mll Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Laine was apparently benched for verbally disrespecting one of their coaches per Portzline and Friedman too. Edited February 10, 2021 by mll 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Roslovic is playing the way we hoped Virtanen would, I would have loved to have seen a Virtanen for Roslovic swap. JB has to find a forward just like him who's struggling and needs a change of scenery. As for Laine, not sure how he'll get on with Torts but it'll really tell us what his character and pride is like if he does or doesn't buy into the coaching system.

WHL rocks Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 No surprise Laine getting the Torts treatment in CBJ Laine was benched most of 3rd period and all of IT last night. He cant pkay defense and Torts won't put up with that... Bad decision by Laine to ask out of the Peg. Now he's stuck in CBJ playing under Torts with no legit 1C to play with. Reporters are openly discussing that Torts might want to get fired.. he's in last year of contract just like Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Dubois 2020/2021: CBJ: 5 games, 1 goal, 1 point, -2, 2 PIMs. WPG: 11 games 4g, 3a, 7 points, -2, 2 PIMs. Laine 2020/2021: WPG: 1 game, 2g, 1a, 3 points, +1 4 PIMs. CBJ: 18 games, 7g, 5a, 12 points, -9, 11 PIMs. The numbers in no way shape or form tell the whole story. Since the Jan 23rd trade winnipeg has only lost 4 games by more than 1 goal. 3 to Vancouver and one thumping to Montreal. Literally every other game that hasn't been an outright win has been a 1 goal loss. Columbus has had similar success but with more bipolar results in their losses/wins on the score board. A lot of that due to poor defensive lapses from their forwards. Laine is still a stud player who can put up points but Dubois is helping shore up the issues the Jets were having with Laine in the lineup. Where as the Jets are struggling to score a bit now but the Jackets are struggling to maintain defensive consistency. This will be a long time who won it trade for any clear winner but I still think the jets came out ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I understand Tortorella's style and Laine really doesn't gel well with it. They're about as bad as we are right now with arguably a similar team on paper, if any team needs a coaching change it's Columbus. 7 points out of a playoff spot, I think this messing with Laine might be the final straw for CBJ.

UFCanuck Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 After Tortz benched Luongo in the heritage game I don't get surprised anymore by his moves. Loved listening to some of the Rants he would go on post-game when he was our head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 It seems like Tortorella’s time in Columbus is rapidly coming to and end. It always seems like he gets more hard core and less give a crap the longer he goes and ends up self destructing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like a dbag the entire time he was here and didn’t give a crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella thrives in that kind of environment. But it would kill Boeser, Pettersson, Horvat, Höglander, Juolevi, Gaudette, Virtanen and pretty much anyone with a young heartbeat. Watch Torts sit Miller for an entire third period see how that goes. Edited March 13, 2021 by Me_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
