Interesting what Laine said after the game as he’s often pretty blunt and to the point. He described the Jackets as playing “scared”, certainly not good even when tanking.

Anyone have any word on the Elvis illness? Like, if it's communicable...why was he back on the bench?

Could do wonders for the tank, potentially. :sarcasm:

Maybe they were scared to catch what Elvis got.

Players and coaches don’t intentionally lose/tank. Management of teams I think sometimes do. (And even then, it’s usually indirectly, from more of a standpoint of “we’re going to be sellers/focused on developing/want to give young guys a shot” and not “we want to put the worst lineup on the ice possible”.)

I think this is the one, he had a few though so who knows?

Thanks. That was sick.

I also believe this to be the case. Which means last night is scary, if we plan on keeping Larsen. That's the second 4 goal lead they've blown in a 6 game stretch, and I'm pretty sure those aren't the only two 4 goal leads they've squandered under Larsen.

I would guess they haven't had too many chances
