Around the NHL

[JetsFan815]

The league has a real problem here. By cancelling the penalty after play had resumed and the period had ended they have admitted the goal shouldn't have counted. If Columbus loses by 1 goal they have legitimate grounds to protest the results

I am pumped for Torts post game presser. He's going to ERUPT if CBJ loses this game.

 

[WolfHouse]

Well, 14 minutes of Columbus hockey is about enough for me for one season...

 

[Runforthecup]

What the f*** just happened in the Columbus game. Goal review determined the play was onside when it was clearly offside. Columbus gets a penalty. Then during the intermission the refs realize it was offside so they remove the penalty even though half of it was already gone but the goal counts still?

I believe goals are reviewed in Toronto. In the past they have automatically ruled against the Jets on challenges. Watching Laine and Roslovic playing for the Jackets they had a brain fart. Were thinking Jets and made their auto ruling.

Yeah, that's pathetic on the part of the on-ice officials (and off-ice, I guess). Just leave the penalty on and eat the f*** up.

The offside challenge is the worst thing to happen to the NHL rules in the last ten years, anyway. I'll never forgive the dumbass who let Duchene score that goal for it. Or Duchene either, for that matter.

Laine looked completely clueless on that goal. Just skating in a circle in the D zone with no attempt to cover anyone.

Yup....This why we have the challenge...



And yeah that was bad. But now with the player being offside by a millimeter AND NOT EVEN INVOLVED in the goal in most cases, it's a joke.


Think about this....

I could enter your zone with one player offside by an inch, and two seconds later the player that was offside ( who never touched the puck ) leaves the ice for a change. My team still has control of the puck in your end and we end up passing it around playing keep-away for 10 minutes, and then we finally score. You could challenge that and have my goal wiped out and 10 minutes put back on the clock.

The goal has been revoked from Carolina and awarded to Auston Matthews.

 

[JetsFan815]

I have watched every minute of it since Laine got there and 70% of it since Roslovic got there. Good to have another team to follow in the east.

Maybe if all the Jets fans were forced to watch Columbus games, we wouldn't complain about the Jets so much because we would be happy we aren't Columbus? Who am I kidding, of course we still would.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

My current sightlines are far worse than any seat I ever sat in in the old barn. f***ing Loge.

That may be but there were a lot of bad sight lines in the old arena.

 

[bustamente]

Another clapper from Laine I don't think CBJ cares if he plays defense

 

[bustamente]

Roslovic is sure enjoying home cooking, he might make Chevy look real bad for only getting a third

 

[WolfHouse]

Okay I watched three more minutes...

Laine is going to get his $10 mill... Roslo looks like one of the few Jackets who's actually trying - same with Seth Jones

Anyone suggesting we trade for David Savard is out of their mind - he's Sbisa level

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Roslovic is sure enjoying home cooking, he might make Chevy look real bad for only getting a third

The 3rd was part of the Laine price. Roslovic was free.

Final 6-5 Car. That goal is the difference.

Edit: Or is it? I have lost track. I think it is gone.

He will put them in the net, what more do they need . His second one was vintage Patrik (I didn't see the first). The team and fan base need it.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

We will see how Jack plays long term, I'd expect him to overachieve for awhile now that he is home. And if its permanent, well we probably weren't going to get that effort here.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Never mind a pt a game, Laine is over a goal a game now with 5 in 4 games. And he has 1 assist.

Roslovic is scoring at a ppg pace. He is 4th in CBJ scoring in less than half the games.

We should have got Werenski as the add instead of a 3rd.

 

[JetsFan815]

For anyone who is is concerned that Laine is going to find another gear or prove that he was misutilized in Winnipeg- rest easy. Another game where we saw the "Winnipeg Laine"- looks great on the man advantage and when he can set up for the one timer. Leaves a lot to be desired at 5 on 5.

His line struggled at 5 on 5 and had almost no o-zone time:

36% Corsi and 21% Expected Goals.

Season to date with Columbus:

37% Corsi and 26% xGoals (worse numbers than what we are ripping Wheeler for). He'll be better than that but so far I see no evidence that the setup here was "holding him back".

In talking to Friedman, Kekalainen was unequivocal that he was unwilling to trade Dubois for Laine straight-up. Let's stop circulating the notion that Roslovic was traded for a 3rd.

Both goals were classic Laine clappers.

He won the Scorsi, not the Corsi then

Laine's line was not even close to CBJ's worst... Koivu and crew are just awful.

I still like watching Laine stick handle so slow and awkwardly through an entire team... that will never get old

Lack of effort was not the problem here. We were getting the effort and the production from the 2015 line.

He needed to play 3C for a year to work his way up to 2C. Lowry had him thoroughly blocked.

Well, not exactly. The best that CBJ can give him is < the sub-optimal setup he was getting here.

What this shows is that he won't get what he wanted from CBJ, because they just don't have it with PLD gone.

His team didn't...

Initially, yes. He came around when he couldn't get a 1C in return. He also made it clear that he wanted Roslovic included in the deal. So he got that. That doesn't make the 3rd an adequate add.

What we can believe though, is that there was at least 1 other offer that Jarmo might have taken if Chevy had demanded any more in return.

It is what it is now, so I just hope that Dubois soon makes us forget all about the price.

I've forgotten about the price already.
