GDT: CAR @ CBJ || Game 38 || 4PM

[ColumbusTrill]

That move looked quite familiar

Same with Marchenko's

 

[CBJx614]

KJ what a move! Hopefully this Marchenko we're seeing is what we can expect to see from him from here on out!

All 13 minutes of him

 

[NotWendell]

That was NOT supposed to happen. Streamers bitches!!!

 

[Monstershockey]

Nice win. Great games by Korpi, Johnson, and Marchenko. Kirill has just kept what he had going in Cleveland. The helpers will come when he gets some linemates that can score. Would love to see them keep building on this.

 

[Cowumbus]

I mean he didn’t really look out of place before either

Not saying he did.

I watched him through the KHL, I think the sky is the limit.

 

[ViD]

I like that Larsen switched PP1 and 2 at the end, Laine and Gaudreau might need some extra motivation

 

[EDM]

Very disappointing

 

[Halberdier]

Marchenko, KJ, and Korpi 3 atars

Those were my 3 stars as well.

That assist for the 2nd goal was nasty by KJ.

I am a proponent of putting the young guns in shootouts - I’m done with watching geezers like Nyquist Miss the net or shoot from the boards. The kids have the moves that work.

An example of what a real goalie should look like. I think the Caps game could have been completely different if Korpi was in the net.

Lars is so old school. Seniority counts!

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

In the spirit of your boy @ViD congratulations on your supreme victory fellas. You’ve got something there with Marchenko, I’ve come away impressed in every viewing

 

[ColumbusTrill]

Very disappointing

We're not losing 40 straight games

Lars should do the opposite of what his instincts tell him. He’s be a decent coach.

It's the right move to use the one that's hot when the PP is as bad as it is

 

[VT]

Sillinger's line has been excellent, especially Kirill. It isn't only about hattrick, but he has created chances for him and his partners, take the puck and good battles about the puck.

I think lines are ideal now because Gaudreau and Johnson need a player who can play in the front of net, be good in for checking and similar. Laine must return his conditions, his injuries and COVID still showing on him. I'm not sure whether Johnny played.

 

[NotWendell]

Laine needs to quit handling the puck so much

The first PP Unit has to change the zone transition, players who don't have the puck have to be on the move. And when the puck did get into the zone, it was mostly on the right side, between Gaudreau and Bjork. It must play like the second PP Unit, which always moves.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Lars should do the opposite of what his instincts tell him. He’s be a decent coach.

My interesting takeaway from tonight after looking at the main stat sheet - the more you score the less you play. Marchenko’s hatty was achieved with 13:50 TOI and KJ’s two assists is just 13:30. Only Bemstrom (with one assist) and Meyer had less TOI among forwards. …..Foudy/Olivier/Kuraly played far more 5 on 5 and outshot 11-2.

 

[Cowumbus]

Laine need to quit handling the puck so much

When he gets frustrated he tends to try and play “hero ball” and go coast to coast. That in turn, will lead to more frustration.

Good to see others hating on the Kuraly line too. They get stuck on D-zone for minutes every other shift and yet they play big minutes almost every game.

Overplaying them is among the list of many issues this team has

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Postgame quotes are up on YouTube (Marchenko, Sillinger, Johnson, Larsen):


"Same thing, same play"

Seems like Marchenko is picking up English pretty fast as he goes along, he's improved noticeably since the preseason I think.

Had a feeling it would be a close game after hearing about Larsen conducting an "intense" practice yesterday. Funny how it works like that sometimes..
