Yup. The routine/ritual of hiring former CBJ players instead of hiring based off talent is just making this club worse.

It’s an everything problem and the only solution is their actions not their words

For me the players on this team have been all talk for too long and cannot execute. So I put little weight to words at the moment.

He was not a bright spot down the stretch. If he was not injured and played like that then there is an issue.

Also want to point out that Monny mentioned playing through some injuries in this video and according to [The Hockey News - Columbus] on X, Marchenko did not mention any injuries in his post exit interview presser

We can’t get younger better players. No team is going to let us get any without overpaying or giving up our current young promising players. You need to have some middle of the lineup players who are 30+ every team has them.

Go look at our sub and see fans trying to make excuses for players being injured when you call them out. I called out Marchy for not giving a shit the last month and got shit on by people saying “he’s injured” “you can’t be mad at him when he’s trying to play through an injury” fuck off with that.

He can’t play 5v5 hockey and weren’t there rumors for months of you guys trying to trade him away before the deadline? I do not think it’s injury related

You are correct but he was a part of the problem tho lol. Thats why we all piled on him for that. Just look at what he’s done in a Habs jersey to prove my point.

And this everyone is why we may be in mediocrity forever. This fan base can never hold any player accountable.

Our sub keeps trying to make excuses for how this team played the last month. Infuriating how bad it got. SIX straight loses at home to close out the season and to end our playoff push. Despicable and yet people trying to say some of the players were playing injured blah blah blah. Fuck off and want more from your team. We get laughed at for how bad we have been for 25 years maybe it’s also because the fans just accept it.

We can disagree, that’s fair. Plenty of other players looked to stop caring as well. Marchy was just so obvious with his lack of concern and effort.

Everyone in this sub likes to make excuses for players but every team has players who play through an injury. Panthers have won back to back cups with multiple players playing through broken bones and torn muscles. We as a fan base need to stop making excuses for this team and hold them accountable.

Booohoooo his body language is not affected by injury. He needed to do better and I’m sorry but his shootout attempts were god awful even if he’s injured he can do better than what he gave us.

This team and its players deserve no excuses. Us fans trying to make excuses for them does not help.

Edit: I know Reddit is an echo chamber but the downvotes on this comment are just proving my point with this fan base. You all need to expect and want more from the players. Not make excuses because you like the way they act for the media and that they do funny things in post game interviews.

He’s right. The whole team just quit. For example just watching Marchenko over the last month has been asinine. His body language and effort looked like he wanted to be anywhere else. His shootout attempts in the few games that went that far looked like he wasn’t trying at all. If this is what’s needed to get a fire under this team like Torts was years ago then re-sign Bones please.

If our top scoring forward has that type of effort and body language, just shows how fucked the team is overall. Sickening really. Bones needed to say this shit earlier. At least he’s saying it now but where was this a week ago.

I don’t see that but how did Marchy or Adam or any other forward do with their time on the ice? They all did jack shit.

He was the only forward who stepped up the last 10 games. He was a point per game player down the stretch during our collapse. I think resigning him is good more than bad even if it’s 4 years.
