GDT: Game 19 | Canadiens @ Blue Jackets | 11/23 7 PM | Reverse Retro Night

[CBJ goalie]

Have to capitalize on this opportunity - CBJ have had a couple days off, playing at home, wearing new threads....and Montreal just played last night and received a beatdown.

Don't f*** this up!

Moderator: And they will most certainly would f*** this up.

Yep, they sure did.

 

[KJ Dangler]

I see the issue with Johnsons minutes, whats the issue with Kuraly and Robinson?

Neither should remotely be played more than KJ when you’re trailing in a game . Nyquist shouldn’t be playing 20min either

 

[tunnelvision]

Maybe 1-0?

Hey you got to witness an Olivier goal in person!

Kj 12min playing time tonight . Kuraly 15:54 , Robinson over 16 ..

At least he isn't losing confidence.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Not to crap on Oliver .. he had a nice goal… Kj played 25 seconds more than Oliver

 

[VT]

It's impossible to watch. Fix-Wolanski that destroys the line, plays almost to the end, Gaudreau sees only himself pretty, Bemstrom is zero. Only Gudbranson could play with the puck from defensemen, but Bjork was playing on PP in that time.

What does Meyer have to do to be called?

If I see some players in the lineup against Isles, I'd rather go sleep. I'm not going to spoil my night.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Give Gaudreau an offensive player to work with ffs.
Roslovic does nothing all game and he's the extra attacker? Right on

There’s several candidates for most disappointing CBJ player in the first quarter of the season, but Ros is the winner…..Have to ask all those who said we need to give Bemstrom a chance (which was a fair point), how many games should he get? Same question for Foudy.

 

[majormajor]

I didn't enjoy that game very much.

If we're just going to stink, can Lars put KJ and Gaudreau on the same line and I'll just fast forward through the other shifts?

 

[VT]

My lines against Isles:

Gaudreau --.Jenner -- table
Nyquist -- Johnson -- table/Chinakhov
Robinson -- Kuraly -- Olivier
Foudy -- table -- Meyer

I know after some time my emotions weren't so big but now... .

EDIT: I don't know how Luoto and Marchenko are ready.

 

[MAHJ71]

The best and most fun aspect of this game is the early 2000s music. Absolute bangers being played by the DJ tonight

Had the same thought.. miles better than what Mr DJ usually plays

Johnny’s got that give me the puck and GTFOOMW attitude right now….and I like it!

Almost another wraparound too... fun to watch... so damn happy he's signed long term.

A turkey served a day early

And not the kind you want leftovers from either

 

[I3LI3]

this was a weird game to me.
I couldn’t get into it at all, which is surprising.
felt very blah to me.
anyways.

I spent the first 2 periods wondering if it was a well played game or if both teams were really bad.

The 3rd period answered that question.

And Sillinger is a close second.

 

[I3LI3]

cole sillinger was on the ice for 9 minutes tonight and was on the ice for ZERO shots for. not a single shot on goal when he was on the ice.

sigh.

The thing is we aren’t putting them in positions to succeed. Bemstrom is not a guy you want transitioning the puck, so why put him with Foudy and Sillinger? Who’s going to get the puck up the ice, and who’s going to win board battles?

I’m no order
Nyquist-Jenner-Bemstrom
Johnson-Sillinger-Gaudreau
Robinson-Kuraly-Olivier
Foudy-Roslovic-Meyer

It’s not about points, but Bemstrom has 1 less point than Sillinger, and played less than half the games. He needs confidence, NOT to be stapled to the bench in the third period like Lars likes to do.

If we need a goal late in games, please stop playing the “4th” line. This isn’t rocket science.

I liked the old videos from 2003. That crap was so bad, it was good.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

So did no players/Larsen talk tonight? Trying to find post game tweets to post but literally none of the reporters are saying anything, which is abnormal and weird.

EDIT: nevermind. Larsen did speak

I'm not surprised. The 4th line was probably the best in attack.
Your lines would be good if we play without Chinakhov. And the problem would be here. Either Johnson between Chinakhov and Gaudreau or Johnson to Roslovic and Foudy. It's still one possibility, Johnson between Foudy and Meyer to get used to play center. Of course little minutes in 5:5. Roslovic - healthy scratch. Of course Sillinger could be too but Cole is a real center so he would play on that position many time. Also it's his the 2nd season.

 

[I3LI3]

last in capacity percentage. not surprising

 

[Halberdier]

At least goaltending is much better than on early season. Both goals against were deflections from 1-2 meter range, so impossible to catch.

I agree that KJ should play with Johnny. Maybe as a C, even though Jenner has done a good job.

 

[LJ7]

I missed the game, the uniforms looked really good at least



This hits hard, it's crazy that this is what prompts nostalgia for me
