Shaw is too quiet for HC and his PK and defensive scheme this year...... unless it was Torts who was running it later in the season.

Brooks has a weird thing for Torts, he probably never wrote about Columbus until Torts showed up. That said I wonder if management shares some of the concerns some of us fans do like getting the most out of a team talent wise offensively. But at the same time i wonder how they view Shaw because as far as i know hes only worked with defensemen so far or am I wrong?. Would be really nice to still have Bednar as an option though

Stupid Roy, right? He suck too btw!

Shaw hasn't done a full season as a head coach since he was 40 years old. He's now 54.

The word I've gotten about him ( from a former Cincinnati mighty ducks employee) is that Shaw is a decent x and o type but isn't much of a motivator.

in a case like that it would be nice to have the luxury a team like NY had where Lindy Ruff was an assistant. Will be interesting to see the coaching staff moves in the next year or so

Tbh I’m really hoping we let Larsen walk and Torts brings in his old buddy Glen Gulutzan to replace BL.

He would be in charge of stick throwing?

PLD with a goal and assist for Canada in a WC warmup match

 

[stevo61]

didnt watch the game but not too surprised that line is clicking early. Dubois-Horvat-Pageau has gotta be a bitch to play against. Capable of defending the other teams best line and then skate up the ice with a lot of speed and score on them

3 goals were on that line. PLD looked great. 2 nice assists, 1 was a goal another was a great save. So was Murray, who was paired with Eckblad(who had a turnover in DZ but Murr saved his ass.). And Parayko is a monster, but even him can't save Nurse.

Murray has been a babysitter most of his career. Probably runs the most expensive daycare in the world. Should be a good pair as they figure each other out though

Oh look his injury wasn't over dramatized.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

One thing I think that Torts was getting wrong was about Zach. Remember when it came out that Jones had a closed door meeting with Torts and told him to ease up on Zach? I am sure Jones knew how hard it was to play through it and Torts seems to have pushed a little too hard on an injured player.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

He'll probably be in a sling for awhile. That's a bummer

 

[EspenK]

Albeit early in the season, the Jackets went 2-0 vs Winnipeg.

Yup and the first win at Winnipeg was a whopping IIRC.

[Double-Shift Lasse]

This will be something to watch. Too bad if so but good for him if he's ready or doesn't think he'll get to feeling right again.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Uhh.welp

Athletic article from Portzline on Nash today. Very good stuff. Here are some key quotes:

“I miss it; I love the game,” Nash said. “The game has been my whole life, so it’s been a hard adjustment to not show up for training camp, for fitness testing … it’s been really tough."

"“I’m in a good place. I’m in the city that I love. I have my kids, they’re healthy, and that’s No. 1 in my life. Sure I miss it, but I’m more worried about my healthy and getting back to 100 percent. You can’t put a price on that.”

Nash, who spent nine seasons with the Blue Jackets, the final four as captain, didn’t want to discuss the meeting with Davidson and Kekalainen in great detail.

“I’ll say this,” he said, “it couldn’t have gone better.”

So basically, the conversation was something like, "Get healthy Rick. Take as much time as you need. If you get healthy, there will be a spot for you for the playoff push."

At least thats how I interpreted it. If he plays, I don't think he's trying to go anywhere else.

I find it fascinating that somebody can tweet "per source" and get a whole bunch of people to react to it.

If I tweeted some thing like that, I wonder if people would react? I'm guessing no....because I have 8 followers.....6 of them are Russian Bots.

In all fairness, the guy I quoted was a guy who writes for Barstool sports in Boston. I didn't know who he was (I don't follow him) but it popped up on my TL and it seemed like it could have legs, so I posted it. My apologies.

You should check out their podcast, Spittin' Chiclets. Its pretty awesome. Paul Bissonnette, Ryan Whitney, and that Rear Admiral dude just talking hockey. Obviously you have to be a fan of Barstool and some vulgarity. It's no CBJ in 30, or Portzline podcast. haha
