Still a bit banged up on the back end. The key here is to establish and maintain possession and the forecheck. Get North and stay North.

Lets Go Jackets!! Camtastic gets his hat trick tonight!! dude is on fire & goal scorers score in bunches! He walked away from the ASG knowing he can play with anyone. Jones & Bob come up big tonight as well.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

I'm not expecting wins tonight or on Thursday in Pittsburgh. I'd be happy with a split and then some better results with all of the February home games the Jackets have coming up.

 

[MFRONE]

No Bob tonight. Does Torts even care about making the playoffs? Giving a guy a rest after not "playing" for 5 days is a bit ridiculous.

My over/under for points this week for the three games is 2.5

I don't like it either. Bob should be ready to go and starting tonight.

 

[major major]

Rest is a-okay with me.

If anything I'm mad that they played Savard before the all star break.

Love the optimism!

Agreed. But always hoping for 4 points from these two.

That does seem odd. Maybe it's just to play Korps a bit more to see what we have (and see if we need to make a trade). Still odd to rest him against a rival.

I'm pretty sure Torts doesn't care about making the playoffs. He's a washed up coach on the downside of his career just using Columbus to earn a paycheck. In fact, I believe he's purposefully trying to scuttle the team's chances, so he doesn't have to coach extra games, just like he did at the ASB. And Bob is probably complicit in this nefarious scheme.

 

[Hello Johnny]

Gonna get smoked probably.

4-1 NYR

Lambert just showed up!

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Critical game, must win, etc...

 

[EdwardG]

I'll tell you, the NHL/NBA dog days have been insufferable the last few weeks between the Jackets and the Cavs, especially road games. Be nice to see the CBJ play more confidently and get a win.

You have finally seen the light.

About time.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

We rarely seem to play well at MSG. I really don't like how the defense looks without Savard in there.

Hopefully the top-6 can contribute in a big way tonight. Go Jackets.

You really believe this nonsense, or is it sarcasm?

 

[Jaxs]

Will it be the rusty Jackets or the revived Jackets tonight?

Period 1: revived Jackets
Period 2: rusty Jackets
Period 3: Desparate Jackets

4-3 Rags.

Korpi is usually good for at least 4 goals a game. He did look really good on Saturday in Cleveland though (sans shootout lol), so I don't know what to expect from him or the team tonight.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Anyone else with DirecTV not getting the pregame/game in HD??

This sounds about right
