GDT: Game 76: Columbus @ Anaheim | Happy Easter Edition | 8:30 PM EST

The thing is, he is here for his shot. I agree he does some other things well (not great, but well). But if this is peak Bemstrom, trade him for whatever we can get and open a forward slot for someone else.

I don't think this is peak Bemstrom, and I don't think he's here for the shot either.

I wonder what Milano thinks watching a CBJ player wearing #22 get a couple of goals.

 

[koteka]

If you are playing defense against Troy Terry, the odds are pretty good he is going to shoot the puck through your legs. And it will be a good shot.

 

[NotWendell]

@koteka I think your avatar has PD

The thing about Bemmer is he might be squeezed out due to the numbers game. I like him too and I think he brings value in a bottom 6 role, but does jarmo/Larsen see that?

This is peak Bemstrom? You don’t think he’s going to get better after age 22?

Squeezed out by who?

 

[NotWendell]

This entire shift is on Gavrikov for that turnover

He's a guy that gets a pass a lot around here. He makes more bad mistakes that is evident on these boards.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Sillinger is truly lost

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Squeezed out by who?

Marchenko, Johnson,

(Assuming Texier returns)

 

[Cowumbus]

Sillinger is truly lost

Not to pick on him, but he’s a big part of why his line often gets stuck in the Dzone.

 

[Cowumbus]

Marchenko, Johnson,

(Assuming Texier returns)

Marchenko? The guy who has never played an NHL game is is basically the same age and didn’t finish the year in the KHL?

Johnson is not playing in the bottom6, where Bemstrom has been playing. Texier still scares me with his injury history. I might start calling him injury prone..

 

[NotWendell]

Marchenko, Johnson,

(Assuming Texier returns)

Do you think we'll actually get to see Marchenko given current world events?

 

[NotWendell]

Hmmm. All of our goalies play like crap. What's the common denominator? No, it's not the goalie coach. It's our defense screening the goalie, allowing breakaways and hanging them out to dry by leaving the back door open.

Yes, that guy. The one who wouldn’t be coming over without some NHL assurances( I assume based off his agent responses)

I’m willing to bet KJ is on the third line next year to start the season

Most cross ice high danger passes allowed in the league, pretty hard to stop tap ins.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Yeah. He’s eligible to sign a contract next month I think. CBJ and his agents have all spring and summer to get the visa stuff sorted

 

[NotWendell]

Hope you're right.

 

[NotWendell]

Silly makes amends!

 

[KCbus]

Sillinger.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Thought KJ had his first there

 

[AndBoomGoesTheCannon]

Boqvist embracing the tank

 

[KCbus]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

 

[LJ7]

Weak. I hope Boqvist and Bean don't come back as light and weak as they were this year

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Big loss
