Well the Canucks also played tonight so they'll be tired and the Blue Jackets should be well rested since they never showed up.
Calvert is huge but after close to 800 CBJ games, 6 or so head coaches, 3 general managers and three Presidents here's my bottom-line....
NO SPIRIT........ No spark, no CAUSE!!!!!
The Jacket team lacks what a team as Detroit or ST. Louis has.... “Self-respectâ€â€¦.!!!!

This post has nothing to do with our win/loss status.. but I'm wondering: Am I the only poster who thinks we had a lot of scoring chances tonight?
I agree with everything you're saying.
My emphasis on the one goal losses was not to make anyone 'feel good' about it or to argue with the bozos see doom at the slightest sign of adversity, rather, to point out that the team was in those games and in some cases played well enough to win. This happens to every team at some point as we all know. As we also all know, the good teams find ways to stick to their game and find a way to turn it around. What I saw tonight was a team that is getting impatient, panicky and frustrated. They're abandoning their game and they're not doing what they need to do to be successful. Like any team, if you work hard without results long enough, you start to press and get out of doing things the right way. Good teams find a way to not regress and blow up like what we saw tonight - that's why a game like tonight concerns me and a game like the Boston game does not.
We can all agree that losses in general are frustrating, particularly lost opportunities to gain even just 1 point like Thursday night. I'm just not the kind of guy who's going to line up on the cliff every time the team loses. Unless they start stringing nights like tonight together, I'm still not that concerned with the overall trajectory of this organization/team.

Well, now we are 2-5, four losses in a row with the last one being 4-1. I don't want to be a downer, but there is now just cause for concern.
But you and too many here are the type that see a Locomotibve coming down the track and say "don't worry, all wiil be fine, his breaks will work"
In other words... blasé to the point of being rediculous... I guess that's the way many are wired.... ugh.
I frankly don't think this team is going anywhere as long as #21 is allowed to play the blue line in anything other than a powerplay specialist role.
Anyone think the jackets could be interested in Laviolette ? He is a very good coach. Can't imagine we can Richards yet, but just fantasizing.
LOL yeah guys let's sign Vinny Prospal. He's the franchise changer we need.
Unreal. I liked Vinny, I liekd him alot. But let's be serious now.
Either way, we're in trouble.

I can produce 4 good reasons right now, top of my head without thinking.You know what, until you can produce a legit reason why bringing back last year's top scorer is a bad idea and worth LOLing (hint: there isn't one), your arrogant and dismissive responses to suggestions we bring him back are paper thin. Especially when you're writing the season off after 3 games.
If you don't understand the value of a guy like him on a club like this right now, go back to school.
Just out of curiosity - those who are preaching infinite patience - how long is too long to wait to make a change such as firing Richards, or swinging a trade? Is it 3 more losses in a row? Two? a split of games on the upcoming homestand? I'm just asking because if this drags on and we go 2-7 or 2-8 to start, I'm not sure many teams have come back from that to make the playoffs. With a guy like Laviolette out there, I'd be inclined to pull the trigger sooner rather than later.
Thanks SG.... for letting all know who you think is the intelligent poster.... It just so happens some in Columbus Dispatch print think I'm intelligent too...
