Everybody always says teams in their first game back from a long west coast roadie are sluggish and out of it. Well, it's our first game back so we'll see how that theory holds up.

CBJ 4
LA 2

 

[Nanabijou]

Going to the game tonight. Feel like the team is due to a let-down after the a strong road trip and grabbing Torts' 500th win in Vancouver. Hoping I'm wrong and this team continues to surprise.

 

[Columbus Jack]

You can tell this team had started to lose their form in VAN. Hopefully it was due to a long road trip and not coming back to Earth. Staying positive and going to say 3-2 CBJ

 

[anteater90]

Bring it Boys.

Proud either way.

Want to be there but will be on the ice at the Ice Haus with my team, so make sure I hear the cheers.

Go Jackets!!!

 

[CharlotteJacket]

The last few early in the week games at home we drew around 11,000 fans. With the way the team is playing, I'm hoping that's up around 15,000 for tonights game.

 

[Heinze 57]

the Kings have scored 1 goal in their last two games

Jeff Carter will have his usual goal and assist in Columbus. Blue Jackets win 4-2.

 

[Fro]

Kings have been playing bad lately...Carter called out the team for their play.

They're in the middle of a LOOOOONG road trip, so should be right for the pickings....

but go Carts!

 

[Bobcat110]

LA limping along in December at 4-4-1.

LA playing their 5th road game in 8 nights.

CBJ coming home from Western Canada road trip.

CBJ probably starting McElhinney


Sounds like the making for a snoozefest 2-1 SO loss.

 

[Dr. Fire]

They always say the toughest game is the first home game after a western road trip.

Let's buck that scenario.

 

[Cowumbus]

My best friend is taking his new gf to her first CBJ game, for this reason I think we lose.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Dubi seems overdue for a big game. Going against a physical team like L.A. should be to his liking.

 

[CBJ goalie]

A bit surprised to see C-Mac getting the nod...thought he would get one of the back-to-backs later this week.
In any event, he has played well in his starts so I have confidence in him.

[JohnnyJacket13]

Just win, baby

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Kings aren't scoring well, C-Mac is playing well. I like the idea.

 

[Kev22]

No TV for me, Twitter only, got to respect the streak. Like the players now do, I expect them to win.

KULLERVOINEN, youthful wizard,
In his blue and scarlet stockings,
Henceforth lingered with his parents;
But he could not change his nature,
Could not gain a higher wisdom,
Could not win a better judgment;
As a child he was ill-nurtured,
Early rocked in stupid cradles,
By a nurse of many follies,
By a minister of evil.

 

[GoJackets1]

2-1 Kings. Carter with both goals. Hopefully I'm wrong and our play at home continues. Go Jackets!

 

[Inglewood JACKets]

First game of the year for me. I'm stoked. My son will be partaking in the intermission skate tonight. I've waited a long time for this. Lol

That was often my favorite part of going to CBJ games back in the day. Enjoy it!

Nah. Want Bob rested for HUGE Divisional game vs Pens and probably vs big game vs Habs.

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

Any point tonight is a good point in my book.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Lifetime memories. Get that camera/phone ready!

 

[Old Guy]

Any chance we hear "We Want Ten" for the second time this year (albeit a different kind of ten)?

 

[Nordique]

C-Mac has been solid all year. I think we grab 11 and head into Thursday on a collision course with Les Pingouins.
