Comedy CowPies in the 'Lumbus

Huh. I liked the guy and thought he had a future here. *shrugs*

Oh well.

 

[forty_three]

Here's how they are gonna line up. Chinakhov will make way for Hofmann on that 4th line. Kinda like it. Let Sillinger roll in and get comfy and make sure Domi is 100%.

The 4th line could be the best checking line we've had in a while.

'Am I going to be all right?' Blue Jackets' Merzlikins tries to move on after death of Kivlenieks

Countrymen, teammates and fellow goalies, Elvis Merzlikins and Matiss Kivlenieks were more than best friends. After Kivlenieks' death in a fireworks accident this offseason, Merzlikins must carry on without his "little brother."

Gonna be an emotional night tonight.

Behind the scenes from the Blue Jackets' summer.

Interesting, at one point Jarmo and staff were saying they wanted to draft a D man at 5OA. But then also said "Or Johnson or Sillinger".

They got both.

Elvis arrives

Goalies are weird.

Also: Pending name change. Columbus Purple Jackets

Elvis is wearing #80 tonight.

"When I leave de house my wife says 'don't fuck it up'"

Was hoping Sillinger could get on the goal parade last night. He had an opportunity late, as did Bjorky for the hatty

I am hoping that "Don't fuck it up" becomes our slogan this year.

It was Torts! He was the problem!

In other news, Chinakhov went to Cleveland for the weekend and got his first North American goal. Now recalled back to CBJ. Shot was a lazer. I saw it go towards him he loaded up for the wrister and then I didn't see the puck again until the net bulged.


Just need to get him space to release that thing on NHL ice.

"I'm back"

Projected to be on the 3rd line centered by Sillinger and Texier on the off wing.

Korpisalo gets his first start of the season also.

 

[forty_three]

Update: Chinakhov gonna be playing with Bjork and Roslovic.

Lines:
Laine - Jenner - Voracek
Bjorkstrand - Roslovic - Chinakhov
Texier - Sillinger- Nyquist
Robinson - Kuraly - Hofmann

Game 1 - Merzlikins .945 sv% 8-2 win
Game 2 - Merzlikins .950 sv% 2-1 OT win
Game 3 - Korpisalo .953 sv % 4-1 Loss (2 EN goals)

This is gonna be a long season.

 

[forty_three]

Wonder how we'd do against the Red Wings.

 

[gob]

Game 1 - Merzlikins .945 sv% 8-2 win
Game 2 - Merzlikins .950 sv% 2-1 OT win
Game 3 - Korpisalo .953 sv % 4-1 Loss (2 EN goals)

This is gonna be a long season.

But a rewarding one for the future (if they keep it up)
