Probably best for Tarasov to go to Cleveland and build experience on a more competitive team. He's looked good this season and was rocking a .942 across the last two games (W vs. Florida, SOL vs. Vegas).

I just want to watch Patty sock Johnny Gaudreau-fed dingers and donate to the homeless in the process at this point, damnit.

Maybe the CBJ will get the losing out of their system after seeing another Ohio team expected to win get pantsed in person. (Though I guess Blankenburg was alright with the outcome, but he was playing well anyway.)

More context about the thought process that goes into players with extended concussion issues retiring as opposed to playing on:

quote:

“At the time, I felt that I could play and still could have battled through certain things,” Nash said. “I can only speak to my situation, but I just made the decision that my family was more important to me than the game.

“The game gave me a special life, but if I can’t live comfortably after that, what was the point of all those years? I wanted to watch my kids grow up more. I have no regrets. The further I get away from my playing days, I know I made the right decision.”

Nash would have signed a contract to return to the Blue Jackets had his concussion symptoms cleared and doctors permitted him to play again. Instead, he’s been working for the organization since a few months after he retired.

“At the odd time (the old symptoms) will still creep up,” Nash said. “But it gets better and better.”

I'm glad Rick did what was best for himself, but there's still a piece of me that would've loved to have seen what he would've been able to add to the 2018-19 CBJ in one last hurrah.

How the hell is Columbus down with Chicago/Arizona/Anaheim?

They played like rear end and went 3-9-1 to start the season before Finland. It was at/around the point where Laine (IR twice), Korpisalo (recovering from hip surgery), Elvis (IR once), Voracek (out indefinitely, career might be over), Werenski (see you in 23-24), Bean (out 4-6 months), Nick Blankenburg (out 4-6 months), Boqvist (who I had to remember was on the team) and other key pieces went down and they had like $40M in cap space on IR; IIRC, they've iced 14 defensemen this year. A sample lineup of what they're running right now is:

Gaudreau-Jenner-Laine
Nyquist-Roslovic-Johnson
Chinakhov-Sillinger-Foudy
Robinson-Kuraly-Meyer

Gavrikov-Bjork
Christansen-Gudbranson
Bayreuther-Peeke

Korpi
Elvis

Ironically, the team started to play better when the kids and AHLers started showing up. Kent Johnson is quietly third in rookie scoring and seems to have the skill, just needing some fine-tuning. Kirill Marchenko finally makes his debut tomorrow. One of the big finds has been Marcus Bjork, an SHL defenseman a prominent Swedish hockey writer thought would never get anywhere close to the NHL, but has 2-3-5 in 10GP.

Even in losses, they've looked decent since Finland, which is having them return/regress to who they were last year; a team that wasn't particularly good in no small part due to issues on the blue line and in net, but was enough to be in games and snatch wins. It's encouraging, but also not sucking hard for Bedard, and is thus frustrating. One big part of that has been Daniil Tarasov, who looked solid in his last two starts (1-0-1) before going back to Cleveland. Joonas Korpisalo has also looked much better this year, which makes me wonder if he wasn't playing hurt in 2021-22.

Because, unlike 99, there are 20 other players who currently may take issue.

On a number-related tangent, only one player has ever worn #6 for the Detroit Red Wings and, for the name alone, it should hang from the rafters.

Has never really lived up to that d+1 season in the KHL, but it’s that time of years where teams’ depth is being tested due to an Avalanche of injuries. I could see somebody giving him a shot in their top-6 for a couple weeks due to first round pedigree

He's cheap. He's Finnish. His potential new team is banged up.

quote:

It was surprising, then, when Gudbranson made a statement before talking to the media in advance of Friday’s game vs. Calgary:

“This is for the Columbus (media). I made a comment after our last game. You know, context is so important. The way it came out on the other side was certainly not my intention. We were speaking about our practice habits, and that comment was based on the players and us taking ownership. It had nothing to do with the coaching staff being unprepared or preparing us. Those guys spend hours and hours and hours working so hard to get us prepared. There are little details that we can control that we need to control a little bit better. That was the message and I wanted to clarify that.”

Clearly, Gudbranson’s comment, as innocuous as it seemed, didn’t sit well with somebody in the organization. But it’s a troubling sign that somebody — anybody — was worried about messaging in the wake of that ugly display on home ice.

It was a reminder of the early days of the organization, when the Blue Jackets were a disaster on ice and legendary center Sergei Fedorov was scolded by then-GM Doug MacLean for his blunt, but fair critique of young wingers Rick Nash and Nikolai Zherdev.

That experience told Fedorov all he needed to know about the organization.

I went to Buffalo's roster page to see their team stats for the year and wondered if goaltending was an issue and there's Craig Fuckin' Anderson rising like a 41-year old phoenix like he did a couple years ago in DC with a 6-4-1 record, .922, and 2.66GAA at 41 years old.

(Their other goalies are 3.5+ GAA, I think, I didn't pay that much attention, I was just happy to see Craig Anderson still kicking around and doing well-ish.)
