[Portzline] Told that #CBJ Kirill Marchenko will not play tonight vs. #LetsGoPens. Not sick or injured, but coach Pascal Vincent’s call to sit him. Without an extra forward on the roster, #CBJ will play 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

PV continues to make decisions that illustrate he should be gone at the end of the year. What an absolute moronic decision.
Before people go crazy. Jeff Svoboda mentioned last night in this tweet that Marchy keeps making these mistakes.

I think pascal just has had enough
What a joke of a coach
PV is an idiot
Listen, I think this might be more “acceptable” if we were contending for a playoff spot or like say just slightly outside a wildcard, but holy fuck, Pascal, we’re bottom of the league.
Thing is thoughy Marchy might have struggled last few games, but how many games did I watch Provorov turn the puck over, Severson? Or any of the other players?
To be fair he’s only scored 4 goals since his hat trick in December. The last time he was scratched it worked……
I can’t imagine why so many players have been publicly unhappy at different points this season.
Hope we can sit the coach soon
Wut. *Why?
tf
I miss having an NHL caliber head coach.
Great so it’s not enough for Pascal to screw the blue jackets as a team but now he’s gunning for my fantasy team too?
Jesus Christ Portzline is stirring the pot right now posting on Twitter.
“Why didn’t we call up someone deserving from Cleveland????”
“His family is back in Russia so this is just him being sat out”
I dunno, maybe 3 days before the trade deadline when the defense pool is getting more shallow we want to cram as many out as we can today? Does every single decision have to be theatrics and national hockey news?
Culture.
I’m pretty sure at this point he’s actively trying to get fired.
If he was just being sat for no rhyme or reason, I could understand the “PV is an idiot” posts. But Marchy keeps making these mistakes. So, I get the decision. You’ve got to keep players accountable. It doesn’t matter if we’re in it or not. You can’t let them continue to develop these bad habits.
Kind of a bummer since I’m going to the game, too.
Fire him yesterday.
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I am beyond fucking baffled at this. Marchy is one of the few consistently good playing players on this team and Vincent is actively trying to fuck that up
Get him the fuck out of Columbus
Could be a dual purpose. Send a message to Marchenko, but also get ice time for Provorov/Boq/Bean/Peeke in front of scouts before the trade deadline.
Why don’t we just bench Elvis, Tarasov, and all of our defenseman so Bemstrom can score 5 and get us that 3rd round pick?
This organization really does the dumbest stuff with its young players every season.
Ok, I’m totally done with Vincent at this point. Fuck’em. Don’t care how bad a situation he was put in, it’s time for him to go.
Marchenko made a bad turnover in an otherwise fantastic game and he responds by going with a short forward bench to “teach him a lesson”. Meanwhile veteran players who should absolutely know better make twice as many mistakes and nothing happens to them.
Alright, I kinda get it because Marchy hasn’t been good these last few games but I’m just not onboard.
What a fucking moron
Are’t his parents over from Russia or did they go back home?
If they’re still over here, this would be unconscionable.
