd UNiT!?
Everyone keeps saying Jenner is better at W than at C. Is he? There’s no stats that support that claim. And so far in preseason my eyes don’t believe that claim.

I was trying to give Severson the benefit of the doubt, but, the correct number here is 2.I become more and more convinced the Jackets don’t have 3 DMen better than Mateychuk.
Agree . Mateychuk is 2nd best defenseman on this team . Will they risk losing some defenseman to waivers by keeping him on team ?Not sure Harris is the answer either. Mateychuk and Christiansen should be starting game 1, IMO.

It’s Werenski and him. And everyone might be better off if they are a pairing right now.
Are we sure Jiricek is good?
I agree, Fantilli and Johnson have great chemistry. Also I am not sure if JvR is ideal for the second line, so will see.They're trying new things with the D pairs but not really at all at F.
On D, it's interesting that Provorov is getting a chance with Werenski, I say why not. Christiansen getting a chance with Severson is great, though Severson hasn't really shown up late, I'm not sure if he'll be much help. We'll see how much possession Jiricek and JJ have together.
The only change I can see up front is that KJ and Chinakhov have switched spots. I personally like that a lot, I want to see our best playmaker with Fantilli.
Same topline since the start of camp despite them not looking good to most of us here. They objectively have not done much. I'm curious if this is Evason's pet idea.
