[Dr. Fire]

Gonna have to watch this one on the tele. Jackets keep playing their game they should win this one.

 

[2minpenalty]

I really like the way the team has been playing of late. Here's hoping we continue the point streak and that Cam finds the back of the net!

 

[bester vaive]

Always good to welcome back Klesla and Vermette. Both were good soldiers during their time here. Guessing another low-scoring, OT/shootout game.

 

[EspenK]

2nd line of Sullivan-Vermette-Doan. 3 Jackets killers on one line.

 

[IBleedUnionBlue]

Love seeing Klesla back at NWA.

 

[Jaxs]

Love seeing Klesla back at NWA.

He's not injured?

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Two teams with similar styles. Good defense, spotty scoring up front and great goaltending.

It will probably be another 2-1 game. Hopefully Bob isn't gassed, he looked like it in the shootout last game.

Looking forward to tonight's game. First time we will e at Nationwide this season. My son won the Bob Evan's Honorary Captain Contest and gets to sit on the bench during warm-ups. Hope it all goes well.


GO JACKETS!!!

...Hopefully Bob isn't gassed, he looked like it in the shootout last game.

I didn't think he looked so much gassed as really frustrated by being so totally undressed by Kane. I think he saw the move he expected and overplayed the poke check.

The kid has really looked completely in control, these past few weeks. I'm very impressed with both his athleticism and his composure. No doubt he'll have his poor outings, all goalies do, but he's really showing the potential to be a solid young tender for a number of years. Is he a longterm #1? No way to tell, yet; but he's looking more like it than anyone I've seen in net for the Jackets since Tugger, and that includes Mason in his Caulder-winning rookie month of excellent play. Here's hoping he keeps it up!

See if he can get RJ less ice time.

Hope you all have a great time.

Two games below .500 for us. Wouldn't it be nice to win the next two.

Mike Smith is 2.92 (56th) in goals against.
Can we score that many?

Coyotes have a poor road record: 3-6-2.

 

[NotWendell]

Aucoin out, Moore in (most likely)

 

[IBleedUnionBlue]

He's not injured?

I do get it. But on a serious note, we got some guys now that are giving Klesla a run for the money when it comes to being hurt.

 

[pete goegan]

Aucoin out, Moore in (most likely)

I approve.

 

[Columbus Mike]

Did I see Collins had an emergency call up?

It's nice to be excited to see a hockey game in mid-March. Let's get two points tonight in regulation and make things interesting.

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Collins might be in tonight. Umberger is a game time decision.

Seems like we're recalling and sending somebody down nearly every game.

Feel bad for Springfield. Must be difficult to make a lineup when somebody new is going up every day or 2.

I can't help but feel positive about tonights game, there is no reason for the relentless checking/defensive game Richards has sold to the players to stop.. there is no reason to think Bobrovsky will stop playing well.

If only the Jackets could find a way to score a few more than one goal in regulation they could move up in the standings... I think they are going to take two points tonight, at least I hope so...

John Davidson in the box here in Pittsburgh. Short drive from Columbus to see his old Rangers face the Penguins.

Hmmmm.

 

[Jaxs]

Hmmmm.

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Hmmmm.

RJ was hurt during morning skate.

 

[NotWendell]

RJ was hurt during morning skate.

Oh well, perhaps it's Aucoin or Nikitin? I just have a gut feeling a shoe is about to drop. Too much smoke in Pittsburgh for there not to be fire.
