I’m not for blowing up the team. While we are the 5th youngest team, the problem ahead is that I’m not sure any of these young guys is a legit top 6 guy except Laine and maybe Tex. (Playing in the top 6 currently doesn’t make one a true top 6er). And on the D side, Werenski is legit, but are any of the others?To the people saying “blow it up”
careful what you wish for. If you think this is painful, blowing it up is doubling down on teams like this. This is the type of team you’ll see if Jones and Werenski plan to leave and get traded.
Also this is like the 5th youngest team in the league. Hard to blow that up
95% focus is 50% performance. That’s how the saying goes.95% attempt == 50% result, as one coach tends to say.
Next one please.
Unless Jesus was the goalie, then he makes the save.Jesus would have made it 10 out of 10 times
Mute point Torts would have benched Jesus for doing his own thing.Unless Jesus was the goalie, then he makes the save.
Might as well try to make it entertaining. This aint itThey suck with open hockey and with "new age" hockey. Not built fully for either. Like a half-assed attempt either way. Fire Torts? We lose. Keep him? We lose. I'd suggest finding a preferred lube brand if you don't want your asshole to look like a diseased artichoke by the end of the season
The point is moot.Mute point Torts would have benched Jesus for doing his own thing.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. If he’s not scoring, then what value does he provide?I like Laine. But he is how he was billed. He’s a stud shooter but nothing more. He doesn’t drive a line, he’s a passenger, but he’s a damn good one.
I agree with everything you said. This is probably the first year I'm really not enjoying watching hockey, I despise watching this team play, it's awful. I can tolerate a shitty team, what I can't tolerate is having no hope things are going to improve.I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it but I cannot overstate how much I hate this team. It’s one thing to suck, which they do, it’s not about that. I’ve supported and liked a lot of CBJ teams that suck in my life. No, it’s about HOW they suck.
Today they didn’t care or give effort. Whatever, it happens sometimes. But they have zero identity and are utterly careless with anything they do. Some players give effort every shift (Robinson, Cam, Bjorkstrand for the most part, Jenner, even though he struggled id say Roslovic is in the group too) and the rest just throw their sticks out there and collect a check. That on top of being incredibly boring to watch. It’s just a team I will forget about very quickly and will likely only remember as being the last team Torts ever coached here.

Roslovic sucked tonight, and the overreactions in here are aggravating, but he was due for a game like this. I hope he continues to take chances.
both goalies hung out to dry and Elvis gets hurt because of it.
But does Espo score on the rebound?Unless Jesus was the goalie, then he makes the save.
Wennberg scores again tonight ... nothing to see here though
I’m not too young.....I rememberBut does Espo score on the rebound?
For those too young to remember it was said of Phil Esposito
JESUS SAVES BUT ESPO SCORES ON THE REBOUND
Torts looks defeated.
I don't agree with Laine's account. Find me a creative player who will be good when the whole match will be forced to chase the puck, because the center loses virtually all face-offs and, importantly, plays poorly without the puck. And he creates chances in every match even today. By the way, do not forget that he is playing with an injury, so his game is far from ideal.I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it but I cannot overstate how much I hate this team.
