GDT: Welcome Back | TB @ CBJ | 7 PM EST

[CBJWerenski8]

Now we’re buzzing

 

[Halfboard]

dang. Vasi came to play.

He’s an absolute beast. A very large, quick beast.

 

[stevo61]

damn you post. That was actually a beautiful shot by Gudbranson

 

[CBJWerenski8]

once upon a time Sillinger was drafted as a guy with a good shot and goal scoring ability... Hes a very passive individual these days. Half the time he doesnt act like he belongs

Has absolutely no playmaking ability

 

[VABUCK]

Has absolutely no playmaking ability

Who on the Jackets does right now?

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Well no, thats ridiculous. I think hes focused on learning the NHL game now. Id bet the coaches had something to do with reeling him in for now but I dont think it lasts

No, it's not.

Your bet on coaches telling him not to play physical is ridiculous.

 

[stevo61]

No, it's not.

Your bet on coaches telling him not to play physical is ridiculous.

reeling him in because he was taking a large amount of minors is not ridiculous. I dont think writing the book on a player 44 games into their career is the play here

I dont think they told him "not to play physical" but be smarter about it

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Who on the Jackets does right now?

Tonight? Johnny

 

[majormajor]

We can live with that as long as he shoots the puck.

A bad playmaker who tries to be a playmaker, that we can't live with.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Tonight? Johnny

Gaudreau is playing the dynamic type of game that one expects from him. I hope this is a sneak preview of what he deliver the remainder of the season.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

It's bothersome not seeing Voronkov taking part in this. If he won't play a physical game, then he needs to go.

when he signed we were told of this physical force who could drop the gloves.

I will say I definitely underrated his skill level because he can definitely score. But the physical aspect of his game is very underwhelming and not what was promised.

That being said, saying he needs to go is definitely not how I feel.

He'll either play a physical game or he'll be in the KHL sooner rather than later.

It's a conditional "needs to go". I'll stand by that.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Good shit Severson. Glad someone defended the Star

I think he bulked up too much in preperation for the NHL and its costing him. I bet he comes into camp a bit smaller next year. Not many people on the planet can effectively move around 240lbs. Especially someone who was never that size before.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

That was a "fight" by two guys who didn't want to fight. LOL

 

[VABUCK]

BS penalty

 

[stevo61]

atta boy Severson. Not a great team but still playing for each other

 

[KJ Dangler]

That’s where your captain could show some leadership .. good on Severson

You realize he just had a broken jaw right?

The guy who just got back from a broken jaw?

 

[KJ Dangler]

You realize he just had a broken jaw right?

Didn’t say he had to fight .. he did nothing

 

[stevo61]

Vincent is even yelling at the refs, impressive. Some emotion all around.

 

[VABUCK]

Hopefully this will help motivate a good third period.

 

[MAHJ71]

Absolute garbage that CBJ ended up with the extra 2. So tired of the shitty reffing this season.

 

[majormajor]

He's way better than you think he is. If the Jackets let Voronkov go, there'll be 31 teams calling his agent. Yes even this relatively soft version of Voronkov.

FYI he has the highest 5v5 scoring rate on the Jackets. He's also a force whether he's trying to be or not. Immovable object. There are soft 6'5 players that teams still covet, and I don't think he's that soft, just not as hard edge as we want him to be.

Jenner's been showing leadership physically tonight, maybe you should try watching a little closer. He's been bowling bodies out there.
