Capital Markets guy covering all things #CBJ. Cap, contracts, roster value. Honest, objective, occasionally sarcastic. Your newest go-to Jackets news source.
Same old story from last nights #CBJ pressers and while I found Z’s comments particularly interesting (perhaps a shot at the staff on changing lines so often as well as not pairing D/Fs together enough), I expect a real blender of lines tomorrow night against TBL.
Shit at the wall, here’s what I’d love to see for big changes:
4-3-91
89-19-10
43-23-24
94-18-92
@RealCinciNasty@Buccigross Park behind the bar between Huntington park and new soccer stadium. Corporate lot. Costs have gone up slightly in the last 10 years but it’s I believe $10 parking and one of the best kept secrets around NWA. But get your point for sure
@RandyGCoach Woah. I love how out of left field this is. My only gripe would be putting 19 on the wing with how good he’s been on faceoffs but I do love the out of the box mixup!
#CBJ D Zach Werenski talking about disconnect with linemates:
"I know D pairs, it is very important to play with the same guy. I think me and Sevo will read off each other really well, not that you can't go out there for a few shifts with other guys, but I do think it's important to find chemistry, and in saying that it is important that D find chemistry with forward lines too. Whether its O-Zone faceoffs, in the D-Zone, what you want to do. I feel like that is an important part of the game, and I feel like we're just maybe a little bit off on that, and it is costing us right now."
It’s becoming more of an occurrence the last couple of seasons in our struggles & headline drama. Lots of frustration from #CBJ fans last few seasons now. Tuesday night against a FLA team who couldn’t sellout until their cup, I expected it tonight.
Historically, one of the top attendance teams in the league and notably even when they’re bad or losing hope in a season. But it’s waning.
Man. I love Monahan. He came to #CBJ to play with Johnny. He looked like a man playing for his lost best friend his first year with us. Nearly PPG. Last year he struggled with injury. This year, he just doesn’t have it. He’s always been a slower pace player but now it’s like his brain is a second slow now too. I want him to be what he was two seasons ago but it may not be there. Really good bottom 6 winger or C but not 1C/2C. Sucks to watch.
Provy goal, great finish. Notice, all three forwards in front of the net or trying to get in front of the net. If we’re gonna put all three forwards in front we have to be able to get shots through from the blue line or skate or like that by Provy.
But the bigger point is this group is being forced to play with the puck less. Cycle and get to the net is clearly the game plan. Unsure about it really #CBJ
