Nylander with second star of the night on two goals and an assist. Tarasov well-deserved first star with 39 saves.
I'm sure they will. They claimed that they believed in him when they acquired him and so far Nylander is proving them right.At this point you have to give Nylander a QO. Also at this point can we say Tarasov has arrived?
Yes on Nylander….TBD on Tarasov but one has to like his game recentlyAt this point you have to give Nylander a QO. Also at this point can we say Tarasov has arrived?
Id be hesitant to say that but hes looked good. I just hope he can build up his speed and explosiveness next yearAt this point you have to give Nylander a QO. Also at this point can we say Tarasov has arrived?
3 is more than the 0 Nylander would have had. Bemstrom sounds like the same player he was here, responsible but unexcitingNylander : 11 - 8 - 3 - 11
Bemström: 12 - 1 - 2 - 3

Vincent gave Nylander a chance to play, Pens didn't. It is a big difference.3 is more than the 0 Nylander would have had. Bemstrom sounds like the same player he was here, responsible but unexciting
Yeah which leads to exactly what I said. I dont think Sullivan trusted Nylander on the ice and honestly until now hes been pretty bad. Looks like a guy who figured out this could be one of his last good chances to be an NHLer and that his name/draft position mean nothingVincent gave Nylander a chance to play, Pens didn't. It is a big difference.

Nylander pretty much leads the team in everything since he was acquired.At this point you have to give Nylander a QO. Also at this point can we say Tarasov has arrived?
Johnny has been putting up points. But it probably says the longterm guys are pretty much ready for the season to be over while Nylander is trying to prove he can be an everyday NHLerNylander pretty much leads the team in everything since he was acquired.
What does that say about the players we already had? Granted he'll eventually cool off but he's doing something right the others who have been here a while are not.
Outside of a few players like Johnny, Boone, Gudbranson and Zach, I'd like to think all of them should still be trying to prove they are NHL'ers since they have zero sustained track record to back them.Johnny has been putting up points.

Ill nitpick and say Ive liked Severson a fair amount lately.Outside of a few players like Johnny, Boone, Gudbranson and Zach, I'd like to think all of them should still be trying to prove they are NHL'ers since they have zero sustained track record to back them.
Vincent was right. Russian line had no shape, but instead of playing more simply, they tried to combine too much. As result- lot of puck losses. He didn't hinder their play before, quite the opposite.Ill nitpick and say Ive liked Severson a fair amount lately.
Marchenko is the strangest case. Ever since super coach Vincent had his stupid quote to the media his game looks mostly uninspired. Definitely doesnt look to be having fun right now
Yeah. I certainly didn't list everybody but I think Severson is adjusting to the team fine and has a role here when they get better. Marchenko has disappeared. maybe part of it is the sickness and part of it was the scratch but now that they've split up the Russian line again and Chinakov is hurt he seems lost with whoever he is playing with. I don't even know who he's paired with right now.Ill nitpick and say Ive liked Severson a fair amount lately.

The Russian line played well mainly because of their chemistry. But I liked Voronkov - Sillinger - Marchenko as well. Maybe Vincent could renew it and move Texier to center to TFW and Pyyhtiä.Yeah.

Not for lack of effortI was at the Crew game. Am I to understand that the Jackets had a third period lead and DIDN'T screw it up?
I feel like this is one of the first real good looks he’s gotten in a long time. He had 26 points in like 71 games early in his career with Chicago and then I think he got injured and fell out of favour over there. He also didn’t really get much of a chance in Pittsburgh imo. Could have found a gem here. Lots of people saying he’s playing with no pressure at this point in the season but I’d say he’s playing with lots of pressure. Could’ve been the last look he was going to get. He’s playing like it was anyways. Great to seeI'm sure they will. They claimed that they believed in him when they acquired him and so far Nylander is proving them right.

JD was able to acquire a 60 goal scorer (current pace with CBJ) for a spare part.Nylander: 11 - 8 - 3 - 11 (of course, too high %SH but really good play)
Bemström: 12 - 1 - 2 - 3
