[Halfboard]

One thing I admire about a team like the Hurricanes - constant pucks to the net

They’re well coached……Rod the Bod knows what the hell he’s doing….

 

[CBJ goalie]

Good Cole goal

 

[stevo61]

Nice shot, gotta exploit the only real weakness on Carolina

 

[CBJ goalie]

1 turnover leads to chaos in our end.... Sheesh

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Atrocious goal against by Tarasov and Chinakhov is a turnover machine

 

[stevo61]

Tarasov is so bad. Provorov no better

 

[Fred Glover]

Is Tugnutt available?

 

[MoeBartoli]

 

[CBJWerenski8]

What a shift for Texier and silly

 

[stevo61]

Cole looking like what KJ is supposed to

 

[Fred Glover]

Put Tarasov on waivers
Maybe some team will do us a favor and pick him up

 

[CBJx614]

Granted I haven't seen all of his games, but this might be one of sillys best game. He should have at least 2 or 3 so far.

 

[Cowumbus]

Great shift by Sillinger

 

[CBJ goalie]

Tarasov needs to have that stick down

Cole with a great effort - he's sparking the team, hope they use that energy to start the 3rd

 

[MoeBartoli]

When asked about Tarasov today on Porty’s podcast, Scott Wheeler said he didn’t have him as a starter or legit backup on a good NHL team. He felt he just lets too many goals in that should be saves. Wheeler nailed it.

We absolutely need to improve at that position for next year or it will be more of the same

The question I'm too lazy to look up is what he thought of him 2 years ago during his true prospect phase. It's easy to say this now based on his play now but did he predict it back then.

 

[stevo61]

Tarasov looks like an overweight dog trying to get up off its back. Hes so slow

 

[CBJ goalie]

Lol, we say this and then he makes a series of nice saved, some even miraculous.

I'm willing to give him some more time to season

He wasn’t particularly high on him in 2022 ranking him as ony our 11th best prospect. He’s key assessment was:

When he holds his lines and is set for shots, he’s tough to beat. But the inconsistency of his movements when play breaks down has been an issue at times. I expect he’ll top out as a No. 2 but I know the Blue Jackets like him

He didn’t include him at all this year but because of age I think, though it didn’t sound like he’d have included him. He didn’t include Jet either

 

[stevo61]

Bemstrom who?

 

[MoeBartoli]

Wow! Nylander!

 

[CBJ goalie]

Yeah baby!

probably a legit comparison. I'm not as high on Jet either. Sure he's playing well and has certainly exceeded anyone's expectations but I'm not sure he's anything more than an NHL backup realistically.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

We are getting outplayed, no getting around fhat

But we are playing well enough to stick around. While that’s not where you want to be, it’s a step forward still. I’m encouraged
