Hyper Super Critical

Hopefully we buck the trend of the majority of teams coming off of their bye week losing.

"Sending out an SOS" We need a win, critical game... & bring back Tavares in Union Blue

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Would be very pleased with a W tonight. Expect the Jackets to look lethargic in the first. Hopefully Bob is on his game.

 

[lakai17]

Should be a tight game.

Attack Tavares non stop as he can create anything he wants when he's on the ice.

That Beauvllier was a steal in his draft year too. The defence and Dubinsky need to be on him as he's sneaky. Kid has wheels.

 

[lakai17]

It's crazy to see Columbus ice four defenceman who are 22 years old and younger.

That has to be the youngest on average for defenceman league wide. All the playoff experience is so valuable for them.

 

[ReggieRed]

Wait...what? There's a game tonight? I thought the season was over!

Hopefully they'll jump right back into things...a big B2B right out of the break.

Time to get down to bidness. Let's Go Jackets!!!

 

[LoveCBJ]

Go CBJ!

Yeah I saw a graphic a few weeks ago and showed CBJ had the youngest D group in the league by over a full year. JJ is the old man at 30

korpi starting

korpi starting

Whats the scoop on him?

 

[NotWendell]

I'm expecting a very sloppy game. We'll need to score 4 or score to win this one.

 

[NotWendell]

Whats the scoop on him?

He's good, but he's no Bobrovsky.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

He's good, but he's no Bobrovsky.

Could have guessed he's no Bob lol, his stats aren't that great. Backups still make me nervous.

You should be fine

 

[lakai17]

Korpi is still decent. This is a great test for his game, a lot of talent on the Islanders.

Savard barely a vet himself. Another vet on d would do wonders for depth and experience though.

 

[NotWendell]

Rimer doesn't look so good tonight

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I'm not going to be mad at this game. We had a long break, and by starting korpi it signals that we aren't taking this game seriously, and are looking at tomorrow instead. Hopefully we play well

 

[CBJWerenski8]

What a tip. Nice start

 

[The Jones Zone]

Outstanding!

I'll drink to that

 

[Halfboard]

Cheers!! Heineken!!

 

[NotWendell]

Helluva job by Wild Bill to start that play!
