GDT: Game 12 | Columbus @ Florida | 7 PM EST

Fantilli needs to be out there lol

A young, creative and fast player in an offensive situation? Nah, gotta protect him from any high pressure situations

 

[majormajor]

I hope the embarrassment of the first 10 minutes prompts some changes in the way the Jackets play defense.

I'm honestly not sure what the issue is. There are several clubs trying out the box plus one or other zone defense variants, trying to emulate Boston and Vegas.

1) Are our players just not capable of it?

2) Have they not been taught properly?

3) Need more time to master it?

4) Are they playing too deep into it? It looks really extreme to me. It looks more passive than a PK.

Totally passive in the last five minutes

What’s the verdict on Gaudreau ? I think he tried, but still nothing to show for

Didn’t really notice him.

Way to passive imo that’s something they should use when they have a two goal lead lol

 

[Napoli]

This team has no idea what it's doing in OT. Part of it is missing Laine but Jenner should be out for the draw and that's it. Go with Fantilli, Chinakhov, Werenski, players with speed and skill. It's not defense, it's who scores first.

[MoeBartoli]

We lost but I ain’t even mad. The effort was there

I probably should feel that way but I don‘t. We fought back and had that game won and then couldn’t hold it - again. I’m pissed right now.

He was. He got tossed out of the circle, then subbed out while the Panthers were setting up in their own end.

But your wife is. LOL

 

[squashmaple]

Just think, we have Damon Severson for eight more years.

 

[NotWendell]

But your wife is. LOL

She's Irish, soooooo....

 

[Napoli]

He was right back out there for the goal against. I realize this team has like 4 skill guys but Fantilli should always be out there to start OT. Fantilli and Gaudreau are the two best forwards for OT

Having Boqvist available instead of Bean could have helped as well.

I don't understand the treatment of Boqvist tbh.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

While I think a lot of the hate thrown his way is misplaced, there is no doubts that the skeptics are right about Werenski on the PP. He has to be taken off PP1, or even the PP altogether. The results speak for themselves

 

[Cheddarcheese]

Tbh I think out 4th like get to many mins. How is Fantilli only getting 14 mins ?

When you don't have the puck it is 100% defense. And when you lose the draw you don't have the puck.

Fantilli was at fault in one of our previous OTLs. OT defensive positioning has to be learned.

If we have the puck though, I'd love to see Fantilli out there. Same with Gaudreau, Marchenko, etc...

I'm in general agreement that we need to get our young talent out there when we have the puck. No need to put Boone back out after we have it.

 

[Napoli]

Yes, it was a general comment that the team needs to go for the win with guys who give you the best chance to score a goal as we seem to concede no matter who is out there.

The 4th line was simply better. Definitely our best line tonight.

Fantilli, Marchenko, and Voronkov had an amazing shift in the third though when they started banging bodies. They need to do that more.

Tonight The 4th line was our best line. They scored, had the best Corsi and Fenwick with stats that matched the eye test.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Respectfully disagree coach

 

[Cheddarcheese]

Respectfully disagree coach

He said what he had to say. Elvis has been good need to keep his confidence high

 

[Fred Glover]

I will admit that I didn’t watch the game but looking at the comments I am somewhat optimistic that they came back to lead but lost in OT
it seems like the team is going through some growing pains
