[EspenK]

Bolts offense has dried up...Jackets lineup starting to resemble last year's scrub team...so lets put an end to all that sellers talk and become buyers......has there ever been a sarcasm emoji in the start of a GDT?

If you see at least three guys (with 2 dmen) come off the taxi squad/recalled then I think that’ll be writing on the wall that Foligno savard and MDZ will be healthy scratches

I was surprised ("angry" really) they weren't healthy scratches last game after Nash went down.

I'll be amazed if there are any healthy scratches of those guys. Maybe MDZ but I think deep down Jarmo still thinks the Jackets can make it. And maybe Foligno says no thanks.

I think @ViD is onto something with his "be sellers at the deadline and make it anyway" plan.

TB is CBJ's favorite opponent. On average, they score more than 3 goals, concede a bit more than 2, and are 3-1-1. So nothing happening against this team can be regarded as representative of CBJ's quality.

However, we found back sniper Laine last game, we knew he could score goals (didn't we?), but not that he could break teammate bones to. . Boone is out, Nash is out (maybe Foligno and Savard will be soon out to?), and Laine's finger trick might become a gift to CBJ, as Torts has to deal without 2 grinders veterans, and share their minutes to more skilled mates. Might be tough in terms of face-off, as the other Cs are really worse, but I still hope that we'll be able to see more plays without them. And it frees a PP position too.

In a way whatever happens is positive. If CBJ keeps loosing, we might get talent through the draft. If they start winning, it will be fun to watch them perform.

And obviously, get well soon #38

Get Rims on the case. He does tv and radio ads for buyers.

[CBJWerenski8]

yeah they’re pulling savard and Foligno.

 

[MissADD]

Calling up Sherwood is interesting. I wonder if Foligno will be moved or they are preparing for a potential move. Because I don't think injuries too Nash and Boone necessarily mean he would come up. I'm probably wrong but I'll put that thought out there

 

[CBJWerenski8]

maybe not?

 

[Cyclones Rock]

I'm hoping that Laine breaks out of his slump and gets a secondary assist.

 

[MissADD]

maybe not?

I mean it does say projecting these lines. I guess something could change.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

maybe not?

I mean, three of those guys draw in anyway, two from the last lineup and one to replace Jenner. Not sure who will be scratches — it’s too hard for me to keep track of who’s on the bench and who’s on the taxi — but only Sherwood is ‘extra’ so maybe it’s his turn to get a bigger check?

 

[DarkandStormy]

maybe not?

This team is such a joke lol

 

[LJ7]

Sherwood went from Cleveland to taxi squad, not main roster.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Grigorenko should enjoy the rest of the season. I doubt he'll play in the NHL again after this season ends.

Meh he has a few more years as a journeyman depth forward if he wants to stay in NA. Just up to him if he wants to do that or get TOI back home

 

[DJA]

Incredibly stupid to have Savard and Foligno (and MDZ) in the lineup, but considering it's the CBJ, I'm not surprised.

Should we be surprised ? This is the same GM that has sit by and watch this team massively underachieve due to its head coach . I used to have a respect for Jarmo , due to the returns he has had with trades , but in reality he sits tight way to long , whether it’s keeping a lame duck coach he has no intention of keeping , because he’s had past success. Or , Knowing this team has needed to upgrade its center depth for the past 5 yrs , and here we are having Texier , Roslovic trying to learn on the job .

Rimsshot!

Stenlund must have gone from the doghouse to the outhouse.

Agree. To not trade some of our guys for assets, it’s the equivalent of being buyers. And it hardly seems we should be buyers.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Why do we keep scratching Kevin Stenlund, the guy who is 2nd in both xG% and points/60? Find out if you have centers beyond the "not really centers according to the coach" in Domi & Texier! This team is so freaking dumb.

 

[Bookker]

Stenlund must have gone from the doghouse to the outhouse.

Having said that, does he really have enough skills to play at the NHL level consistantly ?
He has some finishing skills, but it's not flamboyant either
And he does lack several things : speed, vision/hockey IQ, not really physical etc.
I do like the guy, but...

BTW I'm looking forward to see Kole Sherwood a bit in the next games
