From Corey pronman

10 points for Werenski-CBJ tied for most by a U19 player in AHL playoffs forward or d. Eldred Kobussen did same in 1939 per @eliteprospects.

Dude never played in the NHL, so I wouldn't get all that amped about Werenski's future.


yeah it's sarcasm, I thought it was obvious

Pretty impressive.

I would, but it has nothing to do with that stat. Werenski is a STUD!!!!

BTW, if you have read this board before, you know sarcasm is never obvious with some of the posts that have been made here before.

 

[niflheim]

In Zach We trust! Go young Jackets!

 

[Xoggz22]

Jackets look to be developing some studs... Future definitely bright.

 

[EspenK]

Man, they were just one more game from being mentally ready to be Blue Jackets.

 

[Dr. Fire]

What is it about hockey fans in Michigan flipping off our players when they score?

I am glad they won it last night. This way Monsters fans in Cleveland won't be pissed about not being able to make it to the Nat for game 7. As far as I am concerned, it would have been fun, but I won't lose any sleep over no game here.

 

[Viqsi]

Series over

Quite correct. This series is over.

-- Rough night for Lake Erie forward Kerby Rychel, who not only lost a fight at 5:51 of the second period but was ejected for a uniform violation. First, to the fight. Rychel and Grand Rapids' Mitch Callahan came out of a faceoff with their gloves flying, but that wasn't all. Rychel loosed his sweater, ripped off his elbow pads and made the first move. Callahan felled Rychel with a heavy right early in the fight, as Rychel leaned right into it and dropped to the ice, his knees buckled. Rychel was wobbly getting to his feet, but made his way to the penalty box. He didn't stay there long. Citing AHL rule 46.13, Rychel was given a game misconduct. The rule reads: "A player who engages in fisticuffs and whose elbow pad(s) are removed other than through the actions of his opponent in the altercation or through the actions of the Linesman, shall be assessed a game misconduct penalty."

What in the **** is Rychel doing this in a game 6 for?



At 1:40. What a meathead.

My guess, they were down 3-1, and with the momentum the Griffins had the past 2 games, he was trying to wake up his team mates . In retrospect, we did score the next 2 goals to tie the game , before Werenski scored game winner in Ot.

I'm not one of those guys who laments the demise of fighting in the league, but I don't agree with this at all - I give Rychel full props. For a guy whose dedication to this playoff run has been questioned, watching him drop his gloves like that shows his team that he was going to do whatever it took to change momentum.

Not the greatest fight outcome, but by all accounts, the Monsters played a lot better after the fight than before. It may not have been direct cause and effect, but the results suggest it caused a spark.

This just in Werenski is good at hockey

 

[SavesEmNot]

So this is what a playoff run feels like.

 

[Dexter20]

Worried a little bit about the time change. Hope the boys get out to LA asap to get acclimated with Pacific Time....could be large factor playing at 11pm Eastern Standard

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

A little disappointed not to be making the trip down to Nationwide, but glad the series is over and the Monsters are moving on.

 

[Dr. Fire]

I honestly think Werenski makes the CBJ out of camp next season.

 

[CoachWithNoTeam]

I honestly think Werenski makes the CBJ out of camp next season.

I am almost expecting it at this point. Let's see how he sustains it through the remainder of the playoffs, but as long as he is figuring out the different defensive scheme, you cant argue against the production. It may be a good thing for him to spend a lot of games producing against pros at this rate though. But we will almost certainly see him in Columbus at some point next season. It may not happen out of the gate, but I could see him spending October and maybe November in the AHL until he makes it clear as day that he doesn't belong there. He's SO young. It will be interesting to see what he is capable of when he is playing with people his own age again (outside of the World Juniors, he's been the youngest player around for a while).

That seems to be a popular thought. I've read it on the Hockey writers site, Hockey news, & Porty. The kid is a beast.

He is thriving against men, many of whom are a step away from the NHL.

If we had a rock solid defense I would agree he may have a tough time cracking the line-up. But the reality is other then 3-4 guys, our defense sucks. He has a hell of a shot to be on the team out of camp.

The fighting, I can buy. But throwing off your elbow pads, no. Not something you want one of your better players doing in the 3rd period of a playoff game.

That used to be a common thing that happens before fights, just like when people used to take off their helmets. Rychel probably had no idea about the rule, I know I didn't.

First I heard of the rule as well.

You don't have to think about it, Werenski WILL be on the roster from day one next season.
