Benching your best player sends a message to your entire team that everyone will be held accountable

Johansen actually does have an issue putting in an effort on a consistent basis and it's well known by Columbus fans. Tortorella will be either very good or very bad for him, depending on how he reacts to it.

Should be good for foligno cause he gives his all every shift. He will be a tortz fav just like Callahan was in NY.

Yep same with Saad

The Jackets are kinda built like the Rangers...at least up front. He's got a familiar face in Dubinsky on the team. I don't think he's quite got a shot-blocking defense like he had in Gotham. Bob is a far cry from King Henrik right now. He's not really that bad of a fit for this team. It's really a matter of if he can reach them and will they listen to his message. They're definitely not as bad as they've been up to this point.

Babcock affect: Toronto's score adjusted corsi has risen by 5.2% and Detroit's has dropped by 7.8%.

lol

u guys are fuckin hilarious with this babcock effect shit

I'll worry about the possession numbers when Datsyuk is back and if they're still losing their ass. They've only played 2 quality games (Toronto and Tampa) out of 6 so far...a little concerning but I'm not freaking out.

You don't see a difference between how they play under him compared to Carlyle/Horachek
