Every time Columbus comes to town I think of when we faced off against each other with the 10+ win streaks on the line.

 

[Webster]

Maroon to the 2nd line, based on morning skate.
Has he played top 6 before? Only on the Wild?

Should be fun tonight, can't lose this one.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Wonder if Laine is going to play in this one after that brutal hit he took. CLB is one of the few teams in this league I have almost no ill will towards. Though I don’t have any love for Laine from his Jets days, never wish head injuries on anyone.

Edit: Well, he is out for this one.

 

[MNRube]

I like CBJ - they have a little bit of everything. If Jiricek + Fantilli timelines can mesh with Gaudreau + Werenski timelines and they ever get another goalie, they have all the ingredients for a contender. Jarmo is what Guerin thinks he is

What's that?

What did Laine do to us during his Jets days? All I can remember from Laine on the jets is him getting blown up by Jake McCabe and then all hell broke loose.

I just don't like the way he plays, nothing malicious that he did.

I wouldn't normally like Walker on the 4th, but I kind of like that line now. Very fast, some grind, some skill, and decent defensively. Walker actually did kill penalties down in Iowa, and was pretty dangerous when he did, sort of like Fiala when he was here. He has a decent stick and IQ, plus breakaway speed.

 

[Sweetnut]

I wonder if Maroon being slotted with Ek is to protect him from being abused all the time and to focus more on scoring goals.
All I can do is to hope for a huge success, you never know until you try it.

Yes, and we have also seen how successful JEE is when he plays with board battlers, which appears to be Maroon's main ability and he honestly isn't terrible at it. This seems like an attempt at a discount GREEF and let the 4th line utilize its speed. People are going to see it as Maroon on the 2nd line, but Dean always rolls 4 anyway, the ice time will work itself out based on in game play.

If Kap gets to play with Johansson and Ek, is that considered the second line and he got demoted?
And if Foligno plays with Hart & Zuke, is that the first line?

The Rossi game

 

[I3LI3]

hey guys.

can y’all tell Kaprizov to chill tonight for the sake of our CBJ fan base? he scored 4 goals in 2 games against us last season. that’s enough.

- sincerely (coming in peace) a cbj fan

 

[Sweetnut]

So rumors say that Deano is going to start Gus tonight. I believe it when I see it.
CBJ is a tough nut to crack, and they got Elvis.
But we got Mack, Joe and Pat!

Well his last game was better but he still hasn’t woken up yet this season IMO. Sorry if it’s at your team’s expense but we need him to get back to his electric self asap.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

That hit on Laine was brutal, right at the end of the game no less. What a POS

suspended 4 games, rightfully so.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Didn’t get to watch any of the games this week and that’s why Rossi didn’t get on the scoresheet. I’m watching this one and you have a KSU garauntee that Rossi gets a point

 

[Webster]

Gus confirmed by Russo, as I expected after Fleury started laying eggs out there.

 

[Wasted Talent]

Rossi is yet to have a point where he didn't bat the puck out of mid-air.

(Not implying this is significant in any way)

 

[The Enemy Within]

Go Wild! Keep the Jackets quiet and lets not give up seven again.

 

[I3LI3]

[Soldier13Fox]

Wish they'd make these sweaters our primary

Espn sucks

 

[Sweetnut]

Maroon has been great so far

 

[AKL]

I'm such a big fan of these captains patches
