Traverse City time, 2016

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Any chance that's the fourth line this year?

 

[Old Guy]

Not with all the existing one-way contracts the Jackets have in place currently. Abramov is too small and might never be big enough. Think Tyler Johnson or Martin St.Louis. Only recently did Cam Atkinson find his way.

I don't think there is. Milano and PLD aren't going to be "wasted" on the 4th line. And Abramov isn't near ready. His career trajectory will *hopefully* be like Atkinson or Bjorkstrand.

If PLD is going to be on the 4th line, they should send him back to Cape Breton. If Milano is going to be on the 4th line, he should be back in Cleveland.

What?

What?

Tao, the force that surrounds everything in the universe also known as the way.

I too think there was a change for positive in Atkinson's play when changing from Richards' playbook to Tortorella's.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Milano-Dubois-Abramov has to be the best line in the tournament, right?

 

[Fro]

I don't know other teams' lineups...but has to be in the arguement...should be pretty potent...

 

[Nordique]

look for Werenski to don the mantle of leadership in Traverse City.

 

[Old Guy]

What?

Cam Atkinson was drafted in the 6th round - 157 OA in June of 2008.

In the 13-14 season he played 79 NHL games; his first full season. If you think that 5 seasons from the time of his draft until establishing himself is "taking the league by storm" (my words-not yours), then fine, go ahead and think that. In my opinion 5 full hockey seasons before establishing yourself, for a 5' 8" - 180 lb forward would be considered "recently finding his way", 8 full years after he was drafted.

A applaud Cam Atkinson for making the most of his opportunity. I applaud the CBJ for having patience with him. The vast majority of 6th round guys barely get an NHL cup of coffee. Certainly the CBJ could get way more than a 6th round pick for him now.

My point was that Atkinson was not an overnight success. I hope that Abramov has a similar career trajectory.

 

[The Wheelchair]

Any word on if these games will be available to view on replay? Or will they just be streamed live?

 

[Fro]

IDK how Fox Sports Go app works...they may be available later

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

FS GO is live only. Very frustrating for me, especially in regards to not being able to watch Aussie Rules on demand.

Most Aussie Rules games wind up on YouTube within 24 hours of their conclusion. That's how I watch my Adelaide Crows.

What are you talking about? You said Cam just recently found his way. Meaning, he just started being good. That is not true.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

To the tune of the Platters' "Twilight Time" (for those who don't know the song, the song from the Skyline Chili ad is based on it).

The Jackets are on the ice again, it's Traverse time
Even though it's only the prospects, it's Traverse time
The offseason has now come to an end
The pucksters are back, it's Traverse time

sorry, this has been running through my head since seeing the thread title

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

If you have a connected TV device with the Fox Sports Go app, you can watch on your TV as well.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Already 1-0. Icing two FA invite goalies could be our Achilles' heel this tournament.

Sherwood makes it 1-1.

First to 20 wins.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

What the?

 

[blahblah]

What a highly defensive game so far.. lol

 

[SavesEmNot]

2-1 Detroit.

Yeeeeeee-haaaaaaww!!! Shootout!

"Looks like Detroit will try to add to their lead [on the power play]."

You don't say...

EDIT: Well, that de-escalated quickly.

EDIT 2: Sonny M.!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Dubois with a nice pass to Milano on the PP to tie it up

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

it's always Sonny in Traverse City!

2-2

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Justin Scott scores from the slot to make it 3-2 Jackets. Softie.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Bad turnover by Abramov leads to a 3-1 rush and a Wings goal. 3-3 already. Pretty bad goaltending all around
