GDT: CBJ vs Minnesota: 90s Throwback Night

[CBJWerenski8]

First impressions. Had a chance to show he was a team player and help the organization and was a no show. Werenski had the same option and chose to help out. Big difference in character.

Yeah I’m not saying it was a good move by Elvis or anything like that, but I don’t think he was looking to go from Lugano to supplanting Bob/Korpi which is what I felt was being implied. I just don’t think he wanted to play in the AHL.

I don't understand the Elvis sickness thing. If he legit has such an ongoing sickness, he should be put back on IR and get it addressed

I think the organization is covering something up.


He still had his jaw wired from his video where he was told he mad the all star game. I think another 2 weeks is 6 weeks since the injury.

I hate to even speculate but I can’t help but think he’s got something chronic. Kinda building a track record of leaving games ill.

I looked at it is it was a good chance for him to showcase his talent, and show he was about playing to win. He was going to the playoffs, and honestly, if he had done well there, it may have expedited his chance at starting off as the No.1. It wasn't like he was going to the AHL because he was being sent down.

 

[MoeBartoli]

So far the DMen are having even more difficulty than usual with their passes.

 

[majormajor]

We need breakout options to push the opposing D back. We're so low that the opposing D is confident to pinch on every breakout attempt, taking away any options. Failed breakout after failed breakout after failed breakout.

I havent been watching yet but this is not an uncommon theme. Nice to neuter 2 players on our top line who love to play with speed. What ever happened to that brief period of time Johnny was flying the zone and getting a breakaway a game or atleast making the D respect that option

 

[aRussian]

Good pass off the wall to get that

 

[MoeBartoli]

Great pass by Bean to Sillinger

 

[stevo61]

nice play by the 2 defensemen there

 

[Jaxs]

Bean and Sillinger thumbs up.

 

[Cowumbus]

Adam Boqvist makes our PP look so much better.

 

[aRussian]

Well, that’s decent enough movement and shots

 

[MoeBartoli]

Boqvist did a nice job stepping in to PP1

 

[Cowumbus]

Nice to see Sillinger getting rewarded. He’s been a good soldier this year.

 

[Napoli]

I don't know how our coach looks at Boqvist on the PP and doesn't make him the full time PPQB

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

That might be the fastest power play goal I've ever seen scored.

Absolutely crisp faceoff win by them; usually muddled in some way but not that one

 

[Cowumbus]

Lol at HF boards having Faber as the 41st ranked prospect. That kid is nasty.

 

[LJ7]

It's the NHL so everyone was elite growing up but Roslovic plays like he would have been the sickest youth hockey player.

Out skate everyone and score

 

[NotWendell]

No I don’t. Please refresh my memory? The only thing I remember him doing was refusing to play for Cleveland when he first got over here during the CBJ-TB/BOS series’.

The next year Korpisalo “won” the Job to start game 1, and then Elvis struggled out of the gate for a while and considered going back to Latvia and was really hard on himself. Then Korpisalo got hurt and Elvis got hot. Then Covid happened.

Am I missing something?

I’m getting the popcorn ready. This should be fun!

 

[aRussian]

My feed has Wes Walz as their guy; still hate him for the pants goal. Some BS. It’s a grudge I’ve chosen to hold onto

 

[Halfboard]

I’ll absolutely never forget that….
