IF he stay healthy he COULD be a good one. SO far neither have been true for long periods of time.

It’s on Provorov. The turnover is bad. But Danforth is not off the hook either. What’s “funny” about it is that they put Danforth out there instead of Bemstrom for that last shift with 91 and 96.
At the 6 second mark of this clip, Jiricek is dropping back into the zone to get a D to D pass. Provorov gets baited into going off the boards to Johnson, and the Wild player intercepts it. Because of this Jiricek is not in position. When Jiricek realizes Provorov tuned it over, at the 8/9 second mark he has no good way of controlling the gap of the other Wild player coming into the zone. As a result he gets caught “flat footed” and walked before Tarasov is beat with the shot. Obviously frustrated he pushes the net off at the 15 second mark.
You might guess that they put Danforth out there for the draw. He's a legitimately good defensive player - I don't know if you saw his great backcheck tonight. Though I'd be very comfortable with Bemstrom out there, maybe even including Bemstrom on the draw.
Jiricek for his part continues to backup after the giveaway. He is responsible for that bad gap. If he took a step or two forward before backing up he would have been in the right spot.

Oh I don’t care that Danforth is out there. It’s just funny to me because the whole thing is like Burnt Toast Theory - and the catastrophic event is us winning.

I’ve gone back and forth on that, but IMO if he transitions from backwards skating into forward and takes two strides, that Wild player will have a breakaway because it would force Jiricek to have to pivot again in order to play defense. I don’t think he has that pivoting ability, yet.
Tough loss. Danforth should have scored, or at least not missed the cage.
CBJ are not playing bad. As a fan of Texier, I'm frustrated with the minutes he gets, but so far he has not given good reasons to get more. I even thought he would be a healthy scratch given his level right now.
But there are really a lot of interesting young players, and the 86-4-59 line was impressive yesterday. I am still not fully convinced with 13, but he definitely has talent. I really like 91. And wonder how the return of Jenner, Laine and Werenski will affect the team lines. CBJ are not winning yet, but they've never been so close. Maybe they should do a 29-38-42 line

This is so very frustrating to watch. But you can see so ,much talent out there on the ice. Now, add Brindley and the team becomes really, really interesting.

With a lead late in the third period and knowing we will drop into a prevent is frustrating
We didn't do that last night. We haven't seen as much prevent in the third lately.

Of course, but the Browns have won a number of games with clutch play this year. The CBJ are the antithesis of that.Remember the jets game last season?
If anything, the CBJ are are the CBJ.
Always have been, always will be.

Once this team learns how to play with a lead, they might be pretty good.

You mean to tell me that having a first time head coach at nhl level , and an assistant in McCarthy, who runs your defense that is learning at the NHL level, may result in not the most sound defensive team ? Who would have thunk that ? How Jarmo still collects a paycheck is beyond me
This has always been the clarion call of the CBJ. Shore up this one area and watch us go, but next year it will be something else. There always is.
