AI Game Preview:

Ah, the Columbus Blue Jackets versus the New Jersey Devils – a showdown that's sure to be... well, let's just say it's happening.

On one side, you've got the Blue Jackets, a team whose name suggests they might be more comfortable at a Revolutionary War reenactment than on a hockey rink. They've been skating circles... mainly around the bottom half of the standings. But hey, they're consistent!

Then there's the New Jersey Devils, a team named after a mythical creature that's allegedly been sighted more times than their defense this season. They’ve got some bright spots, though. For instance, every game ends eventually.

In terms of strategy, it's a clash of titans... if by titans, we mean teams that sometimes remember how to play hockey. The Blue Jackets might try their signature move – the "Oops, Did We Just Let Another Goal In?" While the Devils, on the other hand, will probably stick to their tried-and-true "Hey, At Least We're Not The Blue Jackets" approach.

But seriously, it's going to be an exciting matchup between two teams that... exist. So grab your popcorn, lower your expectations, and enjoy the game! (If Bally's hasn't lost the feed)

AI What to Expect from the Blue Jackets:

The Columbus Blue Jackets power play is a thing of beauty – if you're rooting for the other team. It's like watching a group of guys who've been told there's a hidden treasure somewhere in the offensive zone, but they're only allowed to find it using interpretive dance. The puck moves around with the urgency of a sloth on a leisurely Sunday stroll, and the shots on goal are about as rare as a unicorn sighting.

But let's not forget their grand finale, the pièce de résistance: blowing leads in the 3rd period. Leading by two? Three? Five? No lead is safe. It's like they treat the final period as a plot twist in a bad movie – just when you think you know how it's going to end, surprise! The Blue Jackets have an uncanny ability to turn a potential win into a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat thriller where the only suspense is finding out how they'll let the lead slip away this time. It's almost artistic, in a tragic kind of way.

You could say the Blue Jackets have a flair for the dramatic – why win a game in a boring, conventional way when you can add a dash of despair and a sprinkle of heartbreak? It's the kind of consistency you can really set your watch to: solid play for two periods, then a third period that's like watching a sandcastle face the tide – gradually, inevitably crumbling away.

Watching a Blue Jackets game, you're never just a fan; you're an emotional thrill-seeker, riding the rollercoaster of "will they or won't they" hold onto the lead. It’s nail-biting excitement – or maybe just a test of how well you handle stress. Either way, it’s never dull!

And since it's a road game, I'll be hosting a watch party! Go ahead and make this thread sticky, like the floors at this bar.

At least I am learning that AI is like a sarcastic teenager so it will never bother to get off the couch to take over the world. Unless it is brilliantly using sarcasm to lull us into a false sense of security as it works to take over the world.

I don’t think our computer overlords are going to let Kuraly sit.

If he is out, I doubt we’ll win many important face offs tonight. Hughes sucks at face offs, but Hirschier is pretty good at them and McLeod is winning 2/3 of his face offs.

Epic GDT, expect a win of epic proportions

McLeod went 11/13 last time we saw them and Hischier was 8/13. On our side Danforth was 6/7 followed by Sillinger who was 5/10. The obvious thing here is let Danforth take more draws than Fantilli who isnt nearly Hughes bad in that department but still learning

McLeod is having an amazing season with his face offs.

We might want our young guys to go up against him just to see what he does.

After reading that, I expect to blow an 11 goal lead in the third period, but maybe win in OT.

Yeah McLeod is kind of a modern day Perrault but its kind of a veteran thing, i doubt they learn too much on the fly in a game. No more than Hughes would learn every practice or our guys working with Boone. Or even Chicago who hired Yanic Perrault just to be a faceoff consultant and their young guys also still struggle

crazy how canadians are dominant in FO win % !

Crazy how good Yanic Perrault was at faceoffs over a long period.

They're really not saying much about the Kuraly injury. I know he's day-to-day with an abdominal issue. Are we talking about a groin issue from the way he went down after the hit?

It was never a groin issue. He speared himself in the abdomen with his own stick.

Wonder if there’s betting odds on whether Olivier drops the gloves tonight.

 

[MVP Zacha]

Devils fan coming in peace. So glad to see him back in NJ (but with the wrong sweater). I for one will be cheering his return, he was an absolute warrior for the Devils and I wish the Devils had the cap space to bring him back.
