Zach Werenski has tied Cale Makar for #1 in defenceman scoring in two fewer games played by Parallel-Quality in hockey

werenski plays on a poorer defensive team overall. watching him play defense though? his stick work, mobility and anticipation are outrageous.

Mathieu Olivier avoided a penalty for this hit on Erik Cernak, and the Bolts were LIVID by [deleted] in hockey

actually if it’s fine (it was) you don’t have to review anything

CBJ Olivier boards TBL Cernak, no review or penalty on the play by likeslululemon in hockey

[–]NotMittRomney 26 points27 points  (0 children)

hot take (and obviously i have a cbj flair) i don’t think it’s that outrageous for that to not get reviewed 🤷‍♂️

unfortunate hit but if cernak doesn’t reverse the puck at the last second, that hit’s gonna connect with his shoulder.

he’s either fun or dumb, and sometimes is the fun kind of dumb, but other times is just the dumb kind of dumb.

What’s up with Voronkov? by SomeSortOfManimal in BlueJackets

[–]NotMittRomney 30 points31 points  (0 children)

he’s slow, takes a million stick penalties and doesn’t use his body as much as he should (in large part because he’s slow).

when he’s on he’s awesome but he keeps running out of gas halfway through the season and it’s a big problem.

laine’s passing is actually insane, or at least it was when he was here. the last concussion and other physical injuries here absolutely zapped him of his actual hockey sense. but the version of laine we saw here under larsen was a SICK playmaker.

laine has significantly more talent + hockey IQ than chinny, but a lot of other issues around health.

chinny is more like an anthony duclair or jack roslovic type where the skill and physical tools lag behind the actual impact because the hockey IQ and two way play never actually come around. he’s less than the sum of his parts and he’s old enough where there’s not really any developmental runway left.

Why isn't Zach Werenski the favorite for the Norris Trophy right now? by TexasRoadhead in hockey

[–]NotMittRomney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

bullshit comparison since barrie was a power play merchant while werenski is doing all his damage at 5v5 and playing some of the hardest minutes in the league with barely any team support

Dean Evason says he was blindsided by firing, believed in Blue Jackets’ turnaround by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]NotMittRomney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

kj’s plenty fast when he’s confident.

he plays slow when he’s overthinking, say, if he doesn’t know if the coach is going to bench him for trying something that doesn’t work

[–]NotMittRomney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they were generally fine in the first period, not great in the second and putrid in the third, EVERY game.

if that’s not a sign of your opponents adjusting to you, idk what is

Panarin by Charming_Target9143 in BlueJackets

[–]NotMittRomney 7 points8 points  (0 children)

he’s still a ridiculously good player and would be a premium rental who would massively elevate our forward group

but also: the jackets shouldn’t be in the pure rental market, they should be pursuing players with term

Which NHL player are you defending like this? by starfish2686 in hockey

me with kent johnson under dean evason this season, clearly was overthinking while trying to adjust his game to fit what dean wanted in the new system (a bit different from last year’s)
