Gee….I thought we might pull a surprise tonight, but not happening with Gudbranson being out.

 

[CBJ goalie]

Ok, whoever is sticking pins in the Blue Jackets voodoo doll, that's ENOUGH

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Vegas is #3 in overall standings... not exactly expecting a win here tonight. But if Johnny is out, man oh man do I wanna see where Johnson slots in. Still on the 3rd line? ...

 

[Jovavic]

Big night from Wild Bill and JAM incoming, Tarasov will need to make 40+ saves to keep it close

Poor Daniil.

 

[ViD]

I don’t believe I’ve heard Billy Sweezey name before

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Sounds like we are fully embracing the tank.

I feel like the team has lit my season ticket money on fire right in front of my eyes.

It's been thrown around lately a few times but don't think I heard it before this season either. He played in Cleveland last year too, attended training camp this year but was probably among the first cuts (don't remember him standing out or anybody writing about him here). 26 years old, so not sure if there's much upside left, more of a true depth piece at this point I guess.

On the bright side, last two games I went to I was sitting in 104 for $10. Damn parking now costs more than tickets

Sweezey came here last season. He played well enough for Columbus to give him a contract. Basically a depth call up in case of a lot of injuries, like now. He has become kind of a favorite here because he likes to hit people and isn't afraid to drop the gloves. Plus, he seems like a likeable guy. Played college hockey at Yale, and was ECAC All-Academic all four years.

He's a mix of Patrick Swayze, Young Jeezy and Billy Sheehan. So imagine "She's Like the Wind" only rapped and with some ridiculous bass lines.

I'm guessing I WON'T have the time of my life.

I didn't think I'd be saying this, especially this early in the year, but I'm sad that Olivier is a scratch. I hope it's not performance based

Edit: It is an illness

 

[MAHJ71]

Super cringe when opposing team fans feel the need to do their special anthem yells in away arenas.

Got season tickets for the second time this past season (first time living out of state) and thought it would be worth driving into town a few times throughout the season...

Costs $100 just to drive to town and back (+food+Uber to and fro) and it's just not worth it this season. We just ended up selling most of our games(definitely didn't get what they were worth) but we're just gonna use our credit to upgrade our seats so at least the games we go to will at least be somewhat enjoyable.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

This dislodging net issue needs to be solved at the league level. It's getting ridiculous and it doesn't seem to be the goalies' fault as such. First this season at Nationwide though.

 

[ViD]

I see game is extremely eventful based on activity here

Uneventful but the Jackets have played quite responsibly on D ……so far

Spoke too soon…..no clearing

 

[ViD]

A ridiculous bounce goes in…oh well

 

[Halfboard]

He. Played. In. Columbus.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

0-1 VGK after another unlucky bounce. Hope they don't get fazed by that.

0-2 VGK, nice play and shot from the center, meh.

Game over ?

Tarasov screened and puck also deflected

No. It’s not over til the fat lady sings and she’s still in her dressing room.
