Former waiver pickup.

I see Peeke is not playing for Boston. Is he hurt or has the team realized he's not a top six d-man?

Broken hand and had surgery on it. He was a lineup regular for them before getting hurt

I don't think there was a surgery. He's week to week and I heard just a couple days ago that he could be back later in the series vs Florida.

It has nothing to do with Rielly (who generally stinks on rush defense).

To me it looks like he’s (a little to high in the zone) anticipating Lindholm dumping it in on the short side, and turns his hips to face him, then as a result is a step late in getting to Pasta. Marner as I mentioned just watches pasta skate past, not sure if he thought he’d be passed off to Rielly or not..

Samsonov definitely should've got to that puck but in his defense it's an unpredictable bounce off the boards that's at that really annoying distance where he actually needs to make a decision and it kinda looks like the puck rolling so slow actually caught him by surprise But yeah he froze.

There is something any of them could have done for sure, and you’d have liked to see those things, but the inverse is that sometimes a play works. You note responsibilities and tendencies and you come up with something you think will work. It did.

Here is a really interesting article about who is to blame for the goal.

Chief would be my guy. Afraid if we make a change we'll be on the outside looking in...

Suspend this clown.

Can you suspend someone for an attempted elbow? I'm not sure.

Pack it up boys and girls. Rangers are winning it all.

Ranger fans beware...

Justice would've been Trouba shattering his elbow into a million pieces, but we don't live in that world so chickenshits like him get to play another day and try again

Not if Nathan MacKinnon has anything to say about it.

It's an egregious attempt to throw an elbow at the head. Intent should matter.

Nothing will happen, of course. It's the NHL.

I read on the mains his elbow comes up because Necas dodges the hit and Trouba is bracing himself for contact with the boards... which makes complete sense, chicken wing elbow towards the nearest head in sight is like the basic human reflex in any unexpected situation

Here is a really interesting article about who is to blame for the goal.

I'm too lazy to read and comprehend that whole article but I would definitely read an article about what the CBJ do and why we are so bad at it.

Georgiev, unfortunately, will make it not matter.

The point of that article is that neutral zone defense starts on the forecheck. People blame the people who are back that you see (Morgan Reilly, Mitch Marner), but Bertuzzi made a mistake. I bet we screw up a lot on the forecheck and the guys who are back pay for it.

The guy who's 5-0 with a .921 save % and 2.12 GAA in his last five starts?

I’m just assuming everything CBJW is posting on this thread is purposefully sarcastic.

Correct, that guy.

now I feel like asking that writer to break down the Jackets defense the same way he did the Leafs in the article

We need more articles like that. That is what the hockey media should be doing. I’d love it if a guy like Voracek would analyze some of our goals against and say what he sees is breaking down.

I'd like to mention that since the year 2006, we've won the same number of playoff series as the Toronto Maple Leafs. Not counting the bubble series we won against them.

The way I phrase it is that we've won more post-season series than the Leafs since 2006.
