It's been too long since we've seen a solid game from this team. I'm expecting one tonight, especially coming off a few days off

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Last outing against Carolina was bad, particularly the power play (1 shot on 4 chances or something like that). Hoping for a more spirited effort tonight. Would like to see the Jackets pick up 4 out of 6 points on this homestand.

If we really are a top team, playing three games at home against good, not great opponents, I'm looking for a sweep and six points.

Your personal life is your own business, kid, but damnit why did you have to bring the Blue Jackets into it.

 

[Nordique]

I thought we played very well vs Tampa (after the 1st period) tbh.

My concern is goaltending for obvious reasons.

We'd be 4-1 over our last 5 if we had serviceable consistent backup goaltending.

I think we have something to prove against this Hurricane team. I don't doubt the effort on the ice tonight. I still question our goaltending as Bob could very well be out again.

 

[Dr. Fire]

Canes are hot right now.

Time to cool them off.

Yes, and an excellent opportunity for the Jackets to gain some of their mojo back with a win.

I agree that the club hasn't been that bad lately - more like middle of the road.

But I doubt that a serviceable backup goalie buys us 4 wins. Bob, yes, but backup goalies in general?

 

[Ar-too]

Echoing some previously stated thoughts: would like to see them play well tonight and get a win. I might find myself chicken-littling a bit if they lose this game.

Anyone check out the Carolina game day thread - at least I think it's their game day thread? It might be the craziest mishmash I've read.

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

Blue Jackets win 4-1 Cam, Saad, Andy and Jones all pot goals tonight! Lets Go Jackets!!

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

I just read...whatever that was...

I have no idea how to respond.

Absolutely par for the course with us.

Our projected lines from today. Hainsey didn't participate in the morning skate and will be a game time decision. Dahlbeck slotted in at Hainsey's usual pairing with Justin Faulk.

#53 Skinner - #49 Rask (A) - #33 Ryan
#23 McGinn - #11 Staal (A) - #16 Lindholm
#20 Aho - #86 Teravainen - #21 Stempniak
#42 Nordstrom - #18 McClement - #25 Stalberg

#6 Dahlbeck - #27 Faulk (A)
#74 Slavin - #22 Pesce
#5 Hanifin - #26 Tennyson

#30 Ward
#35 Nedeljkovic

Injuries and Scratches
#7 Ryan Murphy (Healthy)
#8 Ty Rattie (Healthy)
#29 Bickell (Multiple Sclerosis)
#31 Lack (Concussion)
#65 Hainsey (Undisclosed)

 

[Byrral]

No Hainsey? We'll win for sure now.

Caps are ahead by 2 points. Need to catch back up.

My favorite part is the igloos in Quebec conjecture......

 

[aRussian]

Big difference I notice right away is we are trying to hit and muddle. Carolina not getting good control and posture because of that. Keep that up.

 

[major major]

Great great start. Best since the Rags game.

 

[MFRONE]

Did the Jackets work on their PP yesterday?

 

[aRussian]

Hopefully that terrible PP doesn't swing momentum the other way too much

Quick response... Good to crash on net
