It looks like Duchene has found his place on Columbus

[3074326]

Like a short term lease condo? He won't be there too much longer.

Got some inside info? CBJ can back up a truck full of money.

sorry its all just right timing. Clutch is not a thing that exists

Not all. You put modern Eberle into the World Juniors scenario with equal skill and competition and he doesn't score. His confidence is shot. You might call it being drafted by the Oilers, you might call it consistently not living up to expectstions.
Either way, the situation at hand and your own mindset affects the scenario a lot. You're confident, you can do that much more.

Same as acting. Same as any other sport. Same as a work presentation. When it gets going, you can be someone who performs better or the same or worse. To varying degrees.

The Jackets look really good but if they advance past Tampa, or not, they’ll pull a Senators move and fall next season; at least they won’t throw away a top pick.

If Duchene signs with Columbus, we have a chance

Clutch 'can be' a thing. But maybe mis-interpreted.


Let me paint a scenario;


Many teams play much more defensive when they are holding a lead.

If you agree with that statement?

Would you agree that some teams that are trailing, will often abandon a few defensive schemes, and maybe cheat a little for offense, and are more willing to trade chances?


Is that a fair statement?



If you can agree with both of those previous statements (which seam like very basic concepts) then this is where perceptions of a players clutchness can occur.



When trailing teams are opening up to trade chances, and cheat for offense... some players like Duchene are capable of capitalizing on the cheating and chance trading more than others.

That is why he was previously called 'unclutch'. He is able to score when the game is out of reach, and is able to pad stats (not saying i agree, but i do know several players this pertains to).

On the flip side:
When a team is defending a lead, some players are more adept at causing chaos and turnovers, and understand how to break up plays down low, and are more reliably able to 'cheat' for offense.

Odds are those types of players will create more scoring opportunities when there is an extra attacker, or contribute to more game tying goals.


I would guess those players are called more 'clutch'.

I have a hierarchy of bets as far as the Blue Jackets are concerned. I bet that if CBJ makes the 2nd round, Dzingel resigns and Duchene may resign. If they make the conference finals, Duchene definitely resigns. If CBJ makes it to the Cup finals, Panarin may resign, as well. If CBJ wins the Cup, Panarin almost certainly will re-sign. I think Bob leaves no matter what, just because I think the FO has a long-term plan at that spot now with Merzlikins.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

He is 10000000% leaving during UFA for whoever will pay him the most.

Don't have a lot of life experience?

what r u talking about

 

[clunk]

I don't know how anyone can look at a guy like Martin Gelinas or Justin Williams and say that clutch "isn't real"

 

[Oliewud]

to me clutch is someone who has ice in their veins. when the stakes are high and the pressure is immense they are not as effected by it like most humans

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Got some inside info? CBJ can back up a truck full of money.

He said it several times that he is not chasing money. His top 2 priorities are 1) Winning and 2) His family.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Let's hope he likes it so much that he signs there this offseason

 

[Iapyi]

what r u talking about

To suggest that clutch does not exist is naive at best.

Duchene did well in Ottawa. Duchene is a good player, just a slow started on a new team.

Duchene keeps playing like this, he will get paid. People can quote him saying it's about winning and money, but until he signs a very team friendly contract with a current contender, or an up and coming one, he's going to take money.

 

[Avs44]

Happy as hell for the guy. He deserves some playoff success.

 

[Viqsi]

He said it several times that he is not chasing money. His top 2 priorities are 1) Winning and 2) His family.

True. Columbus is reckoned as a great town for raising a family (and it's just a few hours drive from any Golden Horseshoe-area relatives), and he's winning with the Jackets. So we feel like we've got a decent chance.

 

[Jackets16]

1 goal and 1 assist tonight. He now has 3 goals, 4 assists, and 7 points in 4 games during the playoffs.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Duchene has been awesome since he got out of Colorado

 

[SensFactor]

Yes please sign him! Ottawa gets another first rounder from Columbus if he does

Two firsts for Duchene is better than one.

If you don't believe in clutch watch Nathan MacKinnon.

Defines clutchness. Says Clutchess is not a thing.

 

[me2]

I tossed a coin 8 times, I wanted heads, 5 tails and 3 heads.... Then I said to the coin, do or die, it came up with 2 heads.

Is my coin clutch?

 

[PAZ]

Duchene is a great player, and he stepped up in his brief playoff experience even when he was injured.

If he stays, he'll still be streaky for Columbus though and I don't expect him to be a PPG player in the regular season, 60-70 points is my guess. When he's on his game, dude is elite and why an offensive system like Ottawa was such a boon to his game.

You cappin bruh

Clutch is simply who doesn't get phased under the immense pressure of key situations. The ones that can handle stress and thrive in it
