GDT: "Samkow Memorial Game Day Thread" | Game 8 | Columbus vs. Arizona | 10/23 7PM

[CBJWerenski8]

If wennberg had the same back checking effort as duclair and Panarin there, he would be roasted for it.

 

[Viqsi]

I'm beginning to get the impression that switching the assistant coaches' responsibilities may not have been the best idea.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Larsen's coaching of the D seems similar to that of the PP - unproductive.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Lifeless period, lifeless crowd, lifeless team.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Larsen's coaching of the D seems similar to that of the PP - unproductive.

As it turns out, he is only good at stopping the Blue Jackets from scoring.

 

[MoeBartoli]

I'm beginning to get the impression that switching the assistant coaches' responsibilities may not have been the best idea.

I Have to admit I didn't think it was the best idea when announced.

 

[aRussian]

Lots of passes to no one the last few shifts. Turnovers getting ridiculous at this point. Each facet of game seems to be unraveling over course of game

 

[MoeBartoli]

Torts isn't exactly EASING Seth back into the action.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Torts isn't exactly EASING Seth back into the action.

Hard to blame him. He’s one of only two skaters we have who can make a difference by themselves.

 

[Fairwhether]

Every team we play seems to have a preferred style of attack off the rush which generates some scoring chances. What is ours?

 

[MoeBartoli]

Hard to blame him. He’s one of only two skaters we have who can make a difference by themselves.

Understand and Agree with your point about being a difference-maker, but I want to avoid a setback which can happen if he's dead in the third, making him vulnerable.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I would love to know what these guys have been working on in practice because its not defensive responsibility or creating quality scoring chances.

 

[We Want Ten]

Feels like a critical PP.

 

[Theo Von]

You guys are funny, and since I know how this board works it’s either you’re a Bob fanboy or want him gone, so whatever. But I would like to know what exactly he could have done differently on either goal.

No, he’s not playing his best, or even well. Throwing away our franchises best player over a handful of bad games, is kind of a stretch. IMO

56 goals against over a 14 game span dating back to last season isn’t a ‘handful’ of games. Something is desperately wrong with Bob and has been dating back to April, and it pains me that you can’t admit it.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Kevin Connaughty

 

[MFRONE]

The PP isn’t even threatening one bit

 

[We Want Ten]

Feels like a critical PP.

nvm

 

[aRussian]

Special teams are taking the same role they had last season; a sink hole. Good teams make them count

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Pathetic.

 

[We Want Ten]

Wow. We are bad.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Can someone fill me in as to Torts answer on why Panarin is playing the right side on the powerplay ? It’s almost like taking the one thing that was working on your powerplay , his wicked onetimer, and taking that away. WTF

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Jesus, we stink.

 

[Halfboard]

Awesome......

 

[aRussian]

How many goals result of CBJ turnovers tonight? Welcome to .500 tonight. Pull heads from asses, please

 

[Theo Von]

Hey @CBJWennberg10, how about that 4th goal? Was that not Bob’s fault too?

Jody shelley: “Bob didn’t even move!”

I’m not exaggerating when I say this, that was the SOFTEST wristser that I’ve EVER saw Bob give up. Holy crap.
