Elvis is our best player, who predicted that?

I'm not surprised but I bet I can name a poster or 2 who is.

Real Time Hockey Win Probabilities In Game

Not gonna lie, that is stunning to me. That's not what I thought I just watched.

 

[Viqsi]

We're now at three opposition panic threads on the mains out of our last four wins. (Only the Habs kept their cool.)

I understand Boone and the 4th line, FO and playing in the DZ.

Fix the PP and the shock of losing to CBJ will spread all over

 

[GoJackets1]

Didn’t watch. Can someone explain what the hell was up with the ice time spread? Danforth 20 minutes? Voronkov 9??

We were on the PK for a very long time. Danforth had about 5 minutes on the PK.

Voronkov should play more, this was his first game at center so maybe the coach is going to start trusting him more.

We didn’t beat the Habs.

 

[Viqsi]

We didn’t beat the Habs.

IN MY HEADCANON WE DID

We didn’t even nearly beat them, either. It was a whimper of a game. Carolina, though? If we didn’t piss that one away at the last minute, 100% they make a panic thread, too.

 

[Aaaarrgghh]

How did Johnson look?

 

[majormajor]

How did Johnson look?

I thought he had better jump and had some nice stick lifts. But he didn't do much with the puck, that line didn't have many chances, didn't do well. First game, whatever.

Don't forget Fantilli's line, which is improving, and not just because of Danforth moving.

We have a tough schedule ahead of us. If we don't accelerate pace, we can lose games unnecessarily.

Vincent said he wasn't happy with their ice-tine and that he wanted to give them more in the 3rd period. O.K. so but why did Jenner's line play so much at 5 on 5?

 

[jonu]

Watching highlights, I'm not sure how the first goal is solely on Laine, there is no need for Werenski to be sitting on Laine's ass as a D there.

I’d just like to say, whether in regards to an individual player, or the team overall as a whole, it’s always been both fascinating and ridiculous to me how so many people make such broad evaluations and concrete statements, both good and bad, after such a small sample size.

 

[Jovavic]

You’re correct.

He gave Brady a nudge in the back along the boards, in front of the Sens bench

I love that they're probably chirping him and he has no idea what they're saying lol

"Opinions for me, not for thee"

Never change, man

 

[Cheddarcheese]

I’ve be a big Elvis guy for the record

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Makes me sad to see Calvert there……man I miss that guy

Perusing the thread now next morning and that struck me on the video too. Man I miss Matty Calvert.

When I started following the CBJ, guys like Calvert, Dorsett, MacKenzie, Foligno and Dubinsky made watching the team enjoyable even when they weren't very good.

Kuraly is the only current roster player who comes even close to being the same style of player as these guys. And I'm one who thinks the game is diminished because of the dearth of these type of players.

 

[Crede777]

I'm definitely happy for the win and happy that Elvis is playing well.

That said, this whole 'sit back and protect' strategy when they have the lead really sucks. Letting an opponent get 40 shots is simply unacceptable.

Most of their shots were in the first half of the first period

Elvis has always been streaky — it has just been a long time since he has a good streak.

 

[Crede777]

Most of their shots were in the first half of the first period

This is untrue.

Shots were:
1st: Ottawa 16 - Columbus 11
2nd: 11 - 5
3rd: 16 - 7
Total: 43 - 23

They allowed 16 shots in the 3rd period while trying to protect the lead.

And it is clearly visible why - When protecting the lead they just form up in the center of the ice and swing their sticks back and forth like they're killing a penalty. When they do get the puck, they just look to clear the zone as opposed to send a play in transition. And our centers are way too passive - they need to constantly be looking to close the gap and pressure the puck carrier in all situations. That's what teams do to us and it works.

There are players I have told my kids to watch over the years — they are the guys that play with passion like Calvert. I never told my kids to watch Rick Nash or RyJo.
