AROUND THE LEAGUE:

NOVEMBER SCHEDULE:

​

QUOTES TO NOTE:​

Early on, I was forcing things and trying to play outside of my game and make things happen.
Because maybe my game wasn’t going as well as I would have liked.
- Kevin Shattenkirk​

I feel like these last two games, we have had more structure.
It’s easier to read situations when we’re in the right place. So it definitely helps.

- Henrik Lundqvist​

​

These could have been two of the stronger games Miller has played so far this year.
We need him to be a force. He’s got tons of potential and he’s a veteran player.
We need him to play like a true veteran and a true leader on this team.
- Alain Vigneault​

[offdacrossbar]

hi ho 4 in a row

 

[Bob Richards]

Win and we are less dumb than we were only yesterday!

4 in a row is a real nice point shock.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Win this one.

 

[nyr2k2]

LGR. Let's get it back to .500 and consider it a new start to the season.

 

[Leonardo87]

Going to be a tough one, but play like they did against Tampa, think they have a good shot here.

 

[Ori]

I predict a 5 games losing streak in the next 6 games, but we will see though. A rough schedule vs good hockey teams.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Rick Nash 1000th game ceremony tonight.. I expect to be down going into the first intermission

 

[Irishguy42]

Atkinson not in tonight, so we might do well for once.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If they win tonight they may have truly turned a corner.

That said Im with Ori, this team can't be trust and I wouldn't be at all surprised if they dropped 4 straight from here on out.

 

[Lion Hound]

Real tough test for this club tonight, however I actually think equal pressure is on the Jackets to come out with the W.

Can Hank steal us a game tonight?

 

[Ghost of jas]

Someone help me here...I read AV’s quote about Miller. Then I look through the team leaders and Miller is tied for the lead in points and killing it on faceoffs. Then I see the lineup and Miller is on the 3rd line with Vesey and Desharnais. I’m sensing a disconnect between AV’s words and actions.

 

[eKardz]

do we know that smith is scratched already or is that speculation?

 

[Leonardo87]

Someone help me here...I read AV’s quote about Miller. Then I look through the team leaders and Miller is tied for the lead in points and killing it on faceoffs. Then I see the lineup and Miller is on the 3rd line with Vesey and Desharnais. I’m sensing a disconnect between AV’s words and actions.

JT Miller is like the red-headed step child of AV.

 

[will1066]

Streak against ex-Rangers continues.

Been saying all along that Miller is being wasted on the third line.

 

[Kovalev27]

MIller is being completely wasted there. Put Nash in that spot. Guy can’t score killing the second line.

Miller Hayes Zucc go

Let Nash hold the puck while playing with DD and Vesey

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Columbus Lineup
Panarin-Foligno-Anderson
Jenner-Dubinsky-Bjorkstrand
Motte-Wennberg-Hannikainen
Milano-Dubois-Dalpe

Werenski-Jones
Johnson-Savard
Murray-Nutivaara

Bobrovsky
Korpisalo

Inactive
Carlsson, Harrington

Injured
Atkinson, Calvert, Sedlak

Dangerous, deep, well coached team. LGR!

 

[haveandare]

Since when is Foligno a center? Could have sworn he was a winger

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

MIller is being completely wasted there. Put Nash in that spot. Guy can’t score killing the second line.

Miller Hayes Zucc go

Let Nash hold the puck while playing with DD and Vesey

I don’t have the time or inclination for good coaching decisions

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Shattenkirk needs to cut it down with the Penalties, other than that a PPG defenseman is exactly what the doctor ordered for our squad.
I would like to see Staal-Smith as our 3rd shutdown pairing, and I think compared to Girardi, Kampfer is actually a better fit for our club, we need Deangelo or Pionk instead of Kampfer though.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

I think Zuccarello-Chytil-Buchnevich would be a beast of a line with
Kreider-Miller-Nasher as our top 6. But I love KZB so wouldn't wanna break them up just yet.

 

[Holocene]

I'm here for the Zib line, Kevin Shattenkirk and JT Miller show.

 

[cbjgirl]

Since when is Foligno a center? Could have sworn he was a winger

He's been playing center all season. My understanding is that he played center in junior.

 

[OrbitalDynamics]

Smartest man in hockey has scratched Smith again in favor of Kampfer.Brilliant.
Gorton must love seeing the $4.35 million dollar FA signing scratched everyday in favor of the dryer lint he got back for McIlrath.

 

[will1066]

AV is here to coach and chew bubble gum. And he's all out of bubble gum.
