[NotWendell]

He’s thinking about trying???

or trying to think?!?

“Jackets on the prowl”.......Jesus Rimer.....

Sorry. As someone who has gone to bat for Laine many times there is no excuse anymore. Score a goddamn goal or something. This isn’t a coaching thing. Putting this squarely at the foot of Torts is ridiculous. Is torts involved in the teams struggles and his struggles? Absolutely. Absolving Laine of his own issues is a joke. It’s f***ing ridiculous. 20+ games without a goal? And this is Torts’ fault? Are you kidding me? He’s played with everyone on the roster. He’s gotten his share of minutes. And he’s not changing his game at all to try to turn things around.

I’m not saying trade him or get rid of him or whatever. But it’s time to f***ing do something. Be the player YOU want to be. I know for damn sure this isn’t what he or the team had in mind. Do something about it.

The way I see it, I put the blame 75% on Laine's effort/apathy, 20% zero supporting cast, 5% The system of dump/chase/flip the puck out/create turnovers with speed (of which Laine has 0).

 

[GoJackets1]

Not sure how this goal was allowed to stand...

Yeah after seeing the initial replay I couldn’t believe that it wasn’t even reviewed.

Malhotra’s non goal vs Dallas continues to haunt me forever when shit like this happens.

[GoJackets1]

Not that I really care or it matters but I can’t help but think 2 of Tampa’s goals shouldn’t have counted.

Where’s the dislike button

 

[MoeBartoli]

Oh well, a stat padder for Domi

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Laine will be making $7.5 million next season.

That is criminal.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

They didn't play terribly, but a combination of poor goaltending and defensive zone coverage did them in. Also, the Jackets could have had 7 or 8 goals tonight with better finishers. Tampa was pretty bad in their own zone.

 

[Fred Glover]

Turned off the game and turned on the Crew after Korpi three goal disaster
Might we have won if Elvis started? Just asking

 

[BullLund]

Would've been a nice game if they didn't choke in the first 5 minutes.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Not that it really matters since the game was over but Laine didn’t “celebrate” with Domi after he scored. He went off the ice.

thanks for picking that scab.

IMHO what's happen attack, lines are quite good. But defense... .

It isn't nice from him even if he would angry for loss. Btw I have a feel Domi and Bjorkstrand ignored him sometimes.

Laine will be making $7.5 million next season.

That is criminal.

He's still young. We'll see how in the next games. But I'm pessimist.

 

[I3LI3]

Can’t say our captain isn’t putting in the effort until he’s (presumably) traded... on the ice tonight at even strength: 10 shots for just 5 shots against. easily by far the best on the team with those advanced stats.

 

[DJA]

Anyone know our record since Jarmo’s Zoom call?

7-10-4 I think

I still like this roster. Obviously some tweaks are needed but with a coach that is a better fit for the personnel next season I like our chances of making the playoffs.

I still believe this roster is pretty good. We all know our issues are at center (mostly) and that’s a tough hill to get over. However I’m now getting concerned about our goaltending. Both guys are way too inconsistent and neither one inspires confidence to take the job.

im not saying we’re a cup contender or anything but if you put two good centers on this team I think we’re a bubble team again.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Not that it matters nor is it a surprise but torts did just confirm we’re selling

just heard that. honestly surprised that tort’s is the one to confirm it. probably is the last person I thought I’d hear confirm it.

Not concerned at all about the goaltending. Elvis is at a .916 save %, league average is .909. It was odd man rush galore tonight against one of the league's best teams. They are a fine tandem and I trust Legace and company to have whoever the backup is next season ready to go.

Fair. I just wish one of them would put a stamp on the job like Bob did from Mason in the lockout year

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

It been clear to me that Laine is thinking too much on almost every single shift.

It's probably what happens when you are threatened with being benched for making a defensive mistake.
