Harman DayalHOST
Let's do it.
Harman DayalHOST
Did you see in the Buffalo Columbus game last night, Matthew Olivier, and he's actually a player that I like a lot.
Harman DayalHOST
Last year, I wrote an article on players that are underrated, and I brought up that, hey, Olivier, he's tough as nails and is a legit scary fighter, but also he can pop 15 to 20 goals.
Harman DayalHOST
He... and and also plays like elite shutdown hockey on columbus's uh checking line so it's not just a guy that is an enforcer he can score and also checks really well but i have to say this is a bad look on him the other night where it was a delayed penalty the puck goes into the buffalo zone just wide of buffalo's net obviously the the buffalo goaltender's gone to the bench Olivier, as he's chasing the puck down, deposits it into the Buffalo net.
Mitch MelnickHOST
That's a franchise record, first game as a member of the Blue Jackets.
Mitch MelnickHOST
Also part of that was, uh, Matthew Olivier trying to get something going, putting, after a whistle, the puck into an empty net.
Mitch MelnickHOST
[stick slapping] [crowd cheering]

Here comes Zach Wynn down the right wing.
Mitch MelnickHOST
Oh.
Mitch MelnickHOST
Threw a punch.
Mitch MelnickHOST
[whistle screeching] First fight of the season for Matthew Olivier.
Mitch MelnickHOST
Metza just trying to hang on for dear life.
Brad RyderGUEST
Yeah.
Chris ParkerHOST
And then Dennis Gilbert had to have a stage fight the next game with- Matthew Olivier, uh, who had nothing to do with it of course, 'cause it was a different opponent, but whatever.
Brad RyderGUEST
[laughs]
Chris ParkerHOST
Um, I'm almost sure that's what happened.
54 MINS LATER
Chris ParkerHOST
Oh.
Chris ParkerHOST
Through a punch.
Chris ParkerHOST
First fight of the season for Matthew Olivier.
Chris ParkerHOST
Metza just trying to hang on for dear life.
Chris ParkerHOST
Through a punch.
Chris ParkerHOST
First fight of the season for Matthew Olivier.
Chris ParkerHOST
Metza just trying to hang on for dear life.
Chris ParkerHOST
Linesman's gotta get in there.
Michael AraceHOST
Can you get that two years in a row? But that's another point.
Michael AraceHOST
And Matthew Olivier was also injured at the time.
Michael AraceHOST
And down they went, Porty.
Michael AraceHOST
And so those were the things that I was looking at, was how does this injury-riddled defense respond in game one? And two, you know, what's the initial impression, I should say? A book wasn't written last night.
TonyHOST
He's not a lock for the top six.
BrookeHOST
What about the right wing group? You have Riley Bozo, James Fisher, Matthew Olivier, and Valery Nichishkin.
BrookeHOST
That's a crowded house.
TonyHOST
Nitschishkin is the anchor.
Tyler YaremchukHOST
Yeah, 10 to 12 in a healthy season is kind of the other thing.
Tyler YaremchukHOST
Matthew Olivier scored 15 last year.
Liam HorrobinHOST
Wasn't he like a third line player for them?
Tyler YaremchukHOST
Yeah, I mean, that's a third line, fourth line.
JakeHOST
If they trade Marchenko, if they don't agree with Fantilli, who knows what's going to happen with that.
JakeHOST
And then it's Kent Johnson, Voronkov, Monaghan, Olivier, Miles Wood, Charlie Coyle, who they extended for no reason.
JakeHOST
And then Conor Brown, who they have on six more years, is playing fourth line wing right now.
JakeHOST
Um, they obviously have a run ski and Matt's Chuck, but other than that, nobody that really moves me.
Nick ZararisGUEST
And the composition of this roster, for the most part, kind of feels like year four of a sim in an NHL franchise where – You just throw money at free agency like, yeah, Conor Garland was good two or three years ago.
Nick ZararisGUEST
We'll bring him in.
Nick ZararisGUEST
We'll keep Matthew Olivier.
Nick ZararisGUEST
It's it's a very extra pieces roster here.
Jay ForsterHOST
Got lifted a little bit by how good the third line was, but your second line has to be able to contribute.
Jay ForsterHOST
And because the second line didn't contribute for a bunch of, um, a bunch of last season for the most part it uh it makes it difficult so having a functional second line would be just great uh the third line I'm gonna assume is gonna be Charlie Coyle with who knows maybe Danton Heinen and Miles Wood on the third line I know that Wood's been on that third line in uh training camp along with Matthew Olivier um and then the fourth line is gonna be um Jack Williams, Luke Tuck, and Ove Keskinen is my guess.
Jay ForsterHOST
So kind of a mismatch, bottom two lines, bottom half of the forwards, but that top half, again, if you assume that you're plugging Fantilia and Fusillinger at some point, that's what the top six is going to look like, at least to open the season.
Jay ForsterHOST
I'm interested to see, specifically that second line, I'm interested to see how Karel Machenko and Kent Johnson work with each other.
Jay ForsterHOST
And then I guess, my guess is we'll see basically the entire NHL squad on Saturday, apparently minus Vronkov and Wood.
Jay ForsterHOST
So, you know, guys that will get back into the mix.
Jay ForsterHOST
Matthew Olivier will get back into the mix.
Jay ForsterHOST
Ryan Lomberg will get back into the mix.
Jody ShelleyHOST
He's got speed.
Jody ShelleyHOST
I've seen Charlie Coyle come in with Olivier.
Jody ShelleyHOST
Instant chemistry.
Jody ShelleyHOST
A line I wouldn't want to play against with Miles Wood on that line as well.

Dylan TyrerHOST
I think it takes everybody in the room, too, because you've brought up, you know, different veterans around the NHL and the impact that they've had on the dressing rooms that you've been in.
Dylan TyrerHOST
But the Blue Jackets leadership group has been here for a while now.
Dylan TyrerHOST
You're talking about Zach Warensky, Eric Goodbranson, Matthew Olivier, Charlie Coyle joined the team last year.
Dylan TyrerHOST
Now you have Stanley Cup experience in the room, Ryan Lomberg, Val Nachushkin.
