They were good last night, CBJ, Fantilli and Belluz had good games and Elvis Merzlikins was excellent.

They are a fun team to watch, should be a legitimate force in a couple years.

Thanks for pointing that out.

I have zero idea how he is playing as I watch very little Canucks hockey and have watched more CBJ hockey than any other team, this season.
My boy Fantilli is looking excellent out there in Columbus.

You’re weird. Yeah, Fantilli is really ripping it up.

97 gp / 26g / 27a / 53p / -26

Couldn’t even hold Pouty’s jockstrap and yet he’s “your boy”?

He's definitely not as good as Petey but he did have a hat-trick last night and he stayed at a holiday inn express. He's only 20 and a nice young player though.

I hope Fantilli will be as good as Petey one day.

Is the NHL a popularity contest or a results based business? I think some fans are confused.

I'm only watching tonight's game in the hopes of violence.

Hate or dislike will blind a person, they form a false perception or understanding of a given situation, person or object even though they don't have all the information. And they will staunchly defend their positions on this, no matter what.

You know there's this thing called youtube, you can look back at clips from yesteryear and feed your violence obsession.

Fingers crossed, but let's be honest, the mostly likely scenario is rolling over and playing dead.

Old violence is tired, I want fresh violence.

Ya, shame on me for liking a good young player like Fantilli.

Oh, that's what "my boy" means. My mistake.

Fantilli is in his 2nd nhl season, which is equivalent to Poutys 1st season, as Pouty didn't play in nhl right after being drafted, like Fantilli did last season, yet Fantilli is already being relied on to kill penalties, which is pretty impressive for a 20 year old kid.

A couple years back, during the Bedard sweepstakes season, Lefty asked if anyone is even close to challenging Bedard as the #1 pick, I posted about Fantilli as a potential candidate = my boy

Thank you

In the intelligence community forming a false public perception is an important part of driving hidden agenda's.

You are on fire this morning with your great hockey comments.

I've got you fooled, you think I'm someone pretending to be someone, when in reality, I'm neither of those people.

Shouldn't even be NHL Hockey in Columbus lol

Yes, the coach just spoke about this publicly. Evason said they told him if he wanted more icetime he needed to become a better 200 foot player, the offence would follow. He listened and it's working out for him. He's a great young player, as is Pettersson.

I generally don't consider anyone over 25 as a young player, more like a veteran, but you may define older players as young players, if you wish.

Good on Evason for providing some good advise to a solid young player like Fantilli and Johnson.

Ya, they should keep the nhl out of winter cities like Columbus, who are averaging over 16000 per game. Move them to Arizona

I think JR read the riot act to potential trade partners about the leaks. Hence the silence as of late.

Johnson looks good this year, he's way more noticeable. He's very "darty" with his speed but he still shy's away from traffic or confrontation.
