GDT: Game 8 | Islanders @ Blue Jackets | 7 PM EST

[aRussian]

We just don't seem to be able to hold pressure in the zone. It's all or nothing on the rush for us

 

[Finner]

3rd L in a row coming. All against predicted non playoff teams

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Who knew semyon Varlamov was winning the vezina this year

 

[ViD]

Roslovic again looking like the best forward, just can’t finish

 

[Napoli]

Lol Sillinger

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Sillinger also just can't finish. He's had some good plays but remains snakebitten so hard.

 

[ViD]

Martin lost his balance, awkwardly fell into the net and made the save while falling

 

[Napoli]

Sillinger also just can't finish. He's had some good plays but remains snakebitten so hard.

Dude cant even stay on his skates.

 

[ViD]

Also, Texier is 0 points in 7 games and -4.

I understand the effort, but if you bench Marchenko for not producing, it’s time to ask Tex the same question

 

[Finner]

Second time scoring 0 goals at home and 3rd L in a row. Horrible start not SJ horrible but horrible

Different year same shit. Pathetic

 

[ViD]

Martin on Martin

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I swear Matt Martin scores 2 goals a year and they’re always on us

 

[Napoli]

Dumb play

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

0-2 NYI, Martin makes a crucial mistake and passes straight to a NYI Martin who circles a bit, shoots, and somebody banks in the rebound. Game over with our scoring ability in this game.

 

[Seedtype]

Crap Martin you were doing so good...

 

[ViD]

Is this game as bad as the Red Wings game ?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Is this game as bad as the Red Wings game ?

Absolutely not. This game was fairly solid.

 

[aRussian]

We're losing both by our own mistakes and our own ineptitude. Just not a well put together team; not sure why this lineup is expected to score off the rush. Can barely keep any control of the puck.

 

[stevo61]

Is this game as bad as the Red Wings game ?

Not even close. Atleast they created chances tonight

 

[SteelCityCannon]

Also, Texier is 0 points in 7 games and -4.

I understand the effort, but if you bench Marchenko for not producing, it’s time to ask Tex the same question

I don’t hate him as a player but I’m with you here. I’ll never understand the obsession our fan base has with him. He plays hard but I’d rather have Marchenko and KJ in the lineup.

 

[I3LI3]

Next game Marchenko gotta be back, Sillinger to sit

Sillinger has been God awful this game. so hard to watch when he has the puck on his stick.

 

[We Want Ten]

Needing that 1 goal to tie it up felt insurmountable. 2 is like achieving cold fusion.

 

[Napoli]

I understand Vincent is going with lines that look good, but they arent scoring. Sillinger needs to get out of the NHL (wont happen). KJ needs to be given center role and Marchenko needs to play. There's no sustained offense with players who can't skate.

 

[MFRONE]

6 of 9 at home to start the season and the Jackets will find themselves in last place in the Metro by the time November rolls around.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Also, Texier is 0 points in 7 games and -4.

Scoresheet monitoring without watching impact on the ice.

You can’t convince me that Texier isn’t one of the top 10 players on the team so far this year.

He’s never been a point producer and never will. Does he need to give more? Yeah. But he’s done amazing things on the forecheck and has set up many chances. Eventually they will go in.

I’m more upset that olivier and Voronkov stay in over marchenko.
