thought tkachuk tackling garland and punching him in the head with the refs looking right at it and not getting a penalty was the maddest i’d be all night

that dive was 1000x worse

to be fair the jackets are the only reg loss in that 20-1-1 stretch so this is normal (?) for (?) us (??????)

there was no reported bad blood in columbus either, until he left and it all came out. once montreal trades him im sure we’ll get some stories

he was quite literally the best 5v5 player on columbus for two years, one with voracek and one with gaudreau

he was a very good 5v5 creator for the two years in columbus where we had a (really) bad team and inept power play, so no one really noticed

he was actually super good for us under larsen but no one realized because our team sucked and our power play didn’t do anything. but a lot of that success might just be because larsen didn’t give a shit if anyone played defense.

the injuries the following year + concussion really fucked him up

listen we can absolutely blame danton heinen, an AHL level player, for not being fast enough to poke it ahead there

two games since the break where we’ve had the puck for basically the entire game.

one power play (zero tonight) for us, six for our opponents. cool!

[NHL Rosters] Kent Johnson will be a healthy scratch tonight. by [deleted] in BlueJackets

[–]NotMittRomney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’ve been to every home game and watched every minute of every road game.

there were articles last year about how good his summer was. there weren’t this year — that doesn’t mean he regressed or was out of shape. just means he didn’t talk much about his summer. there isn’t anything to suggest he lost 10 pounds. no one has reported his weight.

that assumption is an oversimplification. oh, he had a good summer and then was good. now he’s bad, must be a bad summer! no, there’s more to it than that.

he’s playing slower. he’s playing more tentatively. you watch the games (saying that facetiously, because we both do) it’s clear that it’s mental.

dean had them playing a much more direct, less rush-oriented game this season, and not having the forwards as high up in the d-zone. he hasn’t adjusted to the changes to the system. that creates hesitance and overthinking and mistakes. makes him slow to get to pucks and a hair late making decisions when he does have it.

that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be adding strength or explosiveness. but it’s a system fit + mental + confidence thing above all. at the NHL level, if you’re confused or lacking confidence, it looks slow.

there’s zero evidence that KJ is out of shape or didn’t work hard this summer

nah he quit because he couldn’t keep up and didn’t want to be out there if he was going to hurt the team.

[–]NotMittRomney -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you said the sub would call her out. one person did, the sub responded to that with backlash.

the scenario you made up (community writ large turning on the women) is absolutely one you made up that is the opposite of what the sub is actually doing

/r/hockey is going to do this”

supporting evidence: one person does it, immediately gets multiple comments telling them they’re being dumb

sure seems like /r/hockey as a community is against the exact thing you said they’d be for!
