“@jrimercbj: #CBJ coach Todd Richards says Bobrovsky will be back in goal starting his 9th straight game vs #Preds and Rinne here in Nashville tonight”

 

[2CHAINZ]

Some more 2CHHHHAAAIIIIINNNNZZZZZ good karma a close one tonight 3-2 Jackets

 

[Hipster Letestu]

Shouldn't the title be Columbus vs Nashville?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Huge game. Huge

Saying "at" when it's an away game is perfectly acceptable sports lingo.

 

[Viqsi]

We win this one in regulation and we take the season series against Nashville too.

LET'S GO JACKETS!

 

[Dr. Fire]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Preds are really going to be pumped for this game. We don't see a repeat of their performance in Cols.

That said, the CBJ stay focused, and play their game and they have a good shot of taking this one.

 

[jackets4life]

Now THIS is a game I wish I could attend in person. This game could haunt us if we lose, especially if we lose in regulation. The confidence and trust I have in our guys right now has made me forget how to be a pessimist.

It originally said Calgary. I think that's what he was referring to.

 

[jacketsgeek]

I believe this team could weather a loss here. I have to think that fighting their way through the earlier losses of this season have toughened these guys up to 'shake it off' and get back on the horse.

BUT, I don't think they lose tonight!! They come out snarling and Nashville turtles. Nashville has looked to me like the CBJ just prior to Hitchcock's arrival - a team that didn't really wanna be on the ice. I think the Preds have lost their teeth.

13-in-a-row! No superstiion here...

 

[Matthew]

I predict a win so glorious that the next GDT will have 0 posts.

a #Massive sports day for Columbus teams...

I paid in full with the Jacket Backers for this game the night Vinny scored the last minute goal against Detroit (was at BW3 for the party), was going with a bunch of my ACA brethren...next day, ruptured a disc in my back...

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Huge game. Huge

CBJ noobs using the wrong adjective.

I believe this team could weather a loss here.

They could if it was Ducks or Blackhawks...but this game is huge for playoffs. Four point swing and 7% bump on the chances to make playoffs with regulation win.

Sharks fans don't understand when something is CRITICAL

 

[jackets4life]

So happy to see the Wild take care of the Sharkies today. Every game matters.

 

[2CHAINZ]

Yes Sharks pick up a whopping 0 points soooooooo good

It's a new era. Get rid of the old.

It's a new era. Get rid of the old.

Are we talking about the CBJ or the Sharks?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Are we talking about the CBJ or the Sharks?

heh, both.

 

[CBJx614]

Keeping this pace for 12/17 road games will definitely be tough, so every game is crucial to the Jackets making the playoffs. SJ and Dallas both need to go on losing skids. And if Detroit would lose one or two in a row it could really shake things up.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

It's a new era. Get rid of the old.

Pretty sure you need to be a CBJ-first fan to declare something like this. We welcome you. Now it's your call.
