Hope we come out strong. Iirc we tend to struggle against Carolina and Ottawa, Especially on the road.

 

[LoveCBJ]

Go Jackets! Will be there in section 108.

 

[Old Guy]

I looked at the line ups and was amazed by the Carolina defensive pairings. Noah Hannifin on the 3rd pair? That’s not what I was expecting from this youngster.

Name|Games|Goals|Asst|Points|+/-|PIM
Jaccob Slavin| 40|1|15|16|11|6
Brett Pesce|40|1|9|10|13|6
||||||
Ron Hainsey|40|2|7|9|-8|15
Justin Faulk|33|7|9|16|-11|12
||||||
Noah Hanifin|40|2|11|13|-12|22
Matt Tennyson|24|0|2|2|-4|0

How can that 1st D-pairing be +11 and +13 on a team that is -11? That’s amazing! That has to be a big reason Carolina is 12-4-1 at home. This will not be a cake walk by any measure.

If Columbus can shut down that 3rd line of theirs, the Jackets can walk out with 2 points. Aho, Tervainen and Stempniak with 23, 21, and 19 points respectively – from a 3rd line. The Jackets need to forecheck, forecheck, and forecheck. Add one or two PP goals and we have a new streak started. Looking forward to being there this evening (Sec 113) and cheering on the CBJ

Faulk, Hanifin, and Slavin are their 3 best D men. Appears instead of having a top pairing they have split them up. Carolina has a young talented team. I get incredibly jealous every time I watch Aho play. #CBJ passed him up at 29 for Gabriel Carlsson. (as did many other teams in all fairness)

 

[Heinze 57]

Year 4 and I still forget we're in a division with these guys.

Carolina has some guys who can play and Cam Ward is playing really well right now. They're not pushovers. I've watched a few of their games and they kind of worry me more than Philadelphia does. Plus, feels like we have trouble in Raliegh for whatever reason.

I'm calling OTL on this one.

Faulk, Hanifin, and Slavin are their 3 best D men. Appears instead of having a top pairing they have split them up.

Actually, Slavin, Pesce, and Faulk are the 3 best, by a good margin. Hanifin is still 19 years old and adjusting to NHL speed, and not ready to slide up into the #2 LHD position. Hainsey is still better in that slot.

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

A strong message was sent to the team with Mac getting waived - I'll be interested to see how they respond tonight.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

LOL. First Lack concussed and now this.

If Ward is truly hurt, then you get Leighton with, Jorg Alves as back-up again. Hopefully just a precaution or equipment issue with Ward.

Oh, and like geehaad said, Faulk, Slavin and Pesce have been the best D on Carolina by a good margin. Slavin and Pesce have been great together. The emergence of Slavin has given the Canes the luxury of going slow with Hanifin which is great considering how little experience he had (no USHL and only 1 year NCAA). It also has allowed them to keep Fleury in the AHL.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Bob is sick, Forsberg in tonight

 

[GoJackets1]

Intrigued by Forsberg tonight.

Also, I have only one guarantee for this game, and that is Stempniak scoring. Always happens.

 

[Jaxs]

Might as well get Forsberg in the mix right away. Bob being sick makes it happen.

 

[Nordique]

Bob is sick, Forsberg in tonight

Welcome to the NHL kid.

IMO, you will see 18 skaters killing it on the ice to help AF in his first start of the season. Should be a good game to watch, and no Metro team is a push over, so I fully expect a battle.

Bob is sick, Forsberg in tonight

So do we dress our own emergency backup?

 

[Dr. Fire]

Wow, 4th game in 6 nights. Who is the drunk/doper that makes these schedules?

 

[Jaxs]

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Cool, weird.

Thanks.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

How odd that neither goaltender that dressed last game will be there tonight!

 

[CBJ goalie]

Interested to see how the team plays in front of Forsberg.

Carolina has been another nice surprise this season, so I hope they aren't taken lightly.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

Go Jackets! Will be there in section 108.

We will be in 109

 

[We Want Ten]

We will be in 109

I will be sitting in 43240.

 

[Unsustainable]

Carolinas lines:

Skinner - Rask - Ryan
McGinn - Staal - Lindholm
Aho - TT - Stempiak
Nordstrom - McClement - Stalberg

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Expect the Jackets to play a tight, north-south low-scoring game. Hopefully Forsberg carries over his AHL form.

Might want to trade the binoculars for a telescope
