GDT: STL at CBJ || 7:00PM

[3074326]

Got to attend tonight, nice win! Third period aside it felt like a lot of offensive zone time. But I’m pretty drunk so

FWIW the play that Pyyhtia made on his goal is the type of high IQ play that keeps you in the league for a long time. Pulled the puck across his body and used his leg to shield the defender before making a nice shot. Way to go kid.

I was saying the same things when he was still “zero goal Pyythia” and Sillinger was putting up all those empty points.

To me, he looks and plays very similar to Texier. But, he’s a much more calm and controlled player than Texier.

I’d have him and Malatesta in as regulars on my ideal CBJ roster. Over more than a few guys that fill out the “bottom 6”.

Another win by playing 11-7
They would have gone with 12-6 but the Leblanc family had a new addition to the squad
Congrats to the Leblancs

I also see Pyyhtia as a great guy for a bottom 6, maybe more for the 4th than the 3rd. He has some scoring skill that he can hopefully unlock.

I don't see the Tex comparison, perhaps because being "all over the place" is part of what defines Tex for me. He's a beast, and a mess, and Pyyhtia is neither of those things.

To the Labanc family.

FWIW they're not French origin, Kevin's last name comes from his Dad who was from Slovakia.

 

[Aaaarrgghh]

Voronkov exceeding anyone’s expectations. I was hoping for a good mid 6 forward, but he’s playing like a 1 line big forward

I distinctly remember @VT telling us how good he was going to be. Lock him up long-term, D-Wad. 8×$6M?

Good win today! Great to see Fantilli and Pyyhtiä score too.

I think Voronkov-Marchenko-Monahan-KJ-Werenski is my favorite Jackets PP lineup of all time. They all read each other so well, and move the puck smartly and patiently. Fun to watch such harmony after years of struggle.

Did she say how smart on the ice Voronkov was? Because that would have been better scouting than anything we got from the scouting outlets out there.

That was last week's price.

I wrote that he is smart, but I don't remember how and I don't want to lie. Because only the blind didn't see it. It showed the Voronkov - Galimov - Safonov line what was depend on Voronkov, and his connection with Radulov before he left. Radu literally depended on Dima. When Sergei Fedotov wrote that stupid thing, I preferred not even to reply, because I could get banned for writing "idiot" on www.sports.ru. I don't understand how the "experts" couldn't see that...

These are typologically suitable players. It's also important that Johnson can lead the play from the right wing and has a quick pass, he doesn't hold the puck.

The Voronkov - Monahan - Marchenko line has perfect chemistry. In terms of quality, they are 2nd line players even in a team like our, but their chemistry is excellent. Voronkov and Marchenko played great together in the Russian junior national team (Voronkov as a center), Monahan complements them perfectly. In Slovakia we use the expression "sitting like an ass on a chamber pot" (excuse me my French ). Btw, Dima and Kirill played excellent with Sillinger too in the last season. A similar centre suits them. Just Monahan is better. Also, if you noticed, Chinakhov doesn't have as good chemistry with Marchenko.

One more important thing, Monahan's and especially Voronkov's play suits left handed Werenski, who is a shooter, not a quarterback. And there's Johnson playing on the right side.
