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

[Cowumbus]

The Provorov read on the second goal to take the player in the neutral zone was terrible.

 

[KJ Dangler]

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.

Watched him plenty close .. he’s throws some hits.. and when JG is getting ragged dolled he does nothing and skates away .

Severson's read seconds before was just as bad as he also accomplished nothing positive. I know he atleast had Provorov behind him but seemed like a late jump

 

[NotWendell]

I’m going to be in the minority here, I guess. I actually think we’re playing pretty well and could win this. Crazy, I know!

No. I appreciate his skill set although I'm not going to get excited about scoring rates based on 25 points.

It's just frustrating to see a player who should be a physical force play as passively as he does.

I think most of us see the positives tonight. It can feel like a minority but it's not.

I think that we're playing very well. Nothing to show for it offensively, but not the best puck luck so far.

Could it be a reverse CBJ 3rd period? Stay tuned.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

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.

I don't think he weighs anything close to that right now. I think when he started the season in Cleveland they wanted him to trim down. I wouldn't be surprised if he's closer to 220 by now.

 

[VABUCK]

The Blue Jackets are cursed.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I haven't really been paying attention tonight since I've been doing some things around the house. Wha happened to him?

 

[KJ Dangler]

And Give me a break on Voronkov

No. I appreciate his skill set although I'm not going to get excited about scoring rates based on 25 points.

It's just frustrating to see a player who should be a physical force play as passively as he does.

i think most of that is coming to a foreign land , not understanding a word most if the team says , and being a rookie . He will get more confident and his nasty side will come out

 

[stevo61]

Well I believe he was 250 when he got here. Id be curious to know what he actually is now. He still looks massive next to basically anyone

 

[VABUCK]

Stick to the face.

 

[Halfboard]

Stick to the face.

Now he knows how the shark felt…..

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I know it’s Stamkos but you probably should get that one

 

[VABUCK]

So much for a good third period.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

If anyone wants a better game tonight, the Devils are playing the Whalers.

There’s a good one In Ottawa also….

 

[stevo61]

Texier always gets under Kucherov's skin

 

[MoeBartoli]

……hoping for a great 3rd period push by the Jackets but so disappointed. I feel like the guy hungry for a big steak dinner only to find he’s at a vegetarian restaurant.

 

[CharlotteJacket]

When was the last time the Jackets had someone who knew how and could win a fight? Foligno? Anderson?

Gudbranson?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

That’ll be a game or two for Provorov

 

[Halfboard]

That’ll be a game or two for Provorov

Yep

Wow, that surprises me….
