[DEF]

Bemstrom has been busy.

 

[VT]

I must buy VPN and we're not gonna make it today. But onhockey did not disappoint, I hope there will be no further problems. Thank you all of them to help me.

What a pass by Roslovic. Neal with the tap in

 

[LJ7]

And James Neal with the first goal of the season for the Columbus Blue Jackets

 

[stevo61]

Such a weird play. Smart by Roslovic, had DeSmith commit hard to going around the net

 

[CBJWerenski8]

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Marchenko almost made a highlight reel goal

 

[tunnelvision]

Go Blanks

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Blankenburg goal

 

[Kcoyote3]

Been a little disappointed with Mateychuk, but this is a big step up in competition.

The speed of pro hockey probably catching him by surprise. It's a good learning experience.

Definitely. And it's hard to tell whether a guy is just figuring out what he can do vs pros or whether he is meeting hard limitations.

How’s Jiricek?

How’s Jiricek?

How’s Jiricek?

This is the best I've seen him play in a while. He's picking his spots well and playing good assertive defense. I spotted one bad pinch and one failed blind pass but that's not too bad.

 

[LJ7]

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Agreed . As of now blanks has to be in

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Oh f*** I hope Harpur is okay

 

[DEF]

Harpur just got his ass kicked.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

The first fight of the season and hopefully the last fight of the season (why is this still a thing... But okay that's not the topic today).

Blanks certainly looked confident in that goal. Super glad if he's able to continue from where he left off last season.

 

[Hinterland]

What are they talking about? It's no secret Rask has a bad wrist. He'll never be the same again.

 

[LJ7]

Roslovic's tendency to pass back against the grain could be nice between 13 and 29

Chinakhov seems to be a little better at puck carrying

I think he might be our best bet between them but his ambitious passing might be too much of a possession killer if he doesn't tone it down. Simple plays to keep the puck on Johnny's stick are better. Roslovic's skating and strength on the puck are where I think Roslovic has an edge on our other centers. If he could execute passes the way KJ does then I'd be all in favor of the ambitious stuff.

Lalonde is having a great game
