🏒 fan. I am mostly into #CBJ. I like to look at numbers. I appreciate a respectful debate. My glass is half full. Positive advocate. Profile pic +- 15 yrs ago.
#CBJ ’s Kirill Marchenko is currently tied for 17th-best point producer in the league, with 53 points (in 50 games).
He’s also the 6th-best RW.
At 24 years old, this is his 3rd season in the league.
I feel like this is not talked about enough.
We’re witnessing a STAR being born.

With 20 mins to go in this one, I guess this means we add LDBB to this season’s point-per-game #CBJ players’ list.
-LDBB 1g 1a 2pts in 1GP
-Werenski 13g 35a 48pts in 42GP
-Marchenko 17g 28a 45pts in 42GP
-Monahan 14g 27a 41pts in 41GP

Close:
-Voronkov 29 in 33
-KJ 24 in 28

The points production by #CBJ this season so far is really coming from 5 players.
Marchenko, Werenski, Monahan, Voronkov and Kent Johnson all average between 1.11 (Marchenko) and 0.83 (Voronkov) points per game.
Nearest pursuant is Chinakhov @ 0.67, then Sillinger @ 0.54.

Before the season started, I don’t think I would’ve bet that Adam Fantilli and Mathieu Olivier would both have the same points total (15) after 38 games played.

Mathieu is having his most offensively productive season in career. In fact, his previous best was also 15, in 66 GP.

While #CBJ’s Voronkov and Marchenko are red-hot in the last 8 games (since December 15), with 12 and 14 points respectively, it’s been more difficult for Kent Johnson.

KJ has 1 goal and 2 assists for 3 points and a cumulative -7, in the last 8 games.

Still 21 pts in 24 GP.
January 1, 2025 at 10:33 PM
Since December 15th, in 8 games, #CBJ’s Dmitry Voronkov has posted 6 goals and 6 assists, so 12 points in 8 games.

He’s now at 24 points in 29 games this season, getting closer to point-per-game territory.

This also means half his season production so far has been last 8 games.

Bob Hartley on RDS (TSN’s french sister station) reveals that #CBJ’s Elvis Merzlikins got in touch with Latvia’s hockey program management to let them know he invited every player & member of staff to a steakhouse in Ottawa, his treat, following Latvia’s victory over Canada #WJC

Fun fact:

Jake Christiansen was the Dman with the least ice time in both games against Boston (9:12 Friday and 11:12 Saturday) out of the 7 Dmen that were playing.

He’s also the only CBJ Dman to have a positive differential in those 2 games combined (+1, 0, respectively).

#CBJ’s goalies stats this season so far (no minimum GP):

Elvis: 23 games, 3.09 GAA & 0.890 SV%;
Greaves: 4 games, 3.48 GAA & 0.890 SV%;
Tarasov: 10 games, 4.23 GAA & 0.857 SV%.

GAA: Elvis 60th in the league, Jet 69th (noice), Daniil 85th;
SV%: Elvis 57th, Jet 58th, Daniil 78th.
December 29, 2024 at 7:47 PM
#CBJ fans, remember that there is merely 47.745M (46.32M on 7 forwards, 4 Dmen and 1 goalie + 1.425M for the Boqvist & Wennberg buyouts) engaged on the salary cap for next season, before any trade and/or signature.

Per NHL.com, cap is projected @ 92.4M minimally.

#CBJ  let’s talk about Damon Severson (a 🧵).
First, let’s consider that Waddell said what he’s looking for most in a player is the will to play in Columbus.
Damon signed an 8 year deal in #CBJ  right after being traded from NJD. Money talks, but he likely wants to be here.

#CBJ enters the Christmas break with two players at a point-per-game pace this season:
-Kirill Marchenko has 13g 24a for 37 points in 35 games;
-Zach Werenski has 11g 24a for 35 points in 35 games.

Outside looking in:
KJ: 10g 10a 20p in 21 games;
Monahan: 11g 20a 31p in 35games.
December 24, 2024 at 1:59 PM
#CBJ’s Kent Johnson had two 3-games-pointless-streaks in December:
-Dec. 3, 5 & 6 vs CGY, EDM & VAN;
-Dec. 15, 17 & 19 vs CAR, TB & NJ.

It’s also the only 6 games this season he didn’t get a point.

Still, he’s currently at 10g 10a for 20 points in 21 games this season.
December 24, 2024 at 1:51 PM
#CBJ’s Kirill Marchenko is on a 5 games point streak, with 7 points in the last 5 games.
More specifically, he had 2 assists against Tampa, and 2 assists against New Jersey, to put him back to point-per-game, which he conserved with his goal against Philadelphia.
34 in 34.

Considering #CBJ ‘s Waddell has been pretty vocal about adding a potential top6 forward, I’ve brainstormed Trouba and Kakko for nothing significant made a lot of sense, a week or 2 ago.
Total shot in the dark here, but we shall see pretty soon.
December 6, 2024 at 4:58 PM
One thing Waddell has been pretty clear about in Columbus is, he will not keep (or acquire, in this context) a guy that doesn’t want to be in Columbus.
Therefore, if Trouba doesn’t (hypothetically) waive his NTC to be traded to #CBJ , I don’t see Waddell claiming him if waived.
Lots of Jacob Trouba talk today. Some trades on the table but potential for him to be waived if he uses his NTC. Columbus one of teams out there with interest. Stay tuned. #NYR #CBJ #CBJ

I may be wrong, but I think it’s pretty safe to say that Alec Martinez might have not played the best game of his career tonight.

#CBJ ’s Kent Johnson keeps his Games-with-at-least-a-point streak alive.

He’s now up to 11 points in 8 games this season.

2nd of 3 times tonight! #CBJ
Being from the Montreal area, tonight is one of 3 nights in the year that my 2 favorite hockey teams play each other.

For most it’s a garbage bowl. For me it’s prime TV.

According to Jody Shelley on that broadcast from Montreal, Laine told him he’s targeting his return for Weds here in Columbus … because if course he is.

He might continue the trend of former #CBJ scoring against Columbus. It’s happened in pretty much every occurrence thus far.

David is described here as a shutdown, stay-at-home Dman who doesn’t put up a lot of points but is mightily effective in his own zone.
Yours truly thinks the exact opposite: offensive specialist with glaring skating / positioning issues defensively.
Reminiscent of Adam Boqvist as of right now.
November 26, 2024 at 3:33 PM
#CBJ ’s Kent Johnson had a 2nd 2 points night yesterday in his return from injury.
He now has at least 1 point in each of his 5 games played this season.
4 goals, 3 assists for 7 points in 5 games.
