Indeed!

Sam Rosen >> Doc Emrick

"Its aaaaa Power Plaaaay goal..............."

Rosen's great..............

 

[Columbus Mike]

4-0 Jackets after 2, game finishes 4-3. Torts walks by the room after the game and Canadian media claims he's blowing off the team. Message board meltdown ensues.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Just win, baby.

Per NYR GDT and a tweet, we may be seeing Raanta in goal tonight.

Jody Shelley confirmed same thing. He was on Sirius XM from arena and said Hank was on ice still, so unlikely to go tonight.

Our goaltender is better than their goaltender.

I wouldn't swap goaltenders with Rangers, but Raanta's been pretty good.

Raanta:
19 GP 10-5 Record 2.34 GAA .918 SV% 2 Shutouts

Bobvrosky:
44 GP 30-11 Record 2.17 GAA .926 SV% 3 Shutouts

Didn't JD do some work with them?

I don't recall, but I could see JD involved with games at MSG.

I remember listening to Gary Thorne do play by play on the radio for the Mets during the 1986 World Series. Ahhh was that glorious! Dude has a great voice for sports (like Gus Johnson).

Hope we destroy the NYR on national tv. A shame we only play once on NBC. (Nothing but Chicago)

amend that to also include the Pens

 

[CBJWerenski8]

This is on NBCSN? Cool, hopefully we won't be blacked out here in CBus.

Go us.

He's doing what to the team?!?!

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

Indeed!

Be thankful for what we have. The Canes announcers are WAY worse. I seriously turn off the volume when I have to watch their feed.

 

[Miggus]

This will be my first NHL game attended in person! I'm not expecting a 10-0 win or even a win necessarily, but I sure do hope we see the good Jackets show up tonight and the game is memorable. 5-4 OT win

I'll be sitting a few rows behind the Rangers goal (section 109, aisle seat) if some of you are in the building and want to come say hi, or send a PM if you'd like to meet up. I'll be the guy with a beard and glasses in a Nash home jersey.

Wait...what? First game? Expect a win!

Great for you!! Enjoy and cheer the Jackets on to that win.

Isn't the play by play tv guy John Forsland? Jeez, he's a real good announcer............

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Chris Cutherbert and Pierre are calling the game according to Kenny Albert

Yes and Tripp Tracy is even worse. I will take Jackets announcers any day.

That's 4th string? I'd rather have Kenny. On the other hand I guess I can't criticize CC until I've heard him.

Mention it's your first game to either an usher or guest services and they should be able to get you for free a "my first NHL game " hockey puck.

Cuthbert is the best in the business. Best timbre. He used to call all the 10pm et games on hockey night in Canada going back to the 1980's. Maybe I'm biased because I grew up with it. Pierre and Cuthbert were the team for the 2010 Olympics btw.

Not a Forslund fan. When he gets excited I want to plug my ears.

"Little Cam Atkinson out of Avon High School and Boston College...."

I will bet anyone a shot that Pierre says this tonite.
