    So if we hadn’t given Olivier a ridiculous amount of ice time, do we get a goal?

  2. SomeKindOfMonster

    marchenko gets a hat trick yesterday and is rewarded today with 10 minutes of ice time

  3. iamelloyello

    Best game all year.

    Caps fans acting like they’re in the playoffs when they barely scraped by the worst team in the entire NHL.

  4. 1. Kuemper goalie’d us.

    2. This is the game that broke me with Brad Larsen. I’ve been a broken record, but how the hell does Marchenko get less ice time than anyone not named Carson Meyer? HOW DOES OLIVIER GET MORE EVEN STRENGTH ICE TIME THAN JOHNNY FUCKING GAUDREAU!? It makes no sense at all.

    3. Elvis had some pretty nice saves and no weak goals given up and I’m happy to see that!

  5. Another notch for Bedard or Co but I am glad Elvis/Defense really did a great job tonight…now once we get the other side working again we are right on schedule for our late season run to knock us out of a 1-4 draft slot to a 5-9 one!

  6. Sloane_Kettering

    Played good and hung in there. Got one loss closer to bedard so this is a W

  7. Tribe740

    Marchenko, a night after a hat trick, had the 2nd lowest minutes on the team only above Carson Meyer.

  8. jmullen12

    I wonder what Larsen said to Elvis in the first period. He seemed locked in the rest of the game

  9. omcclosk1447

    Kuraly and Olivier getting more ice time than Kent and Kirill. Hell even Foudy got more. Very confusing choices by Brad. Rosolovic getting 7 more mins than Kent too. Just let the kids play.

  10. willingplankton

    Perfectly fine with that result. Boys looked pretty good, the only goal against Elvis was a freak bounce, and no points for the tank. Biggest gripe is ice time allocation. I’ll take this result.

  11. Captain49

    Weird fucking game man. Incredible effort but zero goals. Hope to see that same level of effort in the coming games!

  12. hnglmkrnglbrry

    That’s a faceoff percentage not even a mother could love.

  13. jakeyeah111

    let the fucking kids play

    nobody would like kuraly if he wasn’t a Columbus boy

  14. Fun facts about ice time in this game!

    -Gaudreau played the exact same amount of minutes, down to the second, as Kuraly

    -Marchenko played the second-fewest minutes on the team

    -Roslovic played almost 21 minutes

    -Gudbranson was second on the team in ice time

    Can’t even take solace in us playing a good game and just getting goalied because Larsen’s deployment of players is borderline sabotage.

  15. dadeezone

    Defense played great ! PK was awesome ! Elvis was solid ! The forwards/offense ??? Just needed one goal to get this to OT. Damn !!! Effort and compete was there…team deserved better result.

  16. You know what, I’m as okay with that as I can be with losing. Like I expected nothing between the 3 games in four days, rough practice, and game 2 of a B2B but that was a good effort tonight.

    It’s still unfortunate Kuemper decided to play his ass off lol.

  17. deepthroathamburger

    Alright guys the Blackhawks are beating the Flames right now and the Coyotes are beating the Penguins. We can still win the day.

  18. Fabresque_

    Marchenko next to no minutes.

    Brad clearly saw him light up the show vs Carolina and deemed him too good. Olivier is better it seems.

  19. titanup1993

    Love that B stepped up for Bjork, sucks he didn’t get more of a response from the rest of the guys

  20. deepthroathamburger

    The Flames just changed their goalie because of the Blackhawks.

  21. Yeah lets give Roslovic 20+ minutes but sit Marchenko. It’s as if Brad took notes when Torts sat players for accountability but wrote it in Doctor handwriting

  22. Infranto

    What you see when you look at Marchenko: A hot prospect on pace for 30 goals in 59 NHL games, who is leading our team in G/60 by a huge margin

    What brad larsen sees: literally the worst player on our team

  23. deepthroathamburger

    Domi just won the game for the Blackhawks.

    In tank land we won twice today
