Some interesting 'underlying' truths from the Tampa CBJ series.....

 

The dominance of Columbus' "4th line".

 

Jenner

4.1% ozone starts, 40.7% corsi.

2 pts in 4 games.  +2

 

Dubinsky

2.1% ozone starts, 39.5% corsi

+1

 

Nash

2.1% ozone starts, 40% corsi

1pt, +1

 

That may not seem that significant, but....

 

Jenner

0 ozone starts, 13 defensive zone starts in game 4.

0 ozone, 18 defensive zone starts in game 3.

2 ozone, 16 defensive zone starts in game 2.

0 and 8 in game 1.

Overall = 2 ozone starts, 55 defensive zone starts in the series.

And he was a +2, outscoring the lines he was matching up against, up severely tilted ice.

Big, physical, mobile, skilled fourth line - enviable depth - particularly with a '3rd' line like Foligno, Anderson...

 

The value of incredible depth and great shutdown players....a part of the reason guys like Duchene could enjoy 80% ozone starts - and thrive against (a depleted) Tampa blueline

you've been talking up Jenner for a long time, and its easy to see why. I wonder if he has a CBJ boards contingent that wants him traded like we have for Sutter and Beagle :lol:

One of the NHL's worst players in the NHL.

 

And making 3.75 million!  For a 4th linerz!   What idiot is the GM there?  That contract is awful

 

I hope DimJim isn't dumb enough to bite if they're looking to dump that bumb.

Its always the same song and dance with Torts haters. When his team wins, its the roster, not the coach. But when they lose, its all on Torts. I dont understand why there is so much hate, the guy has won a championship in every league he has coached in, and its clear that he is very passionate about the game. He might be a hard ass, but he's there to coach and motivate, not give out hugs and kiss boo boos.

 

When he was in Vancouver, the team wasn't willing to sacrifice to play Torts' way, and that's the truth. The fire in the belly was extinguished after 2011, and no one, not Vigneault, Torts or anyone else could motivate that team to make the tough plays needed to win when it mattered most. Lots of similarities between this recent Tampa team and the 2012 Canucks.

It's always the same with mindless, binary 'identity' stories like lovers/haters = hopelessly oversimplified.
